[YellowOnYellow]

[Love Pirate]

if major league ken griffey jr. for the n64 isn't first ill rage

THE GOAT!



actually played 5 whole 162 game seasons never simulated. thats how good it was

honorable mention:

So much this dude... Just saw this thread for the first time and came in to post this! I put so many hours into that game. I would always do a fantasy draft and then make a ton of trades until I had my dream team. It would let me trade any 3 mediocre players for a superstar. Brb picking up free agents just to trade them


My lineup looked like this:

DH - Edgar Martinez
SS - ARod
LF - Bonds
CF - Griffey
DH - Frank Thomas
C - Piazza

Can't remember who else. Also would grab Pedro, Schilling, Daryl Kile(rip), randy johnson

nostalgia/10


edit for

[laxster]

why would anyone rank a game from the 90's above a game from
present day? I'm guessing graphics and overall gameplay don't matter anymore right?

I still play n64 and games like blitz and hangtime kick the **** out of most of the trash that comes out today

[BillVickerson]

Street basketball, NBA 2k9, Madden 10, NCAA 13 i'd say have been my favorite. Hot Shots Golf was great back in the day as well if you count that as a sports game.

[jon1995]

No MVP baseball or street ball no care

[zpaintballer]

Never watched a hockey game or had in interest in hockey, but played this game for hours and hours

hey dumbass, you really think ESPN is filled with game savy nerds?

they arent listing Madden 2013 because of innovational graphics engines or realistic faces....

They are going to list long lasting and household named franchises and games that had an impact on sports and culture moreso.

[ryantodd7]

nfl 2k5 was so boss..... bishes be mirin my crib decked in colts gear

[Strizzz]

Lol..

[BEASTMODE420]

if not #1 list is chit

YES! My gf and I walked into a vintage game store yesterday and I heard the whistle from the game, yelled is that baldes of steel!?!? hauled ass to the screen and almost creamed lol

Madden 2005 needs to get a mention with the introduction of the hit stick. Or at least Madden 06 which had the hit stick and added the truck stick

Agreed, never stopped playing those even when the new ones kept coming out. Even when Alexander was on the cover, those ones were still better. They changed the "game" lol

I still remember some of the stats lol.. Every player got a 1-10 in hitting power, accuracy, throwing, and speed. Griffey was 10, 10, 10, 8. There were only 4 players with 10 and 10 in power and accuracy. Piazza, Griffey, Bonds, and Frank Thomas

Edit - and how everyone only had the same few batting stances. Except Griffey of course got his own

hell yea and all those stats determined hoe large their "hitting circle was"

I just recalled how the annoucer would say out differently for 1st 2nd and 3rd outts lol

1st- was like a quick "OUT!"

2nd- was like a slightly louder "OUT!!"

3rd- was like a slightly dragged out "OOuuTTtttt"

Hi, this is Ken Griffey JR, lets play Major League Baseball.

[lsiberian]

The gameplay of modern sports game isn't really that much better in most franchises plus innovation simply doesn't happen much anymore in sports games. The development costs are too high and the programming talent level too low. When I can make 6 figures programming a fighter jet rather than 5 figures working 80 hour weeks to make a game? It tells you why games simply rehash the engines from the 90s still.

Fifa is an exception to this, but that's because it's the top selling game every year.

GOAT Sports games for me.
FIFA 13, Tecmo Super Bowl 3 Final Edition, Ken Griffey 64, NCAA Football 2002(Recruiting)

[Trapstar4.4]

that blades of steel makes me want to shed a tear

i remember arch rivals being pretty fun. i didnt own it, but a cousin of mine did. from what I remember it was fun to get violent on the court

Brb bombing 5 ground rule a game with Edgar Martinez and his bubble was almost as big as the whole strike zone

Edit - and Sammy Sosa sucked in that game but hit 66 homers that year

[Leatherneck1833]

So much nostalgia in this thread.



Every once in a while I still ball it up on Double Dribble. They all still work gents. Thanks for taking me back to my roots. Blades of Steel I still have to blow on the cartridge and say a little prayer to get it to work though. Doesn't always work!
