After the release of a new Tecmo Bowl on the DS and a brand new iteration of the Punch-Out franchise on the horizon, I cannot help but wonder if I have been transported back to an earlier era. 2008's recent retro-revival got me thinking about other classic sports games that would translate well to our modern gaming consoles. 
I have come up with seven sports franchises (yes, seven, no more, no less) dying to make a comeback. This week I will be posting numbers 7-4, then next week 1-3. Feel free to leave your own suggestions in the comments section below.

Thanksgiving week, a time to eat like a king, spend time with family, let everyone know what you're thankful for -- and a time where your precious sports games collect dust.I remember when I was younger, Thanksgiving week meant three days with no school, and an endless amount of time to catch up on my fledgling video-game collection. It was a much simpler time back then. I had no responsibilities, and I sat at the kiddie table.
At the kiddie table, there was nothing better than talking with your cousins about how you were going to pull off a 1080 in Tony Hawk Pro Skater, all while devouring mashed potatoes drenched in heavy gravy. The older I got the more of a downer Thanksgiving started to become in the gaming department.

I have been a College Hoops 2K fan since the inception of the series back on my PS2. As a huge fan of college basketball, I always loved how 2K was able to get the little things about the game right. I loved how they would include all the teams, all the fight songs, all the mascots, all the arenas, all the jerseys, and it didn't hurt that the game always played great. As the years progressed, the 2K engine started showing its age, and I became increasingly bored with the series up until College Hoops 2K8 was released last November. 2K8 was the pinnacle of college hoops gaming -- from the outstanding pregame analysis, to the weekly wrap up shows, to the incredibly deep gameplay mechanics, CH 2K8 was a college basketball fan's dream come true. Needless to say, I was crushed earlier this year when I heard that 2K would no longer be continuing the franchise that had left me wanting more after the release of 2K8.
