Ah yes, Christmas.

A time of great cheer. Of fun, laughter, gifts -- and especially bad gifts. What, for you, was your White Elephant of sports gaming gifts? Our staff sounds off and invokes the names of such 'classics' as Shaq Fu and Nolan Ryan's Baseball. Read their stories and share your own!

My girlfriend at the time bought me a dreamcast and NFL 2k. Neither was good.

Kobe Bryant courtside comes to mind, the controls were awful.

John Elway Quaterback on the NES! Let's say I had more fun unwrapping the gift than playing the game itself. :-)

NHL Stanley Cup for the SNES...

Got NHLPA '93 for Christmas the previous year. Loved it, played it endlessly. But wait, now Nintendo is coming out with something better! It's got 3D "Mode 7" graphics!

Worst. Game. Ever. You would actually feel sick after playing because the graphics were so disorienting. Anyone who has played it before will know what I'm talking about. And to think I could've had one of the most legendary hockey games of all-time (NHL '94) instead. Bah humbug!

The early PS3 era MLB 2K games. Fantastic looking with effects we still don't see in today's games like the wind whipping uniforms around. Too bad all of that caused the game to run absolutely terrible for a console game, and the gameplay was just not good enough to make up for it.
