Second Ever Greatest Sports Game of All Time Tournament -- Nominations Thread

09:48 PM - February 15, 2012 by RaychelSnr

Back in 2008, we ran a 64 game tournament to decide the greatest sports game ever.

In our tournament back in 2008, NFL 2K5 dominated College Hoops 2K8 in the championship to capture the crown over 63 other sports games which were nominated by you and seeded by our staff.

Since 2008, we have seen many new great competitors enter the race. NBA 2K11, NHL 10, FIFA Soccer 10, MLB: The Show (pick a year), Forza Motorsport 4, WWE '12, Out of Park Baseball X, Trials Evolution are among many other likely newcomers into the bracket.

Before we seed the bracket, we are now taking nominations for seeding consideration. Please nominate all of the games you'd like to see in the bracket, games with more mentions in the thread will obviously get stronger consideration to be included in the 68 team bracket.

Nominations will be taken until we seed the brackets. Seeding will be announced on February 29, 2012. Match-ups will be announced March 1, 2012. Voting will begin to start crowning the champ on March 11, 2012.

So what are you waiting for? Start nominating your favorite sports games of all time!!

One of my favorite and still play to this day was Tony Larussa baseball for the Sega the graphics were poor but the playability was great for its day . In fact I have not played a baseball game to this day looking at MLB12 though.

where do we vote?

Nobody else noticed it was 2 2K games 3 years apart from each other that were battling it out?

ESPN NFL 2K5 until Madden got scared so they had to license in order to make money.
And College Hoops 2K8, a game they stopped making, and EA made 2 more CB games after that,
And to this day I keep hearing CB '10 is better than 2K8.

A game in 2009 should not be compared to a game in 2007, and a game in 2011 (Madden '11) should not be compared to a game in 2004 (ESPN 2K5) Sad.

Anyway, my list goes as followed,

NBA2K12
ESPN NFL 2K5
College Hoops 2K8
MVP Baseball 2005
NBA Live 2005
