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!!

Confusing title. When I first read it I thought it was a tournament to determine the second greatest sports game of all time, as if the greatest was already determined.

Anyway, as a 360-only owner, I'd say:

NCAA Football 11
College Hoops 2k8
NHL 10 (didn't play 11-12)
FIFA 09 (didn't play 10-11-12)
NBA 2k12 (didn't play 2k11)
Madden 10

Also, worst game, hands down:
NCAA Football 12 (I can't say enough bad things about that ridiculous abomination)

NBA 2k7 and NBA 2k11. Before 2k11 2k7 was the best nba game of all time, also college hoops 2k7 has to get some love from me. So those are my basketball selections.

NBA2k12 is HORRIBLE, after today's experience I think I'm done for awhile...(I was playing a game against the cpu they passed it to brook lopez as I was reaching in, Lopez started a layup I heard a whistle (reach in on Gaines) which led to Brook Lopez getting an easy 2 point layup then 2 more free throws. WOW).

My favorites we're
NBA2k11
NBA2k10
Madden 09
NFL2k5

Never easy to create lists because changes in technology throughout the years make things possible that weren't before.
When thinking of the most comprehensive sports games the 2 that stand out are NBA 2K11 & MLB The Show 11 (Soon to overtaken by 12 no doubt).

When reflecting on games further back in time consideration has to be given in regards to the quality of hardware at the time & also to what other games were about at the time. After all quality is relative.

Other games that stood out for me over the years are (in no particular order):-

Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix
NHL 94
Match Day 2 (Remember the ZX Spectrum, I still own one)
NFL 2K5
