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!!

NFL 2k5
MVP Baseball 05
MLB: The Show 11
NCAA Football 04/05 (take your pick)
NBA 2k12 (preferred over 2k11)
College Hoops 2k8

And although text sims more than likely won't make it, one of the best sports games ever is Out of the Park. Best sim out there.

NBA 2K11, NFL 2K5, MVP Baseball 2005, , WWE Day of Reckoning, Double Dribble, Tecmo Bowl, and Lakers vs Celtics.

That will be it.

I think NBA 2K11 is my #1 for the impact it had running the competition home.

Final 4 for me

1. NBA 2K11
2. MVP Baseball 2005
3. WWE Day of Reckoning
4. NFL 2K5

Got to add Mike Tyson Punchout to my list. Also need to add NBA 2K8 to my list.

That brings the list to NBA 2K11, NFL 2K5, MVP Baseball 2005, WWE Day of Reckoning, Double Dribble, Tecmo Bowl, Lakers vs Celtics, NBA 2K8, and Mike Tyson Punchout.

1. NBA 2K11
2, MVP Baseball 2005
3. WWE Day of Reckoning
4A. Mike Tyson Punchout
4B. NFL 2K5

FIFA12 needs to be on this list and I'm not a crazy soccer guy.

And how about MVP NCAA Baseball 07 for its playability. Love the analog hitting and pitching. Ahead of its time!

# 67 ps3veron @ 02/16/12 07:35 AM

MLB 11 The Show and FIFA 12 for me!

# 68 Vermin @ 02/16/12 08:28 AM

It would be a crime not to nominate NHL Hockey and Major League Baseball on the Intellivision. They were landmark in pushing sports games so far forward compared to the crap that Atari was pumping out on the 2600.

Oh, and second (third? fifth? 100th?) that nomination for MVP Baseball 2005.

# 69 Bulls321974 @ 02/16/12 08:34 AM

1. MLB 11: The Show
2. MLB 10: The Show
3. MLB 09: The Show
