Power Ranking the 50 Greatest Baseball Video Games of All-Time


Joel Reuter, baseball columnist for Bleacher Report, has just posted his power rankings of the 50 Greatest Baseball Video Games of All-Time. Agree or disagree?

Quote:
For as long as there have been video game systems, there have been sports video games, and through the years, some of the best games ever made have been baseball games.

From the first baseball game for the Atari 2600 system back in 1978 to MLB2K11 this season for the Xbox 360 and PS3, there have been some great games, as well as some not so great games. It should be noted, PC games were not included for the sake of the list, so no Backyard Baseball (and no the PS@ version doesn't make the cut).

So here are my power rankings for the top 50 baseball video games through the years. I took into account how the game compared to its counterparts when it was released, if the game brought any groundbreaking innovations to the table and how playable the game still is today.

Didn't even click to your last choice.
You got #2 wrong, so #1 must be wrong also.

Tecmo Baseball may have been the 1st I played. I agree MVP Baseball is the best and still better than the Show.

How is the High Heat series not top 5? The batter/pitcher interface is better than anything on the market currently...

Also MLB Power Pros should be top 10 and its not even mentioned...

The ENTIRE High Heat Series was at #25? Hell no. Hard to reading after that but I also thought World Series baseball got a raw deal.
