Good sports games on Xbox live?

I've been looking around, and it seems like the only worthwhile sports games on Xbox live is ESPN College Hoops. Links 2004 has got some good reviews from the people here, but it looks like more of an arcade-style game, which especialy when it comes to Golf I'm not a big fan of. Any recommendations?

Links 2004 is awesome. Project Gotham and RalliSport are excellent. The entire line of ESPN games is good online, but really, it's what you wanna play. I dig the baseball, some people dig the hoops, some dig the football.

Wait until this summer when EA and Sega are competing for Live users. It'll get better then.

Waaaay too many strikeouts in ESPN Baseball online. The lag time between pressing the button and the player swinging the bat is unbearable. Or have their fixed this?

Pumpy, if you're using the cursor, that's half your problem. If you're using the cursor AND the faster pitch speeds, well, DUH.

If you turn down the pitch speed somewhat, or go to the timing based batting model, you're gonna have more fun with that.

Well, I can handle the combination of "true aim" and the pitch speed offline, but the lag is a problem online. I doubt my online opponents would be too happy with me fooling with their pitch speeds.
