This one is easy for me its The Show.
I just get bored with it really quick.
I talked my buddy into letting me borrow his PS3 and I rented the Show about a month ago.
I played it for 3 days, I played a total of about 20 games and I got bored playing it. My buddy could not believe I brought his PS3 back so quick. He had told me I could borrow it as long as I wanted to. I was all set to keep it all summer and to play the Show all summer.
I know 99% of the people on this board will think I am crazy but I couldnt wait to get back to playing MLB 2K9 and to this day I am still playing it.

Every AKI Nintendo 64 wrestling game. To me the graphics of the wrestlers were incredibly blocky compared to the Acclaim and THQ games, and (more pressing) the N64 controller isn't conducive to playing any game besides first-person shooters.

That controller killed just about every N64 game for me, actually.

The only people who don't love Tecmo Bowl are the ones who generally aren't old enough to remember playing it. I got more enjoyment out of playing Tecmo and Tecmo Super Bowl than I get out of playing football games now.

Pretty much.

I don't really dislike any games the community likes. I mean, I'm not too big into college football, college basketball, or the NBA so I don't buy those games anyway. But any game I do get that the community seems to love (MVP, MLB The Show, NFL 2k5, Madden) I always seem to like.

Same for me. I think I bought that game twice back when it was new, and I've bought it used once. I could never get into it though because I thought the game had major flaws and was borderline broken.

Hmm, I can understand that point. Personally, I've bought NFL 2k5 twice myself (thank God for that original $20 price tag). I've had many trials and tribulations with it but I guess one day I got over the hump and it's been pretty much all love since then.

Halo

Are you implying that Halo is so beloved by some that they consider it to be a sport?

MLB the show 08. Quit playing it about a month after it came out. 09 is much better imo.

NFL 2K5. At the time it came out I liked Madden 05 much better.

NFL 2k5.

Couldn't get into it, the gameplay didn't do it for me - but I did enjoy the presentation.

I guess I just play Madden for the franchise (don't really play that many of the games, but the ones I do I don't see too many "gamebreakers").

The first NFL Head Coach as well, although not sure that's beloved. I loved the 2nd iteration though.

Basically any baseball game, they just bore me to death!

MVP 05. I can see why people liked the game but the regard it's held in by some people, to me, is just ridiculous. I never felt comfortable playing and no matter how time I spent playing it whether it was a game or practice I could never get the batting aspect down.

Any text based sim (OOTP, Champ Manager, Worldwide Soccer, etc).

I just can't get into these. I've tried multiple times and they just bore the hell out of me. I end up not caring at all about my team or my players and always end up simming way too much cause I am bored.

I know they're decent games, I just don't care about stats enough to spend hours on these.

Exactly my sentiments.

I love The Show 09 after thinking 08 was just decent.

I hated 2K5.
