OS Lists: Top Three Most Dominant Digital Athletes Ever

[RaychelSnr]

Video game super heroes aren't born often, but when they are they bring with them hours of pure enjoyment and hatred. Too many times did your friend amass 300 rushing yards with Vick from 04. Too many times did Bo Jackson bowl through your entire team like he was predicting Marshawn Lynch's future.

We asked our staff on who they thought were the most overpowered video game athletes of all time with one caveat: we didn't want any of the easy answers like Vick or Jackson.

What about a TSB player who was severely overshadowed by Jackson's dominance, but who was just as effective: Christian Okoye? He'd be my number one.

3. Michael Vick - Madden 04... My friends and I got to the point where you weren't allowed to play as the Falcons in a head to head match-up

I don't understand how Michael Vick from Madden 04 didn't make one list.

I don't understand how Michael Vick from Madden 04 didn't make one list.

If you read the article you'll find out why Vick wasn't on any of these lists.

For me personally here are mine and I'm an International fan.

1. Ray Lewis Madden 04 He is still playing today and he's only what 37 he's also won a superbowl and has been to multiple pro bowls.

2. Allen Iverson NBA 2K Come on when your MVP in the league in 2001 yes I know Jordan wasn't in his prime but still look at the talent he had to go up against night in and night out.

3. Tim Tebow NCAA Football 10 Tim Tebow hasn't had a great career so far besides last years playoffs regardless he will never be forgotten in the college game. He won 2 National Championships in which he almost won a 3rd as well. I think if he would've been on the cover you could add Cam Newton to the debate as well.

Michael Vick in ESPN 2k5 anyone?

[Gramps91]

Shaq is definetley up there. What about Brock Lesnar on UFC 2010. Also Ben Wallace on 2k5 was a multiple Defensive Player of the Year winner.

[Sportsfan0290]

By the way good point on Brock Lesnar he's played in WWF games, Madden, maybe NCAA and UFC. How many people have done that? All he needs to complete is NBA 2K, NHL, and FIFA. Now that be something.

Yup I remember this when I was younger you couldn't ever use this team . Vick literally owned madden that year . He was like using odd job in 007.
