Anybody else get a kick out of playing old sports games?

[Clutch Klutz]

I keep all my sports games as they're worth crap after the season's over. I do play them from time to time, like last night. I played NBA 2K6.
KG's still playing for the Wolves, Shaq can still play along side Wade, Thunders were still the SuperSonics, good times!

I actually like how simple 2k6 was gameplay wise.

Yeah! It always good to hear the songs you heard a long time ago, see those old animations and stuff like that. I like to play NBA Live 06 sometimes.

The only old sport game I still play is MVP Baseball 2006 (the one with Manny Ramirez on the cover). Unfortunately MVP 2006 is still the best baseball game to date. If only the 2K team of developers who make the NBA games could also make the baseball games... then maybe I could play some baseball from this decade! That would be awesome.

MVP Baseball was nice! 2K has exclusive rights to MLB, that's why there's no more MVP. EA did try NCAA Baseball in 2007, but they scrapped it due to poor sales. 2K shared their license with all other companies except EA for what they did with NFL license in 2006.
Anyhow, you didn't like The Show?

I've been playing 2K7 (vs the CPU) again the last 3-4 days. With my sliders, roster edits and playbooks (by some OSers) the game plays GREAT! Using the higher 'Broadcast' cam (Nosebleed, or something similar + zoom in the key) and it looks awesome and I can see everything.

Man, I've had some great games, with some nice stats and drama.

I have the best nostalgic moments of sports gaming with NBA 2K on Dreamcast. I was in college dorms at the time and I'd bet $5 per game against everybody on my floor! Being a life long Lakers fan, I still had to pick them. They were one of the worst rated team for some reason. No performance updates like today. Lakers won that year too! Kobe, Shaq, Horry, Harper, Glen Rice, Fox, why the low rating?

I remember when every player had the same jumpshot. The only players that had different shots were Tayshaun Prince with his lefty and Shaq's hook shot.

College Hoops 2k8 anyone?

Re: Anybody else get a kick out of playing old sports games?

yo. MVP baseball totally IS still the greatest baseball game made to date. It's crazy how many people agree. NFL 2K5 with T.O on the cover, also ahead of it's time.

and I was addicted to College Hoops. 2K5-2K8. I played that Dynasty mode sh*t so much. They were great games, still pissed they stopped making them. Think how perfect that would work with MyCareer.... damn.

also NFL Street 2 I think had that awesome "Own the City" myplayer type mode.....that sh*t was pretty awesome.

also I'll never forget NHL 2000

Re: Anybody else get a kick out of playing old sports games?

I actually played NBA Action 98 on my PC several months ago. It's sitting on my desktop, ready to run at any time.

If not for the old graphics (that were already bad for back then) and the fact that I have to play it with a keyboard, I'd play it on a daily basis. Maybe the most sim game back then (I think there is even off-ball control) - less flash and gimmicks than other games back then. Signature moves for several players...and I think it was made by VC, wasn't it?

Wow, really? I never got into sports games other than Live and NBA Give and Go on the SNES prior to Dreamcast. Didn't know VC made a game before 2K series. Konami used to make good sports games, I really think Winning series would be better today if EA didn't monopolize the FIFA license. Thank goodness they don't have NBA license and that they lost All-Star Weekend license starting this year.

Re: Anybody else get a kick out of playing old sports games?

It's crazy how far we've have come those where the good old days no roster updates no patches and everybody was happy...I was just playing double dribble other day and I was like wow!! Can't belive I use to play that til my eyes burned..another one I use to go sick on was bulls vs blazers..
