[tabarnes19_SDS]

Big snub in my opinion is High Heat 2003. Game was way ahead of it's time.

If you have to ask you'll never know. 2k8 was a great year for 2k as all of the games were spectacular.

This is a competition for the title of the best sports game ever, we could make it 69 teams and just pretend that Kelly Slater Surfing had a chance and eliminate them in some sort of play-in round, but then you'd be considering Kelly Slater Surfing one of the 69 greatest sports games of all time, and that's just wrong. Why not throw the cricket game on the list? Sure its not the best game by any stretch of imagination but its played elsewhere so it deserves a shot. Lets give some high school a spot in the NCAA tourney this March, or at least mention the school, they play basketball too though not nearly on the level of the NCAA.

I was using KSS as an example, and you never know, some people might consider it to be one of the greatest games made. I thought it was a decent attempt.

In my opinion, this tournament needs to be shared/linked on other gaming sites because titles like Shane Warne Cricket - the best cricket game ever made, and Jonah Lomu Rugby - the best rugby game ever made, would get decent votes. And like NFL 2K5, these titles are still being played...

I'm sorta wavering between CHoops 2K8 and NFL 2K5. For a minute, I was about to open up a rant over snubbing Coach K, but I saw that I just overlooked that one. I would've figured that NBA Live 95 could have made the list. But with a few exceptions, it's hard to argue over what's presented here.

Suntan, you are so right. Why they went against the direction they took for '07 is beyond me.
