2004 to 2005 was pretty amazing and consider it's the last time we had 2 NFL Games to choose from. When we had Live as basketball game too and 2 great nba games back then when Live was at least competitive and fun as heck. Don't forget we had NFL Blitz too!

2008 is the answer, at the very least the end of the peak.

APF 2k8
College Hoops 2k8
Madden 08
NBA 2k8
MLB The Show 08

Arguments can be made all are best in particular genre or series.

I'll have to agree mostly with*Elliott Jenkins on 2004

I was 7 years old in 2004 and just beginning to fully immerse myself in video games.

I remember that 2K5 commercial with Terrell Owens:

and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I wound up getting that game for my birthday and then getting Madden 05 shortly thereafter. Y'all already know how I feel about the 2K vs. Madden debate, but having both games to play was great.

There was also MVP Baseball 2004 which had arguably one of the best soundtracks in sports gaming that year. Then there was ESPN NHL Hockey with Jeremy Roenick on the cover.

Man, I had fun as a kid. I miss the competition/diversity in the market.
