This week on Operation Sports Fact or Fiction, one of our resident Canadians TD St. Matthew-Daniel is set to disagree -- at least we hope -- with old time OS'er Matthew Coe. Both guys will be discussing patches, NHL and NBA 2K10, as well as Ricky Rubio. Stay tuned for the results after the jump.

NBA 2k10 wont be the sportsgame of the year..NHL 10 looks amazing...Madden 10 is strong...NBA Live 10 is probably even better than 2k10 and 2k9 wasnt even that good.

FN4 deserves consideration for sports game of the year. Madden, NBA 2K, etc. are all re-hashes of the same game we've been playing for years, just slightly better graphics and minor upgrades in presentation or gameplay. I don't need to play them to know that.

FN4, on the other hand, is a fresh experience. The gameplay is significantly different from any other boxing game past or present, and the simulation aspect is the best ever in a boxing game. Boxershare and some of the online modes like World Championship are great new additions. The 2 year gap between games in the series helps the product seem a lot newer than it probably is, but I'm happy with the result and most who play it will be too. Cannot same the same for Madden.

Sports game of the year will be a tough one but IT WILL NOT BE NBA LIVE until they fix the stiffness of the players I'll stick with 2K. Hopefully Madden will take that crown and finally be worthy OF THE MADDENHOLIDAY!!!!

As far as sports game of the year, don't forget to add The Show into the mix.

Yea, I'd call it a little blasphemes to put NBA Live 10 in contention for "Sports game of the year."

The game definitely looks improved but it’s gonna take more then a year to turn that cluster**** of a series into the overall best sports game. Especially when you consider how good FIFA is and the strong comeback Madden is making.

I don't patches have allowed developers to be lazy, lack of competition does. Patches are a good thing, because the consumer is always gonna catch more than the QA team does. Not only that, but they help with resolving glitch goals and other issues in NHL.

NHL2K10 will definately be better than 2K9 by far I think, but not quite up to par with NHL10, which will be much better than NHL09 as well. I think it has at least one more year, but it should still be a great year for hockey gamers.

NBA2K10 will NOT win Sports Game Of The Year. Too much quality competition.

Logic, it didn't take that long for the NHL series to start racking up awards, so it's entirely possible for the NBA series to.
