Re: The Nostalgia Lists: Three Favorite Sports Games
Oh man NBA Showdown was so great. Bull vs Blazers and those types were nothing when they released Showdown with all the teams and full rosters.
We'd spend entire weekends having 8 man tournaments with elimination brackets and everything. When we were done we'd have awards for things like MVP, Sixth Man, etc. So much fun.
If I had to post a Top 3 It would be:
1) NBA Live 95 - I remember they didn't include the rookies but if you entered in their last name in Create a Player they would instantly have all their information and appearance ready to go. Remember to this day doing it for Corliss Williamson, lol.
2) NHL Faceoff 97. Was a big NHL fan and loved EA's series but there was something about Faceoff that kept my brother, dad, and I playing for an entire year of it. My dad was pretty inept at that game so I would be the Senators (back when they were dreadful) and he was the East All Stars. We would play with line changes but I had to keep my checking line in...for the entire game! We had some close battles I tell ya!
3) NBA Showdown
