Great show guys.

My list mirrors Rich Grisham's in many ways. Limited time and had to cut out some titles. NHL just dropped way off the radar last couple of years. Boring.

At the top is Pro Evo and NBA 2K... Just tons of individuality with both those games. Each player and team feels and plays differently. It can simply be felt. Other games (like NHL and Madden) feel generic.
