First Annual Best Sports Game Of All Time Tournament

[NYJets]

I'm surprised Madden 2004 made the list. IMO it was the worst Madden I've played except for the first one on 360 (06?).

I would take punch out for the simple fact that tecmo superbowl is in the 2nd bracket.

You're reading that wrong. Those are seedings. So, all the games listed under "1" are the 1 seeds, all the games listed under "2" are the 2nd seeds. We're going to set up a bracket that mimics the NCAA Tournament, so it's very possible that Punchout could meet Tecmo Bowl in the "Final Four" so to speak.

Well then to me the most dangerous #12 seed is Hardball III, that game was amazing and fully customizable. In fact I believe you could create your own stadium with some add-on pack, which was cool because you could change stadiums during the game. My friend would play his half of the inning with 200 foot fences while batting, and some lovely 600 foot fences while pitching. We were like 10-12, so cut us some cheesing slack.

That sounds right... you could play like at a sandlot, a school yard etc and you picked your team before you played?

Seems like there was a player called Dizzy.

If OOTP gets matched up against Madden or Coach K, I'm feeling a 13 vs 4 upset.

didn't it have some amazing commentary for the time? i remember one of those hard ball games having Al Michaels doing the play-by-play and doing an incredible job.
