Tournament Brackets

BlyGilmore · 03-11-2008, 01:15 PM

The seeds have been sorted and the brackets are ready! If you do some looking ahead there are some interesting matchups on the horizon.

Of course assuming there are no upsets.

As the tournament progresses, updated brackets will be uploaded.

Without further ado (all files in PDF format) ...

Tecmo Bowl/NBA 2k8 Division
MVP Baseball/Tecmo Super Bowl Division
Mike Tyson's Punchout/NFL 2k5 Division
RBI Baseball/Baseball Stars Division

Elite Eight

Nice. Well represented field. Would've liked to have seen World Series 2K3 and at least one title from the Sega Master System (always thought they had better sports games than NES). Earl Weaver Baseball was a heck of a game (probably would've been a #1 seed in my bracket), very dangerous oponent for Tecmo in the 2nd round.

Are arcade games included? NBA Jam, Golden Tee, and a couple others could make a case.

Seems to me like these should have been Division oriented by generation of game system. To compare N 8-bit games to current gen games is like a Div. I vs Div. III schools sparring off.

Great idea. But the region names could have been a bit more creative....like named after former Mods? Or perhaps named banned users?

BlyGilmore · 03-11-2008, 09:12 PM

well i don't know much about former mods or banned members here - sorry lol.

i tried to think of something snappy but couldn't. so instead of potentially looking dumb, i just went straight forward.

There are some good games in this but some of the true all-time greats are gone

Live 2000 (the one with Tim Duncan on the cover)
MLB the Show 08 (way better than 07)
Fight Night Round 3 (is there a better boxing game?)
UFC Dreamcast (yes, MMA is a real sport and this is a great game still is good if you play it today.)
Virtua Tennis (ok, tennis is as much a sport as golf)
WSB 2K3 (most would say that was the best baseball game to that point).

Does Nascar get any love?

BlyGilmore · 03-13-2008, 08:00 PM

no love for nascar i'm afraid.

i mentioned this in the other thread - as good as the Show apparently is this year we didn't include it just because it was too new. it'll no doubt be involved next year.

I just saw that College Hoops 2k8, the game that I consider the best sports game I've ever played, is a 14th seed in a bracket where, the most overrated game ever, Tecmo Bowl is a 1 seed.

I declare the selection committee clinically insane and will not give this contest anymore of my time and attention.

BlyGilmore · 03-14-2008, 10:42 AM

well who knows ... if CH 2k8 is the juggernaut you think it is it should have no problem trashing any and all games it comes up again.

after all the point of this tournament is to see which game really is the best of all time, not which game some people think is or some don't.
