The Argument for Tecmo Bowl
By TJdaSportsGuy
It started as an arcade game with fictional players in an arcade cabinet with a two-screen wide display. By the time the title found it's way to the NES, it had real players and some of the most fun, simple football action around at the time.

Looking around the net, people have updated and given new life to this franchise, 11 years after the last version was released. And Tecmo Bowl was the game that got it all started.

The Argument for College Hoops 2k8
By ChrisS
College Hoops 2k8 is simply the best college basketball game period. Coach K's College Basketball was fun, but it could never compare to everything College Hoops 2k8 has done.

College Hoops featured excellent gameplay, an incredible legacy mode and simply fun head to head action. Let's not also discount the fact that I believe the Legacy mode made College Hoops 2k8 what it was. There was nothing more fun at the time than to get some friends and play the tournament. I had countless hours using the UCLA Bruins and their star studded cast and cut down the nets many a times.

This game certainly captured the atmosphere, colors and pagentry that can only be found in college sports.

According to the Community

Tecmo Bowl...so simple to learn and so much fun. (JohnnytheSkin)

College Hoops 2K8 is the best, most complete, most fun sports game I have ever played. It gets my vote. (Studbucket)

My vote went to 2K8- Tecmo Super Bowl is the bread and butter of the TB series for me. If this was Super Bowl vs. 2k8, I would have voted for Tecmo.

College Hoops will be remembered as another series that was snuffed out too early just like MVP and High Heat.

Tecmo Bowl was nowhere near as good as Tecmo Super Bowl, I think some people get them confused.

College Hoops 2K8 is the best basketball game ever made. It gets my vote.

College Hoops, best basketball game ever.

I agree with you guys. TSB was the best Tecmo Bowl but the original Tecmo Bowl, while still novel, just wasn't near the game as it's younger brother. CH2k8 was incredible and gets my vote

Plenty of football games have been good NFL games. But no game has ever captured the feel of the college atmosphere like College Hoops.

Without a doubt, CHoops 2K8.
