I have to admit, seeing CH at 94 votes when it had 30-ish less in the last round makes me wonder. Either a lot of people suddenly got interested in this tournament or....

Agreed... I think the so called "fanbois" are double dipping their votes.

I don't know if it's that, but...I think I know what's going on now. Check the linkbacks at the bottom of the page.

Nothing we can do, really...it's obviously a bunch of people from the 2ksports board coming over here to vote.

Looks like a 2k final...and I'll be going with the football game again.

Hmmm...I never noticed that at the bottom of the page. Well, I guess my American Idol comparison was not too far fetched after all.

Then by all means, all TSB supporters, go to the TSB forums and sites Ive heard about on this thread and campaign. I, for one, wont hold it against anybody.

It's ok, 2k sports is the greatest video game company ever. That's why they never release games with freezing bugs and are the most stable video game company in history. I still don't understand why people love 2k sports so much. Honestly two 2k games in the finals? This company is that good? Guys, there's a reason there's no college hoops and there's a reason 2k is going to get bought out/taken over/whatever soon. The games as a whole aren't that great or successful. I've said it a hundred times, if there was a 2k6 it would be hailed as the greatest football game of all time. I mean 2k fanboys wanted another football game, got all pro and that one sunk as well, you can't claim it is a great game if it doesn't make money. Video games are business and you can't claim it's a great game if it isn't generating revenue.

No one's voting for 2k as the greatest company ever. They have made some great games, though.

That's exactly what it is, good eye bcruise!

Oh yeah, and Tecmo Super Bowl for the win!

Wow! Tough call. I mean, if I invite some of my old HS/College buddies over...TSB will get more PT because of its pick up and play/accessibility/fun factor. But when I'm at home with a half hour to spare, I'll play CH2K8. No doubt, TSB has stood the test of time, it's still a blast to play, and relatively speaking, no I don't think 2K8 will have the same legs 10, much less 20 years from now. But for tournament purposes, IMO I see this as a desert island scenario, only TSB or CH2K8...I choose 2K8 for shear depth, fun factor, customizing options, and various modes of play.

BETTER THAN MARCH MADNESS, AND ESPECIALLY BETTER THAN MADDEN!!!

Taken directly from one of the linkbacks.

That's pretty tacky that another site is 'stuffing the ballot box' so to speak on a poll on a completely different site.

Oh well, if it makes them sleep better to know that a game that they had no hand in the development of will win an opinion poll on a random website, then go for it I guess.
