In my opinion, it has to go to The Show. I have been having a great time with NBA2k9, but there were more problems in that game especially with the online (they have fixed them with the patch.)

Another contender was definitely NCAA Football. It was surprising because I'm not a big college fan to enjoy this game twice as much as Madden, but the AI difficulty issues bumps it down.

NHL09 should get much consideration. I hate hockey but its such a great game to play that my hatred goes out the window. Such fluidity in the control scheme and an amazing level of detail.

In the end my choice goes to The Show. There was just so much going on in that game it should cost 100 dollars to buy. Shout out to Nemesis for his sliders that made the game 100 times more amazing.

It was another great year for sports gaming.

Best Sports Game of the Year is a tough one for me.

At first instinct I would say The Show ... but NHL09 has done some awesome innovation with the CAP being brought online, and you can play on a virtual team with other players competing in tournaments and skilling up your CAP.

The controls and graphics are amazing as well. But I just dont play hockey.

The Show captures baseball so well, and really stood out amongst the competition, or lack there of. And graphically made a HUGE jump comparative to before.

Gonna be a hard choice.

wow, so many choices for so many of the categories. wow, football, hockey, baseball game of the year. dang, i cant wait to vote but i can't make up my mind with so many choices......

man i can hardly wait to see who wins all these two horse races. the one horse races are really killing me to know. the suspense is killing me..... at least there is no best golf game of the year.

there are some actual interesting categories, but the majority have absolutely nothing compelling about them.

How about a contest with some of these categories....maybe have a chance to win a copy of "the sports game of the year" or "game of the year" just a suggestion....

With MLB having a wider base as far as fans and gamers go, I have to say MLB over NHL. Period - FTW.
