Top 10: Sports Video Games Of All Time
Achieving realism in video games is always the ultimate task. Well, not so much -- how much realism is there in slaying Warcraft ogres or obliterating alien zombies (although, when the human race is called upon one day to fight these nasties, we’ll be ready).
Sports games, however, are the logical choice for pulling ever closer to the realism factor. But, the greatest sports video games are not always that -- and frankly, they don’t have to be.
The market is literally saturated with sports titles that range from the ultra-realistic to the incredibly impossible. When shove comes to tackle, some sports video games just rank higher than others on the legendary scale. Here are the 10 sports video games of all time that have made their mark on gaming culture; they’re rated based on the impact they had with fans and on the sports video game genre as a whole.

Nintendo hockey
Fat guys, skinny guys, and medium guys. Fat guys crush people. Bench clearing brawls. It was a great game for what it was.
Mutant League Football/Hockey? Tecmo Super Bowl? NFL 2k5(remember it was superior and only 20$ so EA took the easy way out) NFL Blitz/Street? Blades of Steel? NBA JAM? SEGA SPORTS 4 EVER! MARIO GOLF/TENNIS? EPIC FAIL!!!
MVP 05 was by far the best baseball game ever made, so pissed 2K sports took over. Blitz was a first of its kind and any year of NBA Live was great.
FIFA is nowhere to be seen?!
-oh well, fair enough...
this list is missing the greatest sports game of all time,however...
NFL BLITZ!!!!!
fun list but not too well thought out. lots of obvious misses. no racing games? and mlb 09 is nothing in comparison to MVP 05
Where's FIFA 98?? It should be in this list
This list must have been picked by people who started playing video games after the creation of the Playstation and Xbox. No way you comment on top ten sports video games with out mentioning Tecmo Superbowl. It's just ludicris.
no tecmo bowl? seriously?
Fail
This should be called American top 10 games of all time. No cricket or rugby games here zzzzzzzzz
Yeah... I don't know what's worse... The concept of this list, or the content... sports games might be the WORST genre in video games, and they still left out nba jam.
i'd stick this in askmen's top ten worst lists.
What do you think?
