I think MLB The Show is excellent. Everything else is pretty f***ing terrible, though.

NBA Jam was amazing in its simplicity and caused me to rage quit plenty of times due to the cheapness of the CPU.
Don't let it be in the fourth quarter and you hit a clutch three to give you the lead. The CPU would hurl up a Hail Mary half-court shot in which it would either tie it up or win it for them. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

I use to help out the Fight Night devs obtain phone numbers for some boxers who wanted to be in the game. EA kept destroying the budget (so it can be distributed towards Madden and FIFA and towards their MMA game)so they had to be frugal with their money in terms of signing guys. There was a ton of nightmare stories the developers told me over talent who thought they worth more. there's a reason Floyd Mayweather hasn't been in a fight night game after his career blew up, he was demanding tremendous money and wanting to be on the cover of Fight Night Round 4 (the one that featured Ali and Tyson). There was an obscure heavyweight who the devs ran into and they asked him to be in fight night. The boxer demanded to be on the cover of the game and wanted a million dollars. One of the weirder ones was them having to speak to 3 lawyers just to speak to one boxer.
I will say the funniest thing I've seen someone sign on to fight night was Butterbean. he did it for no money and just wanted a free copy of the game. And while most of my post sounds like doom and gloom, one of the main developers of the game was promoted as the lead developer to work on the fight night games and was generally one of the better developers to talk to. the FNR 4-Champions developers were nothing but pure class and generally tried to work in our wish lists. If EA Sports didn't cut the series under its legs (the poor sales justified that) we would've had a really great boxing series, as of this time there is no new game on the horizon, since signing boxers have became a nightmare since you have to sign them individually and not like UFC where everyone is under one banner

Also I'm a massive fan of Adam Rylands TEW series, I'm currently working on a mod that features Mickey Mouse vs Bug Bunny in a battle for wrestling supremacy. I'm seriously considering converting the mod to the MMA series which is also excellent

It's the same with Football & Fifa/Pro Evo, They're so damn bland
As goofy as they are I love "Sega Soccer Slam", "Mario strikers".
I'd love to see another "Game Company Football game", each franchise is a team.
And I'd love to see Wrestling go back to it's HCTP/No Mercy style, Sure 2k games are more realistic but I don't find them fun

Baseball Stars or Little League Baseball are still at the top of my list. Simple games that are fun.

You know what I would love? A revisionist career mode game.
Seriously, I an 42 years old. I would love to play a game where I play as the young man I could have been had I not had Bethlem's Myopathy. Get drafted in '96-97 with the appropriate rosters to play alongside.

This may sound weird, but the more realistic these games look and play, the less fun I have playing them. These games start to feel like a chore after awhile. Hell, Tecmo Bowl now is probably more fun to play than any recent Madden game. This is exactly how I feel about the WWE 2k series. It's more realistic than the series has been, probably ever, but it's not fun at all to me. I want arcade-style wrestling, dangit! Hate that everything has to be "realistic".

Know what I miss with football and basketball games? Being able to play a simple f***ing season. Why the hell did this get taken out of sports games? Just because it's all about playing online? Not everyone wants to do that

I must be in the minority but I love realistic sports games. I don't mind if there is variety, but I hate when there's unrealistic stuff in sim sports games.

I quite enjoyed Backbreaker because it was just a euphoria engine game where it looked like the players were killing each other

Catch-Up AI was incredibly frustrating.
In one of the old NCAA games I had a 21 point lead in the 4th and fumbled on THREE straight possessions. And the CPU of course scored three straight TDs.
That was only time I've ever been so mad I threw the controller against the wall (and it stopped working).

Hate that everything has to be "realistic". I like arcade racing games, not Turismo/Forza super realism. If I want to crash my car into a barricade and watch it flip 3 times and then carry on then that's what I want to see. Not that the internal engine bearing has come loose so my car won't move. DAYTONA!!!!

DAYTONA!!!! The problem is that Arcade-style racing started to slip in the OTHER direction. Yes, they eschewed realism, but started focusing on high-execution style skill mechanics in order to make them into One-on-One vs. games, fighting game style. Series like Initial D, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, and Battle Gear really pushed hard on that ethos. Initial D is especially infuriating with its strict braking points and shift points (and acceleration penalties if you brush a wall at all), even to be able to stand a chance against the CPU.

You can play a season in PES/Fifa no problem. Career Mode for Fifa, Master League for PES.

You can play a season in PES/Fifa no problem. Career Mode for Fifa, Master League for PES. I'm doing that now in FIFA 08. For some reason my first managerial run stopped working after 3 seasons. I get fired from ODD (Norwegian Tippeliagen) after 6 losses, so hook up with a Czech team. Take them to a title. Season 3 after the 3rd pre-season friendly, game stops loading. I know I've gone 10 seasons before. I took Bolton Wanderers from bottom of the 2nd league to Premier league AND Euro champions. Half the fun is taking half-star teams to the top of the world. (Playing as Swindon Town now.)
