No. You can control the path of the ball in flight. by Ice Cream Jonsey 05/07/2013, 10:12pm PDT
The guy doing the best sports game thing is going to fuck it up beyond belief. I mean, if a Tiger Woods game is a dollar, yes. You will have a dollar's worth of fun. But they aren't good games.

Here you go, the best sports games ever.

- I consider racing and martial arts to be their own genres. I am not including the pinball games NBA Fastbreak or No Good Gofers because I realize that stuff that I like doesn't make an impartial list.
- I have heard nothing but good things about NHL Eastside Hockey Manager, just never tried it.
- I am not including futuristic shit like Speedball or Discs of Tron. Also, Punch-Out! is a puzzle game.
- There is at least one game I played a lot of that I am forgetting, but whatever
- This list will be a million times more accurate than anyone else's, so just undress and enjoy this.
- At some point, when a developer releases more than six shitty games I will confess to just giving up.
- I consult my brother each year for how terrible a certain unnamed football franchise has become because he can't help himself and buys it anyway.

Fuck ESPN for making me do that. I was just kidding about #25, it probably doesn't hold up. #25 is actually Super NFL Football for the Intellivision. I know some people like RBI Baseball, but everyone looked like a fat retard and every version I ever played lacked the Blue Jays, so fuck that shitty franchise. RBI Baseball, I me-- well, both franchises.
