What sports game are you playing?

[Aramonde]

you missed the joke(s)

That was a spygate joke right?

[ExedExes]

dammit.

The first part I thought was a joke, but also kind of true. Meaning, I figured you were saying the 07/08 Pats were kickass. Which they seem to be in this game. Randy Moss is insane.

The second part... went over my head.

Damn. It's official, we need a new commissioner in this thread

Since we're talking Tennis, I always liked Activision's tennis on the 2600. Also the Nintendo tennis on the Game Boy.

You all really need to check out Sports Jam on the Dreamcast too. Arcade style sports mini games!

11-0 in Madden 08.

The Eagles gave me the best run for my money this season, holding me close for the first half but I eventually rose to 41-17 thanks to a lot of interceptions that may or may not have been attributed to sloppy play in the rain.

If you played at higher difficulties you'd find the added battery dodging in Philly makes for a tough road game.

I was never a fan of Sports Jam. The announcer is scary looking. I did like Capcom Sports Jam though:

It is a 3 in 1 CPS2 game featuring Tennis, Basketball, and real Football. It is a whole mess of a lot of fun - though not as much fun as Super Dodgeball.

Did you get the Santa half time Easter Egg when playing in Philly? You should be around X-mas time in the game.

My wife's boss came over and we had some Blades of Steel battles. Both the original game and Blades of Steel '99.

Blades of Steel '99 is......... not very good.

I'm playing Pong. This game is based on Tennis, so it counts as a sports game (I think).

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics (XB360)

I actually went out of my way for this since I had been traveling all last week during the holiday looking for games and deals, I really didn't have it in me to go and yet get another (this) game. But I get this bug to surprise both my wife and myself and try to play some random type of competitive game we both haven't played or are well versed at. Since it's winter time and we have played PS2 ESPN Olympic type games before, so I browsed what was on XB360 since it's in my living room for all of us to play and snagged it up.

First impressions was okay to good with a little potential, there's a bunch of events with some being cool and some being dull (mixed bag as far as taste goes). But there's a nice arcadey appeal and some simulation to the depth of controls and concepts. All and all the wifey and I enjoyed the first plays learning curve and looking forward to beating each others ass in a decent sports game in the near future (this weekend).
