Not sure if I can make tonites show, but here is my list.

Best

MVP 2005-One of the best baseball games I have ever played. Hitting, pitching, field, and everything else was done very well. I loved the picthing interface and the hitting seems easy at first, but later you uncover a whole new depth to it. Owners mode was also pretty cool, especially when you finally got all of that damn stadium built after simming 5 seasons. It's a shame that we won't be seeing this game anymore.

WWE Day of Reckoning 2-Yeah wrestling sucks, but this game does not. This is probably as close as you can get to WWF No Mercy for N64, which imo is the best wrestling game. The Gamecube gave this game really nice and smooth graphics. Create-a-Wrestler is amazing, there are so many options from back hair to controlling a light during your entrace. The pace of the game is also alot more slower, which makes for alot more realistic play, unlike Smackdown! for PS2.

Decent

Madden 06- Yeah I know everyone hates Madden, but this game isn't horrible. I've recently gotten back to playing this online and it's been fun. The vision cone is a cool idea, but the many flaws and glitches in this game bring it down. Damn NFL exclusive liscence.

Worst:

NBA Street V3- I don't even know why I bought this game. The first 2 streets were pretty cool, but this one is boring. The trick stick thing from Live is in here and that adds a little depth, but that's about it. After playing it for about a week, I stopped.

Best: WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2006.

A solid wrestling that had a story and voice acting with a solid fighting engine. Though I no longer watch the sow I really liked the game.

NCAA 2006 and NHL 2K6 are both alright sports games, but I think I'd like them better if I didn't suck so much at them.

I forgot about NCAA 06. That was a good game too.

[Stonecoldfreak1]

wrestlemania 21 was a pretty big dissapointment.

Best -

Blitz: The League

only sports game I played too.

NHL 2K6 > NHL 06 (XBOX and PS2)
Why is sony the only NHL game on PSP?
Why did the NHLPA reach an agreement without talking to the NHL first?
Are things between the NHLPA and NHL going to get even worse now than before the strike? I didn't buy any NHL games last year because of the strike.
