I always liked Madden for N64. Or Blades of Steel (because you could fight in it)

the controller was the best for it, graphics were great for the day. I still consider Goldeneye multiplayer a sport too on N64 too (still have friends over once a month to mess them up)

Well, I am making a rule that Mario Kart games are excluded from this. They're in a league of their own.

Is this the one where fighting becomes 2D and you fight with hit bars and stuff? If so I loved that game on the Genesis.

I have a NES emulator on my phone for the express purpose of playing bases loaded.

Named the Sit & Swear by my college roommates, because of my behavior while playing this very game. Pissed me off SO bad...

Hahaha. I was usually the one instigating others when playing this.

Oh god... between BL and BL2, I wasted SOOOOO much time. I played entire seasons and tracked my own stats (graph paper makeshift scorecards, for every game)

I think NHL 95 is a better game. The gameplay is equally good, but the speed is a lot faster, and you can still fight in the game.

Obligatory 'Tecmo bowl'

With that out of the way, NFL2k5 is the real answer. That game was so great

That one wasn't so good on NES. The layout of the tracks and top-down view really was designed for the arcade cabinets with the infinitely-spinning steering wheels, à la Super Sprint & Championship Sprint.

On the other hand, Super Off Road: The Baja was awesome on the SNES:

This.

As far as I am concerned this is the only sports video game worth anything. Followed a good distance by NBA Jam.

I confess I only ever played the arcade version (and spun the wheel wildly every time I walked past)

I have always wanted one of those cabinets. One day.

I'm going to with BaseWars. Behod!

BaseWars, whats that? I imagine you asking... I'll let wikipedia sum it up:
"While maintaining basic baseball elements of pitching , batting , fielding , and base running , Base Wars adds a fighting element to the game featuring four robot classes; a traditional cyborg that looks more like an android , a tank, a flybot, and lastly a motorcycle. A player's robots can be upgraded with new and advanced weaponry and repaired with money earned for game wins during tournaments."

Also, fights where common: "any close put-out or force-out results in a battle." Because robot
