Does Blitzball count as a sports game, cause I played that a crazy amount. I do miss creating a NFL team and pretty much being a manager for 30 seasons in old Madden games.

Efficiency is a thing, and also playoff performance. Even with his not great defense his impact overall is much greater. Are you a sixers fan? I am surprised if any of them would even still try to argue this. Embiid is weak as fuck in the playoffs, and I used to root for him the most as far as big men in the league a few years ago.
NCAA Football 2006 is my favorite
Super Mega Baseball 4 has great customization
SSX Tricky is a classic
Skate 3 is great
Backyard Soccer was my childhood jam I can't figure out basketball for the life of me.
I want to play the new NHL, because of the pressure system and actual thought being put in to what it feels like to actually PLAY ice hockey. They finally asked someone who has actually played hockey "what does it actually feel like to play in terms of pace and what is at stake and your motivations during a shift" and tried to implement some new features that emulate that.
You are supposed to keep the other team in their zone and get them tired, then change your players and have fresh guys holding the zone and tiring out the defense and force mistakes.
That is why the 2nd period is different, because the bench is farther away. You don't know this stuff because you have never actually been on the ice playing ice hockey in a game. Not just pick up fucking around. What it actually feels like to play.
I'm waiting for it to go on sale. Last one I tried was 16 and that was mediocre.
It's easier to score when you change the angle of the puck mid-air in front of the goalie. This is intentional and Pavelski can do this in-game with a guy cross-checking him and trying to prevent him from doing exactly this. You think you could just chop his stick or slash it, which is legal. They plan screens and plays like this to happen on the fly with perfect timing as he skates past the net, because if he just stands there, it's more difficult to do this while being shoved.
Hockey takes way more skill than any other major team sport. It's not very popular because it is prohibitively expensive to play. I'm lucky I got to play growing up so I know how to skate and it's fun as fuck. You can move 10 miles per hour without moving your feet, and change directions and shit. Skating and you have a stick? All other sports are so fucking lame.
You take your skateboard and repeatedly smash your head in with it until it breaks and you no longer have a board because skateboarding is for homosexuals.
You need to wear kneepads and elbow pads and practice at free skate, and if you can pay someone to coach you, you can get really good very quickly. I took private lessons once or twice per week for a while to get started. You need to lose the fear of falling down, or you will be garbage.
Simple things:
You squat like you are sitting in a chair at almost all times. In still photos of NHL players turning or stopping, they are doing squats.
It's similar to skiing, the whole "pizza french fries" works with ice skating as well.
Start with one hand ready to catch you on the wall, and practice using one skate to just shave the ice to slow yourself down.
Don't expect to use both feet to "hockey stop" any time soon.
A skate blade is concave with two edges. There is an inside edge and an outside edge.
Interesting thing you might not know: Some people are better at backwards skating than forwards. Backwards comes much more naturally to me. I played goalie when I played serious hockey for 10 years. Goalies are usually the best skaters on the team, because they need to be able to do everything everyone else can do, plus the crazy hard shit it takes years to learn to do as a goalie sliding around on your knees.
bro i've been skating at a local rink and im tired of being a noob. how do i get good at skating?
Emphasizing wearing elbow and knee pads, and if you aren't athletic, you could die if you skip the helmet. I trained in martial arts, so I know how to fall, but holy fucking shit an unathletic person dies every year ice skating because there is absolutely no resistance when you fall. You do not get any grip when you put your but down. You slide out and crack your bone skull on rock hard ice.
Wear a helmet. I did martial arts for 10+ years, so I didn't wear one, but I'm sure there are like 100 videos on the internet of casuals dying ice skating and cracking the back of their head on the ice.
You use your toes and heels in advanced skating. This is because that is how you get grip. The downside is something happens called a "toe pick" which happens to the best skaters in the world, live, in NHL games.
The skate toe can catch a rut in the ice, because it is not perfectly smooth as people cut into it repeatedly. This results in the skate completely planting in a spot and sending you flying/slipping/tearing a ligament/whatever happens depending on you you react to that happening at full speed.
Wear a helmet. You will have fear and fear will stop you from committing to the "hockey stop" and you will never get good at it and be able to stop on a dime and spray girls with snow and look like a total asshole but they secretly got wet pussy because girls love hockey players.

One last thing, I say I didn't wear a helmet, because I was already experienced, I was taking lessons to learn advanced skating, that's why I was not wearing a helmet as a 13 year old who had to be cool.
I always wear a full cage when I play hockey. It is idiotic to not wear a cage when you are not being paid to play.
NFL was one of my most beloved pastimes but I can't really watch it anymore. I don't even care about my team. The only thing that keeps me going is seeing Josh Allen fail. I need him to be as miserable as he has made me. Just thinking about him makes me want to slit my wrists.
Watch college football my guy, that's where the soul of the sport still resides.
And I don't mean Alabama, Georgia football factory shit, go watch some smaller conference ball or even FCS for kino. XFL is getting there too.
Great take. High tier CFB is absolute fucking garbage where low iq retards talk about which team with 5 star 3rd stringers will beat the other team with 5 star 3rd stringers. I'd add that lower tier p5 games/regional rivalries of lower tier p5 teams are awesome too tho.
Sadly the NFL's intentional butchering of the sport into gay dumpoffball in attempt to score more points with the goal of drawing in casual fan eyeballs has begun to seep into college too.
Watch college football, the XFL, or CFL. I stopped giving a shit about NFL a long time ago.
The CFL actually seems pretty soulful since a lot of the teams have long histories, maybe I should check it out.
I'm a Toronto fan and my dad is a Winepeg fan, so we're at odds in a friendly manner during games. But there's a lot of solid teams and lovable losers too. we're both American with no ties to Canada except for football and hockey
Not actively, no. The newest one I've played was THPS3 I guess. >and why?
I don't give a shit about real life sports. If you're making a sports game then it should be a game first and foremost.
>NFL 2k2 also has some unlockable Sega characters for some reason
I think it still can't beat Mario, Luigi and Peach being in NBA Street 2 where they're slapped onto a pre-existing mocap so it looks super fucking dinky.
This is so cool. I think these were in all the 2k football games up to 2k5, which sucks since 2k5 is the best one. But Sega used to own visual concepts, hence their inclusion as an easter egg.
>Ryo Hazuki is an unbelievably athletic athlete but his mind seems to be focused on something else. There are times where it feels like he is waiting for someone to push the right input on where he should go. Has an unhealthy obsession with wasting time and collecting toys.
NBA Jam on Genesis or NBA Street V3 (Just for Mario and Luigi) on Gamecube or Vol. 2 for basketball games.
american football games I go back to often is NFL Blitz on N64 or NFL Street 2 on Gamecube
You don’t know what you’re talking about and are clearly a a fat sports casual that only plays arcade games because of bing bing wahoo easy to understand fisher price shit. 2k gets a bad wrap over micro transactions for mexicans that play exclusively online. Single player franchise modes have top tier customization and gameplay unhindered by any of this.
>Do you play any sports videogames?
In 2023? Lmao fuck no. 2K, FM and FIFA were alright in the late 00s but they've been dogshit for more than a decade.
I swear people hate Lebron for no reason. He faced more difficult opponents than Kobe and other greats. Kobe had Shaq carrying him and was a ball hog who didn't pass. Meanwhile Lebron was a TEAM player who mastered being a complete basketball player.
Kobe had the israelites cheat for him for basically all of his championships, Lebron at the very least didn't cheat but he's a homosexual who won nothing until he had a superteam
He's a whiney baby, when he doesn't have to be. And he's constantly lying to make himself seem cooler/smarter. But that doesn't take away from the fact that he's a freight train on the court.
Jokic is beating the Lakers because Lebron is nearly 40 yrs. old now. And if you whine about superteams or hall of famers, Lebron James beat the statistically deadliest superteam ever, 73-9 warriors. And he destroyed more Hall of Famers than anyone else in NBA history.
It's not, the refs are just retards like in all sports. If it was rigged NBA would be making profitable teams and players win more but that's not the case.

Never said every year. You literally have to make shit up for your garbage argument. If NBA was rigged everything would be for profits and clearly that is not the case. For fuck's sake Lakers just lost to the Rockets in the most humiliating way possible. That has the most iconic player in the franchise and NBA wouldn't allow that team's reputation to sink that low if they really were all about money. This rigged conspiracy theory makes no fucking sense.

2000 WCF G7 - Rigged for the Lakers in the 4th quarter so the Blazers and Pacers (Two small markets) didn't make the finals
2001 ECF G5-7 - Rigged for the Philadelphia 76ers, so face of the league Allen Iverson makes the finals against Media darling LA Lakers
2002 WCF G6 - Rigged for Lakers against small market Sacramento Kings to prevent a Nets vs Kings series (Two small markets)
2003 Playoffs - Not rigged, 76ers were on the verge of making the finals again but choked since Iverson blew two free throws. Spurs beat Nets
2004 Playoffs - Not Rigged, Lakers stack the odds with a super-god team, still lose to the Detroit Pistons as Kobrick tanks the Lakers by shooting bricks
2005 Playoffs - Not Rigged, Once again a small market San Antonio Spurs team wins against the Detroit Pistons
2006 Finals - Rigged, NBA tries to replicate Kobe and Shaq in Miami with Wade, Dirk is robbed of a title and the FBI investigates and rules that it was rigged, Mark Cuban decides not to go through with his charges as it would sink the league
2007 ECF - Rigged, NBA actively gets Lebron to the finals with a dogshit Cavs team simply so they avoid another Pistons - Spurs finals. Spurs sweep anyway
2008 Playoffs - Not Rigged, Celtics beat the Lakers
2009 Playoffs - Averted - League tries all year to rig games for Cleveland so they get a Lebron vs Kobe finals, Dwight gets pissed and rapes the Cavaliers in the ECF. Kobe wins a easy championship without cheating
2010 Finals G7 - Rigged for the Lakers, Kobe shoots horribly from the field, Lakers are down double digits, but get gifted a insane amount of free throws in the 4th quarter

Their main advertisement for the opening game of the season didn't even have the FMVP because he's so unmarketable. Clearly they don't like the fat white boy.

By who? Everyone who watched basketball for at least a decade before Currchucking absolutely hated the style of basketball. Even Ganker was firmly rooting for LeBron for the first time ever just because people couldn't stand memecchucking. NBA itself did nothing of the sort. The entire NBA embraced it and now the whole league plays that way.

The only time the NBA wasn't rigged was the 1960s and 1970s. israelites owned the league from the 80s onwards, while before it was owned by mostly whites and had almost all white players. Which is why the israelites in the media are so hellbent on erasing that period from history. Michael Jordan was never good enough to accomplish anything for the entire 80s, despite his massive israeli sneaker campaign so the NBA changed rules so he could win and immedietely they began propagated him as the GOAT

Big market teams are always profitable regardless. The league wants to maintain some semblance of parity otherwise it would look even more obvious than what it already is. Tim Donahue, 85 frozen envelop draft, cavs winning 3 lotteries to get lebron back, etc. were not isolated incidents.

I got redpilled hard after the Chris Paul veto and Rose going to Chicago draft
Cleveland and Bulls lottery made me think it's rigged as fuck too and I'm from Chicago, but as for the Chris Paul trade, the NBA was essentially the interim owner of the Pelicans(Hornets?) at the time, that is why they stopped the trade.
I don’t consider the 73 win warriors team a super team. They were all drafted and developed by the same organization together. The addition of KD made them a super team the following year.
Lebron still beat statistically the most impressive team in the NBA ever. I don't really consider KD and Steph better than Lebron because we all know what happens when they play against Lebron without each other. Lebron beat and faced the toughest competition in the sport's history.
im sure every sport is fixed but holy shit this guy needs to go >travelling is okay if lebron is about to dunk it or do a lay up >literal tackling is okay if lebron does it >throwing yourself at the floor when nobodys touched you is okay if lebron does it
curry may be boring but at least hes not a colossal fucking homosexual
Yeah, it’s the only sports game worth playing, unless you’re some kind of fifa obsessed 3rd worlder. Back in the day, NFL blitz was pretty awesome on N64.
What is there to know? >50% boost on [some shit] >calculate what the boosted odds are for all the mainlines >check the other books for the best price on the other side >??? >literally profit
Stick to the mainlines so the books don’t drop your limits. A guy placing a $37.41 bet on the winner is a bit strange, a guy betting that much an a player’s combined assists and rebounds for the second quarter is clearly trying to game the system
there was some ncaa football game on gamecube that I used to fucking destroy my dad in. My dad has always been a God of football games so Idk what the fuck was going on, if it was just college rules or if the game was fuckin broken, I remember he took some at the time prime ucla team and I just picked whatever teams mascot looked the coolest and I fucking ran through him doing stupid fucking hail mary fakes into running the ball 50-60 yards down the field with the fuckin quarterback

I had hope for the popular sport games when NHL 09 had a multiplayer mode with every player on the ice being me and my friend and a bunch of canucks but those games just turned into stat gambling trash.
Lebron is the best athlete alive. Somehow 6'9 and can chase you down from the other end of the court to block your layup. Somehow moves and plays like a point guard despite his size. Can shoot 3s. Monster rebounder. Great assists, great passer. The most complete athlete of our generation.

The best player in the league is white you retard. Teams would draft a literal trashcan if it meant that they were talented.
Look up the stats leaders charts. Embiid is dominating on offense and he gets more blocks per game than the overrated whtie fluke.
Overrated white fluke? That white “fluke” is the reigning champion. Embiid hasn’t even made it to the ECF yet.

Efficiency is a thing, and also playoff performance. Even with his not great defense his impact overall is much greater. Are you a sixers fan?

It's easier to score when you change the angle of the puck mid-air in front of the goalie. This is intentional and Pavelski can do this in-game with a guy cross-checking him and trying to prevent him from doing exactly this.

They plan screens and plays like this to happen on the fly with perfect timing as he skates past the net, because if he just stands there, it's more difficult to do this while being shoved.

Wear a helmet. I did martial arts for 10+ years, so I didn't wear one, but I'm sure there are like 100 videos on the internet of casuals dying ice skating and cracking the back of their head on the ice.
You use your toes and heels in advanced skating. This is because that is how you get grip. The downside is something happens called a "toe pick" which happens to the best skaters in the world, live, in NHL games.
The skate toe can catch a rut in the ice, because it is not perfectly smooth as people cut into it repeatedly. This results in the skate completely planting in a spot and sending you flying/slipping/tearing a ligament/whatever happens depending on you you react to that happening at full speed.
Wear a helmet. You will have fear and fear will stop you from committing to the "hockey stop" and you will never get good at it and be able to stop on a dime and spray girls with snow and look like a total asshole but they secretly got wet pussy because girls love hockey players.
One last thing, I say I didn't wear a helmet, because I was already experienced, I was taking lessons to learn advanced skating, that's why I was not wearing a helmet as a 13 year old who had to be cool.
I always wear a full cage when I play hockey. It is idiotic to not wear a cage when you are not being paid to play.
I want him back so bad, I'm in physical pain.
I like nba2k

These are moreso motorsports, but I like playing driving games like dirt rally 2.0 or Assetto Corsa
NFL was one of my most beloved pastimes but I can't really watch it anymore. I don't even care about my team. The only thing that keeps me going is seeing Josh Allen fail. I need him to be as miserable as he has made me. Just thinking about him makes me want to slit my wrists.
Can't tell if you're a Bills fan or a Pats fan
He's clearly a Bill's fan that thought Allen was the one and then gave up when Allen kept disappointing him.
I'm a giants fan. I just hate him so much that I don't even care that my team is garbage. I just need him to fail.
Watch college football my guy, that's where the soul of the sport still resides.
And I don't mean Alabama, Georgia football factory shit, go watch some smaller conference ball or even FCS for kino. XFL is getting there too.
?si=rI6Typ37sEq4Qe_B&t=116
kek I've never heard American announcers that excited before. Is it just a college football thing?
absolutely, the passion is there for college football. I also miss my local Arena Football team myself, same passion. Anyway, here's an XFL clip.
Great take. High tier CFB is absolute fucking garbage where low iq retards talk about which team with 5 star 3rd stringers will beat the other team with 5 star 3rd stringers. I'd add that lower tier p5 games/regional rivalries of lower tier p5 teams are awesome too tho.
Sadly the NFL's intentional butchering of the sport into gay dumpoffball in attempt to score more points with the goal of drawing in casual fan eyeballs has begun to seep into college too.
The CFL actually seems pretty soulful since a lot of the teams have long histories, maybe I should check it out.
Canadian here. The other good part is that nobody really cares about football here, so you can get good CFL tickets for like $20.
I'm a Toronto fan and my dad is a Winepeg fan, so we're at odds in a friendly manner during games. But there's a lot of solid teams and lovable losers too.
we're both American with no ties to Canada except for football and hockey
Watch college football, the XFL, or CFL. I stopped giving a shit about NFL a long time ago.
Breaks my heart that arcade style sports and racing games are basically dead. I don't give a fuck about greedy simulation shit.
Little bitch babby can’t wrap his head around sports simulators. Very sad.

Skateboarding and fake wrestling aren’t sports
Correct, they're better and have better vidya.
Not actively, no. The newest one I've played was THPS3 I guess.
>and why?
I don't give a shit about real life sports. If you're making a sports game then it should be a game first and foremost.
NBA Jam is the greatest Sports game of all time, and the intro to this review of it is pretty damn great.
?si=u5eNo3YJ6VZu6N6p
NFL Blitz is also great and was a mainstay at parties of mine back in the day.
NBA Street Vol 2 is right up there and the last great sports game.
?si=zAdJQhdEWu3_-uPE
And I love that Tecmo Bowl still gets updates yearly to this day.

Tony Hawk of course is one of the greatest franchise of all time, not just for sports.
NFL 2k2 also has some unlockable Sega characters for some reason
>NFL 2k2 also has some unlockable Sega characters for some reason
I think it still can't beat Mario, Luigi and Peach being in NBA Street 2 where they're slapped onto a pre-existing mocap so it looks super fucking dinky.
?feature=shared&t=123
This is so cool. I think these were in all the 2k football games up to 2k5, which sucks since 2k5 is the best one. But Sega used to own visual concepts, hence their inclusion as an easter egg.
>Ryo Hazuki is an unbelievably athletic athlete but his mind seems to be focused on something else. There are times where it feels like he is waiting for someone to push the right input on where he should go. Has an unhealthy obsession with wasting time and collecting toys.
Did we miss the boat for an x league game?
I read your post before realizing what your picture was and I thought you were talking about the Japanese football league for a second.
WWE FIFA RIP Hunter Call of the Wild
NBA 2K and The Show are the only sports games these days that actually feel like they improve from entry to entry as compared to Madden imo.
>nba 2k
>improving
NBA Jam on Genesis or NBA Street V3 (Just for Mario and Luigi) on Gamecube or Vol. 2 for basketball games.
american football games I go back to often is NFL Blitz on N64 or NFL Street 2 on Gamecube
>2K
>improving
You don’t know what you’re talking about and are clearly a a fat sports casual that only plays arcade games because of bing bing wahoo easy to understand fisher price shit. 2k gets a bad wrap over micro transactions for mexicans that play exclusively online. Single player franchise modes have top tier customization and gameplay unhindered by any of this.
>Do you play any sports videogames
I only like golf games, but only casual shit like mario golf or golf story.
>Do you play any sports videogames?
In 2023? Lmao fuck no. 2K, FM and FIFA were alright in the late 00s but they've been dogshit for more than a decade.
why did it have to be kobe and not lebron
I swear people hate Lebron for no reason. He faced more difficult opponents than Kobe and other greats. Kobe had Shaq carrying him and was a ball hog who didn't pass. Meanwhile Lebron was a TEAM player who mastered being a complete basketball player.
kobe is an evil fuck kys
so is shaq
Kobe had the israelites cheat for him for basically all of his championships, Lebron at the very least didn't cheat but he's a homosexual who won nothing until he had a superteam
He's a whiney baby, when he doesn't have to be. And he's constantly lying to make himself seem cooler/smarter. But that doesn't take away from the fact that he's a freight train on the court.
Jokic is unironically better than both of them and didn’t need a super team or a hall of fame sidekick to win.
Jokic is beating the Lakers because Lebron is nearly 40 yrs. old now. And if you whine about superteams or hall of famers, Lebron James beat the statistically deadliest superteam ever, 73-9 warriors. And he destroyed more Hall of Famers than anyone else in NBA history.
The nba is rigged retard
It's not, the refs are just retards like in all sports. If it was rigged NBA would be making profitable teams and players win more but that's not the case.
>Owned by a israelite
>Literally had the NBA investigated for cheating
>Got outed by numerous officials for being instructed to cheat
>Countless postseasons called out for rigging
You are literally retarded
If NBA was rigged they would have made the finals last season be Celtics vs Lakers. If NBA was rigged they wouldn't allow too much benching of star players to sell more tickets and get more ratings. This rigged shit doesn't make sense money-wise and NBA's main goal is money.
>uhmmm if it was actually rigged itd be celtics lakers every year
the israelites are better at being israelites than you are
Never said every year. You literally have to make shit up for your garbage argument. If NBA was rigged everything would be for profits and clearly that is not the case. For fuck's sake Lakers just lost to the Rockets in the most humiliating way possible. That has the most iconic player in the franchise and NBA wouldn't allow that team's reputation to sink that low if they really were all about money. This rigged conspiracy theory makes no fucking sense.
I doubt you were even alive for the amount of obvious rigging in the early 2000s NBA.
1998 Finals G6 - Rigged for Michael Jordan
1999 ECF - Rigged for the Knicks so the Pacers and Spurs (Two small market teams) didn't make the finals
2000 WCF G7 - Rigged for the Lakers in the 4th quarter so the Blazers and Pacers (Two small markets) didn't make the finals
2001 ECF G5-7 - Rigged for the Philadelphia 76ers, so face of the league Allen Iverson makes the finals against Media darling LA Lakers
2002 WCF G6 - Rigged for Lakers against small market Sacramento Kings to prevent a Nets vs Kings series (Two small markets)
2003 Playoffs - Not rigged, 76ers were on the verge of making the finals again but choked since Iverson blew two free throws. Spurs beat Nets
2004 Playoffs - Not Rigged, Lakers stack the odds with a super-god team, still lose to the Detroit Pistons as Kobrick tanks the Lakers by shooting bricks
2005 Playoffs - Not Rigged, Once again a small market San Antonio Spurs team wins against the Detroit Pistons
2006 Finals - Rigged, NBA tries to replicate Kobe and Shaq in Miami with Wade, Dirk is robbed of a title and the FBI investigates and rules that it was rigged, Mark Cuban decides not to go through with his charges as it would sink the league
2007 ECF - Rigged, NBA actively gets Lebron to the finals with a dogshit Cavs team simply so they avoid another Pistons - Spurs finals. Spurs sweep anyway
2008 Playoffs - Not Rigged, Celtics beat the Lakers
2009 Playoffs - Averted - League tries all year to rig games for Cleveland so they get a Lebron vs Kobe finals, Dwight gets pissed and rapes the Cavaliers in the ECF. Kobe wins a easy championship without cheating
2010 Finals G7 - Rigged for the Lakers, Kobe shoots horribly from the field, Lakers are down double digits, but get gifted a insane amount of free throws in the 4th quarter
>f it was rigged NBA would be making profitable teams and players win more but that's not the case.
2002 Lakers/Kings
The funniest part about this was the nba not releasing the other referees implicated in the donahue case. Guys like tony brothers are still in the league officiating.
its definitely rigged
>lebron gets to be goated year over year constantly breaking the rules
>this is fine
>curry has one great season shooting NASTY threes
>Uhmmm ya know we should really reconsider 3 pointers and maybe even move the line, this is really damaging to the sport
fuck off
Their main advertisement for the opening game of the season didn't even have the FMVP because he's so unmarketable. Clearly they don't like the fat white boy. Curry's last game had questionable officiating too despite him and his team being more profitable than the Nuggies. This rigged shit is not making sense no matter how you put it.
gets to be goated year over year constantly breaking the rules
What rules?
ya know we should really reconsider 3 pointers and maybe even move the line, this is really damaging to the sport
By who? Everyone who watched basketball for at least a decade before Currchucking absolutely hated the style of basketball. Even Ganker was firmly rooting for LeBron for the first time ever just because people couldn't stand memecchucking. NBA itself did nothing of the sort. The entire NBA embraced it and now the whole league plays that way.
The only time the NBA wasn't rigged was the 1960s and 1970s. israelites owned the league from the 80s onwards, while before it was owned by mostly whites and had almost all white players. Which is why the israelites in the media are so hellbent on erasing that period from history. Michael Jordan was never good enough to accomplish anything for the entire 80s, despite his massive israeli sneaker campaign so the NBA changed rules so he could win and immedietely they began propagated him as the GOAT
>If it was rigged NBA would be making profitable teams and players win more but that's not the case.
Big market teams are always profitable regardless. The league wants to maintain some semblance of parity otherwise it would look even more obvious than what it already is. Tim Donahue, 85 frozen envelop draft, cavs winning 3 lotteries to get lebron back, etc. were not isolated incidents.
I got redpilled hard after the Chris Paul veto and Rose going to Chicago draft
Cleveland and Bulls lottery made me think it's rigged as fuck too and I'm from Chicago, but as for the Chris Paul trade, the NBA was essentially the interim owner of the Pelicans(Hornets?) at the time, that is why they stopped the trade.
I don’t consider the 73 win warriors team a super team. They were all drafted and developed by the same organization together. The addition of KD made them a super team the following year.
Lebron still beat statistically the most impressive team in the NBA ever. I don't really consider KD and Steph better than Lebron because we all know what happens when they play against Lebron without each other. Lebron beat and faced the toughest competition in the sport's history.
>the warriors blew a 3-1 lead
>cant win with these cats
>team player
I just wanted to post this.
nagger.
Do racing games count?
Maybe f1 and nascar, some rally
im sure every sport is fixed but holy shit this guy needs to go
>travelling is okay if lebron is about to dunk it or do a lay up
>literal tackling is okay if lebron does it
>throwing yourself at the floor when nobodys touched you is okay if lebron does it
curry may be boring but at least hes not a colossal fucking homosexual
yeah because curry has drayboon and co do all the dirty work and set illegal screens every play
Nothing more feminine than a homosexual who shits on lebron and then sucks off curry.
It's always because of "LEBRON TOO STRONG AND AGGRESSIVE" and "CURRY A SOFT GRACEFUL BUTTERFLY".
Just say you're a kinsey 6er and save time
> ctrl + f “rocket league”
> nothing
shit taste, all of you
Yeah, it’s the only sports game worth playing, unless you’re some kind of fifa obsessed 3rd worlder. Back in the day, NFL blitz was pretty awesome on N64.
The whitest of white sports games.
We need to go whiter.
You can book a shoot company, so it counts as sports vidya.
I arbitrage bet on sports which is kind of like a puzzle game
>sports bet
I wish I knew soccer and football. I only know basketball so I can only bet on NBA.
What is there to know?
>50% boost on [some shit]
>calculate what the boosted odds are for all the mainlines
>check the other books for the best price on the other side
>???
>literally profit
Stick to the mainlines so the books don’t drop your limits. A guy placing a $37.41 bet on the winner is a bit strange, a guy betting that much an a player’s combined assists and rebounds for the second quarter is clearly trying to game the system
there was some ncaa football game on gamecube that I used to fucking destroy my dad in. My dad has always been a God of football games so Idk what the fuck was going on, if it was just college rules or if the game was fuckin broken, I remember he took some at the time prime ucla team and I just picked whatever teams mascot looked the coolest and I fucking ran through him doing stupid fucking hail mary fakes into running the ball 50-60 yards down the field with the fuckin quarterback
Are there even any good sports games released in the last decade?
MLB The Show and Everybody's Golf are consistently good sports vidya.
Boring as shit to watch, but really fun to play.
Everybody's Golf
Tecmo Bowl mods
Was the eBaseball game any good?
couldnt tell ya
super mega baseball 3 is the best baseball game to play these days unless youre an autistic The Show fag even though its been revealed that 2K basketball and The show are rigged with "dynamic"(see: cheating) AI
What about Super Mega Baseball 4? Is it a downgrade?

Blades of steel is still the best hockey game
I never cared for hockey but somehow had an NHL game for ps1 that I don't remember how I got it and it was fun as hell.
NHL 2001 on PS2 is the best hockey game I have played, behind Ice Hockey on NES.
I played a demo on like the ps3 that let you create a character you play a period of hockey. All I did was try and start fights for the fight mini game. I want to say it had a first person mode too.
God help me I want to stick my face in there.

It would be nice if there was more than one game released in english.
Greenbros, I feel like it's our year, will the boys once again make Uncle Larry proud?
You better hope porzingis holds up. Good luck.
Not that much but I occasionally play FIFA with my sister.
Used to pirate divegrass games and play a singleplayer career every year, until a few years ago.
It's sad that they get milked the way they do since I feel like they are decent games if it wasn't for the monitization.
Anyone like virtual leagues? Like someone using a video game to simulate a league using custom teams?

Thank god.
But muh splaysh brothers
How is this a Ganker sports thread without the Cole Train?
I'm old so I was around when everyone played all sorts of sports games and that was just what you did. Now I'm playing a little bit of the new forza, skate and tekken 7. I had hope for the popular sport games when NHL 09 had a multiplayer mode with every player on the ice being me and my friend and a bunch of canucks but those games just turned into stat gambling trash.
it's fun but fucking hell does the ai cheat as fuck
Lebron is the best athlete alive. Somehow 6'9 and can chase you down from the other end of the court to block your layup. Somehow moves and plays like a point guard despite his size. Can shoot 3s. Monster rebounder. Great assists, great passer. The most complete athlete of our generation.
