    Baseball Stars

    wow, a lot of blasts from the past in this thread.
    Was Baseball Stars the one where you could charge the mound?!? :P


    No. That was Bases Loaded

    Baseball Stars was the one where you could create a team, name players, get money, power up players and boost attendance, buy free agents, make trades, and play in a league with teams such as Ghastly Monsters, American Dreams, World Powers, Lovely Ladies, SNK Crushers, Japan Robins, and the Ninja Blacksox


    Great game, I loved that you could climb the wall to rob a home run.

    They should release games every 2-3 years and concentrate on development and innovation.

    Sell full roster updates/downloads every year (or even more frequently). Sell a bit more add on content like classic ballparks/stadiums, classic teams (hell, classic seasons), etc...

    I think it would do the whole industry good...

    That is a great idea! I loved the baseball games where you could play in the classic stadiums.

    it just seems like games are coming out way too frequently now. I stopped buying sports games for the most part and continuing franchise modes past a season or 2. The changes are always minor and unnoticeable for the most part. Also, minor errors carry over for years (such as the Buffalo Sabres goal horn on NHL games).

    The industry I guess puts people on the grindstone for people to pump these out and meet deadlines. It would be nice if they could take a step back and concentrate more on the content. Then raise the $ by the downloadable add on content which could be fantastic. I know I would likely drop more $ by this model.

    I blame myself, I mentioned some classics earlier but neglected some new era games. FIFA is hands down the best sports game on the market today. Destroys Madden, destroys NHL, destroys The Show.

    Pong is so much in the past. Time to jump into the future for a real challenge.

    I had completely forgotten about "Jordan vs Bird: One On One". They didn't put it on the list, but they discussed it in the "Bulls vs Blazers and NBA Playoffs" part. If they ever had a list of worst sports games, Jordan vs Bird would belong near the top. I see it is #7 on some magazine list for worst Sega Genesis games of all time, but I had the even worse NES version.
    Dr. J vs. Larry Bird kicked butt on the Atari.

    Screw you Mr. Janitor. Clean up that glass!

    Tecmo Baseball for the SNES was pretty dang good. Also enjoyed Tecmo Basketball.

    Stat tracking may have swayed my opinion

    So did anybody else know about the speedy puck and no goalies for NES Ice Hockey? This is the first I'm hearing of these, and I've asked numerous people, nobody else heard of them either.

    I've done the no goalies before, never heard of the speed puck.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Yes, I think the puck had way more bounce as well. The no goalies games took forever to play.

    the puck would go fast and pretty much bounce endlessly off the boards until it hit a player or went into the net.
