Are you guys in to sport video games? If so which ones. I enjoy playing NCAA football 10, FIFA 10, best of all NHL 10

Never bought a sports game in my life. Ever. Tried every other genre but that one. Nearly picked up NHL 10 second hand but they was charging full price for it so i told them to **** off and spat in there face.

Other than FIFA I'm not a huge fan.

Eh. Used to play quite a few when I was younger, but haven't done as much when I got older. Played Madden 2002, Triple Play Baseball, and NBA 2001. All old games, but good in their times. The most recent was a newer NBA game, but the name escapes me atm. I'm more the first person shooter and RTS gamer, but sports games are fun as well.

I've played a few sports games, but lately the controls have been complicated as hell. UFC 2010 has to be the most **** annoying move set ever. Otherwise, I play Madden (rarely), havn't played Fifa in years, and can't stop playing NHL 10 (even if the glitchers run the EASHL now). Speaking of sports games... NHL 11 has gotten so much hype from here. The broken stick and new physics engine have given me hops that NHL 11 is going to be glitch shot-free.

UFC isn't that hard, the hard part is getting used to the transitions, After you learn them you don't forget.

Okay, it might not seem that hard, but when you play your first fight against someone who has been around the series for a while, you'll complain about it too. Honestly, I'm going to try to get it back to Gamestop today to (hopefully) get a full refund and pick up something that I know I won't have anything to complain about (such as Alan Wake or Red Dead).

Honestly, I didn't care for it, there's just so many games that are better.

I haven't played that many sports games. I did like the old FIFA games, and I really loved NBA 06 (Go Phoenix!) but I've probably played the NHL series the most. I really think the entertainment value for them has gone down. I find that I'm much better at the older games than the new ones. Oh well.

I actually think that the entertainment value goes up more when you play online, because you end up playing with and against players where you learn something new every game. I've played almost 1400 games in the last 2 years and I'm still learning new things online. Honestly, the offline gets repetitive if your winning every game by like 5 goals, so I'd recommend playing online, or for games like NHL 09 or NHL 10 (and you might be able to do this in other sports games, I dunno), you can adjust the sliders to make the A.I. seem like the actual players, which makes the game a lot more entertaining for me.
