Well like the title says, what are the good sports games for the PS2? I've never really been into the sports games but I think it's time to start shopping for some. Since there are so many I figured I'd ask you guys which ones are the best. Are there any must have's out there?

 

If you like football, try Madden NFL 2005 for PS2 only $19.82 plus shipping at Walmart.

 

Anyone else have any recommendations? I'm sure there is some must have games out there. I just dont know which ones.

 

tiger woods is pretty cool, even if your not really into golf.
from 2003 through 2005 the gameplay is pretty much the same,
besides different courses, and modes of play.
on all you can play up to 4 players without multi-tap(2 players use controller 1, 2 players use controller 2)
in 2004 & 2005 you can create your own golfer, facial features get pretty detailed too. (clothes, equipment, accessories)
you could probably find a pre-played 2003 pretty cheap ($10 or so)
and decide if you like it enough to drop the $50 on 2005.

 

If you like NBA simulation get ESPN NBA 2k5. I've seen it as low as $10 at Target but I want to say that was a special. It's no more than $20. If you like a more arcade feel, you can get Live 2k5 for $30 but I've yet to play it. From what I've read ESPN = sim while Live = Arcade.

 

nfl 2k5

 

Football = Madden 05
Hockey = NHL 2k5
Baseball = MVP 05

That's pretty much what I play.

 

Yeah that one is addicting too. I did like 3 seasons with the Dolphins. I named bball since football's about done.
