Madden was my favorite, but I think 2001 was the last one I played. I doubt I'm the only Raider fan who that's true for.
I also really enjoyed NBA Live, which was the precursor to 2K. I think 2004 is the most recent one I played. Since the 2004 Pistons are my favorite team of all time, I never felt the need to update it. Also, I liked assembling Lebron's heat in their rookie year and playing career mode.

I liked the NBA and NHL games a lot more back then. The controls were much easier. Now they all have these elaborate shot and movement controls. I don't want to spend 20 hours learning how to play a game. I just want to pick it up and play for half an hour and then put it away for 5 days.

That reminds me that my brother had a Sega NHL game that was awesome. Obviously, most of the fun was getting into fights.

I don't think they have much fighting NHL games anymore. In the older games there used to be 2 or 3 a game but last time I played NHL 2K fighting was really rare and hard to instigate. There is probably a slider that lets you increase the frequency but the default was pretty rare.

Seems like everyone else is in agreement. Those are the only two with votes so far.

It’s been ages, but madden or the NCAAF equivalent were always my favorites. I liked the mascot mode where each player was the teams mascot.

I can't say I recall ever playing mascot mode.

Bears are putting up a heck of a fight against the Saints. If they pull it out the Survivor Pool could be over.
