Spaceman Spiff Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Listening to Simmons podcast yesterday http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/player?context=podcast&id=2969059# and it made me wonder who your all time video game all stars were from across the board... For me, obviously it was Tecmo Bowl 2 Bo Jackson. No explanation necessary. I remember being able to hit 3's from anywhere on the court in NBA live 95 with Rex Chapman. I also think Barry Sanders was unstoppable for me in Madden 96 on the Genesis. Raffy Palmeiro was a god in World Series '94 on the Genesis too. On the last two Madden's, Vick has been amazing too. No one open? Just pull it down and take off. Guaranteed a first down almost every time. So who you got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 And Christian Okoye, the Nigerian Nightmare was pretty damn awesome in Tecmo 2. If I couldn't be Bo and the Raiders, I'd be Okoye. Broke a lot of tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Sweet thread. I liked the Bears in Tecmo Bowl. Both Walter Payton and Neal Anderson were unstoppable, and Mike Singletary was RI-DIC-U-LOUS. Occasionally Richard Dent would beat me to the QB when I was controlling Singletary, which made the Bears even better. On the original "Hardball!" for PC, Tommy Euler was unhittable, and Jim Morlini made Dennis Eckersley look like a girls' slow-pitch softball player. It's too bad the little box guys on Atari 2600 football didn't have names. I broke all kinds of records with them and they never got credit for it. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 This probably could use a move to the Tailgate, no? Tecmo Bowl 2 = Tecmo Super Bowl You've neglected the defensive greats... obviously LT is the bomb, but a lot of the players still going now swear by David Fulcher and Ronnie Lott... Michael Jordan was unstoppable in Bulls vs. Lakers... get to where you pull off his move, and it never missed. Steve Yzerman in NHLPA '93 (yes, precedes the great NHL'94 by a year... so what). Mario Lemiuex also a similar player... Jeremy Roenick as well. One of my buds and I always had epic battles in that one.... Pavel Bure and Trevor Lindon also were good... I can't recall anyone from the NBA Live games... maybe Jordan when you could create him again... from 2k1 Andre Miller and Tim Duncan were my unstoppable team... For most games there are similar players you can sort've cheese with if you get the timing down. But no one beats Bo Jackson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about Bases Loaded 2. For NY, Stamer and Ayoub were my money pitchers. Taksen was good too. Their lineup was full of studs Albin, Palmer and Porter were studs. I'd go deep with Albin every game. I still fire up Bases Loaded 2 every so often on the emulator I have on my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Paul Kariya- NHL 98. His specialty move was to put the puck between his legs, if you just skated into the goalie while performing that move, he would fall over but the puck would continue on its path to the net. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Dikembe Mutombo in either NBA2k or NBA2k1 on dreamcast. For some reason, he would get rebounds at or above the top of the backboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloppyOneXXVI Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 A bit old, but RBI 2 for NES was one of my favorite games as a kid. It had rosters from 1989, and the Athletics were amazing. That game was the reason I became a Jose Canseco fan....... that worked out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Madden 94 for Sega Genesis - I would get like 500 yards rushing per game with the Steelers and Barry Foster. :laugh: You could also block field goals, XPs and punts with Darrell Green every time, because he was so fast.

cyfar Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 pat white and steve slaton in ncaa 08. anyone want to step? I just found out about how awesome those two in a game I played over the weekend. My buddy, who is a normally a really good player, was down by 38 by the end of the first half. He didn't have an answer for either of them. As for the rest of my list: Dell Curry on Live 96 Bo on tecmo bowl Any nose tackle on Tecmo Super Bowl Trung Candidate (on artificial turf) on Madden 2003 or whenever he played in the Fun and Gun for the Skins. Rock Cartright on NFL 2k3. They gave the man a 92 Speed rating. LB #51(Lavar Arrington) and Darrell Green on Madden up until 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomerics Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 How in the world can you have a thread on Video game superstars, and not mention Cap Boso? The UNSTOPPABLE Cap Boso for the Bears??? Forget Payton, there was a play in the original Tecmo Bowl that would allow Cap Boso to catch the ball 100% of the time, even when you called the play on defense to stop it! Personally, I think a relative worked as a programmer to forever make him a god in the pantheon of video game sports legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriolesfan93p Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I will vote for MLB baseball 94 the toronto bluejays and seattle mariners. The bluejays had 2 of the fastest men in the game on their team in Roberto Alomar and Ricky Henderson and the slowest but always got a hit John Olerud(sp?). Seattle had Griffy and Edgar martinez and Jay Buhner and they were money as well. Those 2 teams kicked butt in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
