Neo Turfmasters for me. League Bowling and Baseball Stars 2 are also great games.

I would also pick Turfmasters as overall best, following by Baseball Stars 2, League Bowling, and Super Baseball 2020.

Hmm, must say that Sidekicks 1 and 2 are my most played sport's game.

Can't deny Windjammers or Soccer Brawl appeal though.

Hmmm...

Ultimate 11
Turf Master
Baseball stars 2

Those three are my favourites, but windjammers are quite nice as well.

Easily Neo Turf Masters for me. No doubt.

And for a baseball fan, I really don't like Baseball Stars 2 all that much. It's OK, but I think it's too "loud". I'm more of an RBI Baseball/Tecmo Baseball type o'guy.

If you can stretch the term 'sport' to include bowling, then my choice is League Bowling. Easy, simple, fun. Otherwise, Baseball Stars 2. BS2 was one of the last sports games where I felt I knew what the hell I was doing. Sports games now I always feel like, "Auuugh, I didn't want to pass to him!" or "which guy am I controlling?!" Like in a soccer game, I'll be closing on the guy with the ball...all of a sudden I'm somebody else running the wrong way.

I don't own any sports games, but I have good memories of the BS games in the arcade.

(Note: I've played all of these)
My favorite: Neo Turf Masters (AKA Big Tournament Golf)
Runners up (in no order):
Street Slam (AKA Dunk Dream, Street Hoops)
League Bowling
NeoGeo Cup 98
Super Sidekicks 3
Baseball Stars 2
Baseball Stars Professional

Sports games that IMO aren't worth playing:
Football Frenzy
Power Spikes 2 (possibly the worst Neo game IMO)

Did anyone say Neo Turf Masters/Big Tournament Gold already???

Aside from that Ultimate 11 is fantastic... although i've only played teh rom of it... *terribly fun*

And back in the day on MVS cabs, I'd always love playing Super Baseball 2020.

Baseball Stars 2

On a sidenote: Is it possible for us to do the catch/jump and throw move that the Computer does when we play it?

I hope you know what i mean. Ive never been able to do that super-fast throw to second base. (the computer catched the ball, does a little jump and throws to the other bases).

wtf
