WE’RE ONTO THE SWEET SIXTEEN: Click here to vote
Since we’re still (barely) in the month of March and all locked down in quarantine, let’s BRACKET!
I figured since we’re a fake sports site, it only makes sense to rank and determine the greatest sports video game of all time. I’ve got 32 games, broken into four different divisions to chose from for this prestigious title. This list of 32 was constructed with my own video game knowledge, along with pretty much every “top sport video game” list the internet had to offer, so if your favorite game didn’t make the top 32, well, maybe you should play more popular games. (That being said, I didn’t see Mario Super Strikers anywhere on my internet search and let me tell you people, that game is LEGIT and easily one of the greatest soccer games ever made. But, I am a man of the people and didn’t force it into the rankings. These are the sacrifices one makes for such an important, monumental benefit to society such as this.)
Now, I didn’t just make this bracket for me to fill out and then determine the unquestioned truth. No! I made this for everyone to participate in! So, here’s how you can join the fun:
- Make your picks for Round 1 in the polls below or on Twitter
- Fill out your own bracket and tweet it at us @Faketeams (make sure to follow us while you’re at it!)
Shall we begin?
Without further ado, here is the bracket to find THE GREATEST SPORTS VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME!
