What if quarterbacks could freeze time? Wouldn’t that make their jobs so much easier? Think again.

It was Sega’s first shot at hockey on their big bad Saturn console, and well, there’s not much of a “why” to this game being here. The action is of course lightyears behind, totally awkward and frustrating. It’s a total copycat of EA’s NHL series, so much so that I think Sega was trying to fool gamers into thinking it was the new EA game. This is the least intolerable game on this list, but it’s high up there for downright shame. There’s even a hard-to-see ball and uniforms that you can’t tell apart from each other. It feels like it was made in a single afternoon. The makers of Tony Hawk apparently never watched a game of basketball in their lives.

It’s almost insulting that a company released a game this bad in 2002. Want to see a routine ground ball hop over your shortstop’s head? How do you like fielding without actually seeing your fielders? Would you like to press more buttons just so your catcher can throw the ball back to the pitcher? Play this game! Full review: ESPN Baseball Tonight 5. It’s bad enough this game has piss-poor presentation, messy control, and players who stop the game to dance, but it also has the longest loading screens ever and a BLIMP flying in front of the camera. This 32-bit version is released by Acclaim only, and from the looks of it, Acclaim really sucks. NBA Jam ExtremeĮveryone loved the original NBA Jam, released by Midway and Acclaim. NHL Powerplay ’96ĭo you like having seizures? Then this game is for you! You’ve never seen a video game that SHAKES as much as this one. This piece of crap looks like ass and it’s got the most awkward gameplay ever. Three years into their 32-bit baseball series, EA Sports was still botching baseball in hideous fashion. You’d think cartoony side-scrolling 2-on-2 hockey would be at least a little bit of fun, but this stupid thing is slooooww as molasses and impossible to control, a total slog. Hockey is the easiest sport to make into a video game, and yet this excruciating game is one of FOUR hockey games on the list. It’s all about why they’re so damn bad.īuckle up and get your barf bag ready, my friend. The games on this list aren’t here just for being bad. This isn’t exactly a list of the worst sports video games ever.
