Football - Easily Tecmo Super Bowl. It improved in nearly every aspect from the original and had a unique feel and presentation that was unmatched for a long time.

Hockey - Blades of Steel wins here. It had fights, mini-games, and a easy to understand control system.

Baseball - Baseball Stars is the champion (followed by Little League Baseball). It allow customizable teams and players and even the ability to improve your players based on your performance. Absolutely great game that wasn't matched until the World Series Baseball titles on Genesis.

Basketball - Arch Rivals. I know, some of you are saying Double Dribble, but Double Dribble lacked a lot of appeal that the games above brought to the table. Arch Rivals was innovative and new, basically being the precursor to titles like NBA Jam later.

Other - Pigskin 621 A.D. For those of you who visited the arcade when you were younger, you saw this game and were amazed. It was a mix of football and rugby, set in medieval times that included weapons, obstacles, players, and yes, even trolls. It was fun and innovative, but was definitely a quarter monster. Expect to lose money fast on this one, but it was worth it.

Tecmo Bowl.

Good call.

RBI was great but I actually liked RBI 2 better. My buddies and I used to have a league in that game. We would keep our own stats and shit. LOL.

A few others:
Bad News Baseball (NES)
Baseball Simulator 2000 (NES)
Ken Griffey Baseball (SNES)
Sports Talk Baseball (Genesis)
Basically any EA title on the Genesis. I even loved FIFA back then.
Double Dribble (NES)
Blades of Steel (NES)
Bases Loaded (NES)

And like JHight said, Baseball Stars and Little League on the NES were the shit.

Could you tell I was a huge baseball fan as a kid?

Alright, I'm relying on my VSN brethren here. There was this game that I used to play ALL the damn time on Sega and it wasn't Mutant League Football....but it was that kind of monster football game. I remember that it was like a field, but with all sorts of crap on it that you could fall through wholes. Trip over rocks (which is when you'd fumble it), etc. It wasn't actually play based, it was more like smear the queer with a team towards an endzone. In fact, I think you could even kill players.

I've been wondering what the fuck this game was called forever now and this thread just brought it back up so I wanna see if anyone has any clue what I'm talking about.
