LOL, you guys ever read The Sports Guy editorials on ESPN.com? I don't agree with everything he says, but he's hilarious. He did an article titledWho's better than Bo? on this very subject.

Cap Boso in the original Tecmo Bowl. Sure everyone wanted the Bears for Sweetness, but when you get tired of running circles around the defense, throw the quick slant to Cap because you can't miss!

Barry Sanders in GameDay on PS1 like mid to late 90s forgot which year
all you had to do was hold down the juke button and no one could tackle him!!
i would have like 70-90 yard TD runs all the time!!

Bo Jackson on offense and Lawrence Taylor on defense (field goal? I don't think so) in Tecmo Bowl.

All this talk about Bo Jackson in Tecmo Super Bowl makes me want to bust out my Genesis and play as the Raiders again. I never noticed that.

I did have like 10 kick returns for TD's with Sanders in a season though.

i got the same results from both. the 4sec goal from the face off. the blue line slapshot guarantee. and both totally uncheckable, but.... i did put jeremy first just out of sentimental value. i always used detroit. they had all the fighters plus yzerman and federov. fastest player in the game was mark gartner from ny all the way.

god, that brings back memories. me and my bro going head to head for hours. he with ny, me with detroit. detroit was an 8 overall, but definitely played like a nine.

Seconded. Forget defense; with Bo Jackson on your team, all you needed was his offense.

Close second is probably Vick in Madden 2k4...but at least he's stoppable.

Bo Jackson hauling guys down the field brings back memories!

yep...bo followed by vick

Barry Sanders in the original Madden for the SNES.

Halfback Toss Left = TD every damn time. No exceptions.

Payton was pretty awesome in Madden '93 for Sega. He could spin out of any tackle, he was like a pinball going to the sidelines where he would bust it open.

Ken Griffey Jr. in (surprise, surprise) Ken Griffey baseball for the SNES. His batting circle was HUGE!!! You could not miss any pitch that was even remotely close to the strike zone. And 75% of his hits were home runs. And if he says "I'm back!" as he is coming up to bat, it was a guaranteed home run for him.

Come to think of it.......the whole mariners team was stacked in that game. I swear, I would average 2 home runs a game with jay buhner. Jay freaking buhner.

Dana Barros in NBA live 94 (i think, or 95) for SNES was domination.
I could hit every single three pointers from half court with him, pissed the hell out of my bro.

Move up from ROOKIE setting. I was hitting 3-pointers with the Worm, until my friends taught me about the difficulty setting.
It was actually Kenny Smith of the Rockets in NBA Live 95. Few people know of his record of 26 3-pointers in one game..... :D
