Now that December has arrived and all of the sports titles have been released there will be articles featured throughout the remainder month that look back on the games and big stories of the year. Before starting the countdown on the top 10 games of 2009 the worst has to be cleared out. Last year those were fringe titles FIFA Street 3 and Facebreaker. This time around there is a major franchise included.

3) NBA Unrivaled
There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this downloadable game and it was sold at the egregious price of $15. Thankfully no more than a handful (literally) of people actually bought it so the damage was very limited.

2) MLB Front Office Manager
Lots of online posters exaggerate the problems with games. However FOM was literally broken. Then 2K Sports completely abandoned it providing absolutely no support or even any communication with those who had purchased it.

1) MLB 2K9

mlb2k101209

The worst major yearly sports title this generation in the context of when it was released. No game has been plagued with as many glitches as regularly experienced in MLB 2K9. It was improbable to get through a single game without coming across at least one if not several. This video is an entertaining example of what the final product provided. As stated back when evaluating the game there comes a point where the “building a foundation” excuse can not be accepted anymore and it becomes apparent the game has very little potential.

2K Sports even disrespected baseball enthusiasts by changing the wall dimension of parks and adding non-existent billboards to provide more space for advertising. At the very least you would expect a company to be true to the sport they are attempting to replicate. Consumers who only own a 360 are relegated to looking forward to the end of the third party license and feeling jealousy towards those who have a PS3.

NCAA football? I think you have that confused with Madden. I would add NBA Live tot hat list but let's be honest there are a ton of crappy games this year and games that did the same thing they did in previous versions. You should make a "Nothing New" topic and the winner would be COD and HALO!!!.

FIFA 10 begs to differ..

MLB 2k9 was not the worst sports title of 2009, it was the worst next gen game ever released. period.

and the argument can be made that it is one of the most unplayable video games in history….

Mlb 2k9 was very fun. A very fun multiplayer game. And The Season was a blast to play. I am one that can see right thru Pasta and his anti2K, proEA rants. For him to state that MLB 2k9 was the worst sports game made last year, would actually mean that it posed the biggest threat to his precious world where EA dominates. Seriously. I mean seriously MLB2k9 was a very satisfying game. Better than the Show. The Show has some really good presentation, but it wasnt the better playing game with the most user control. You will all see that when the list of MLBTHE SHOW features will read like improvements not new extra features. That game was stiff and souless. So how is it that MLB2k9 is the worst. NCAA FOOTBALL clearly was rehash trash. all that speed, dudes looked on crack. NHL210 was weak this year, as was Fight Night. Pasta's list are always EA kiss assed….
