"10 Best Sports Games for iPhone\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. NBA Jam\n\n\nThis classic plays just like it did in the arcade and on the consoles. The game has two-on-two, fast-paced basketball action with gravity-defying dunks and players who literally catch on fire when they excel.\nIn addition to classic players, you can also unlock unorthodox ballers, like current politicians. Multiplayer between two iOS devices is also available.\n[iPad Download Link]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Super Stickman Golf\n\n\nThis is a somewhat unusual golf game. From its 2D side-on perspective, the courses hardly resemble anything in reality. The game somewhat resembles physics puzzlers, but still plays like golf, with power-ups to alter the environment, stick to walls and hit the ball really far.\nIn the game's online multiplayer mode, it becomes not about the number of strokes, but getting into the hole first. With plenty of courses, the game won't get old.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. iOOTP Baseball 2011\n\n\nThis game features very little actual baseball action. Players manage an entire team at their chosen level. Want to order a team around pitch-by-pitch? That\u2019s possible. Want to just manage the personnel weeks at a time? Go for it.\nDon\u2019t let the lack of live action dissuade you; it\u2019s as engrossing and addictive as any traditional baseball game.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Flick Champions\n\n\nLike a lot of sports? This game has eight variations of sports, from soccer to bowling.\nThe games resemble table versions, rather than realistic sport versions. However, they're still more involved than something like foosball or air hockey. The games feature tournaments and various unlockables, and have same-device multiplayer in the universal iPad version.\n[Universal Download Link]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. FIFA Soccer 12\n\n\nThis is a serious soccer simulation that can stand up with its console brethren. A full 11-on-11 soccer game, the touchscreen can be utilized with virtual buttons for maximum control.\nThe daily challenge mode poses various situations, from making set pieces to winning entire games with a specific team.\nThe iPad version's multiplayer allows two players with iPhones or iPod touches to direct play on the iPad screen.\n[iPad Download Link]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Flick Soccer\n\n\nSoccer is most fun when the player can score goals (sorry, 0-0 matches will never be exciting).\nThis game is all about the set pieces, and trying to sneak balls past the goalie. The flick mechanic is very easy to use, and makes the game much more fun to play than the average soccer match.\n[iPad Download Link]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Par Out Golf\n\nWho would have thought that drawing and golf would make a good match? The course becomes obscured as you prepare your shot, then you must try to draw around obstacles to get as close to the hole as possible. Online multiplayer is also available.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Backbreaker 2 Vengeance\n\n\nTired of the NFL being the No Fun League? Then check out this game, where players control a ball carrier who's dodging tacklers on the way to the end zone.\nWhen all tacklers are evaded, players can gloat for bonus points, although those tacklers have the tendency to get back up and try to take down the player again.\n[iPad Download Link]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Madden NFL 12\n\n\nPossibly the most famous sports franchise of all time is available on iOS, and it plays a better game of football than most handheld games. Full playbooks, season modes and multiplayer are all here.\n[iPad Download Link]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. iQuarterback 2\n\n\nThis game tests reflexes and accuracy as players try to hit pop-up targets and move around the playing field. Players level-up and increase their base scores the more they play, enabling long-term players for higher scores. \nAccessories that increase abilities and power-ups are also available. Players have access to cool add-ons like giant bear heads and (ironically) soccer balls.\n[iPad Download Link]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt may be mid-winter, but sports are still in full-swing. The NBA is coming back, the NFL playoff races are in high gear, and even soccer and hockey fans are in the middle of their seasons. \n\nSEE ALSO: 10 Stunning iPhone Sports Photographs [GALLERY]\nFor those who want to get in on the action virtually, look to iOS for plenty of sporting entertainment.
