19 Best Intros In Sports Video Games History

It's common practice now, but this intro took players by surprise, as they were immediately thrown into a game of American football. Unlike in today's games, where you're able to play the fictional Super Bowl, here the player was just a spectator, watching the last play of the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots. There are close-ups of the players and their emotions, there's Eagles coach Andy Reid on the sidelines, there are fans in the stands. It captures everything.

And the ending? Gripping. With one second left, just before the last play, the video ends and you're left to work out the scenario in your head. What did happen? The best way to find out is to take the controller in your hands and just get into the game.
