19 Best Intros In Sports Video Games History

9. NHL 98

Are you willing to donate your body?

Got a problem with authority?

Would you stop a speeding bullet?

Are you afraid of the masked man?

What an interrogation to start the game! And it only gets better, as the video features a lot of hits, shots, and saves, showing the beauty of hockey. The highlight is obviously the goal scored by Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils, but there is just so much going on in here!

Just like the intro to NBA Live 98, this one also takes the gamer out of the real world and into a virtual arena, where he's supposed to show what he's capable of.
