Ok you don't like baseball, but really the clear choice is MLB: The Show, because it's insanely better than its multiplat competitor, MLB 2kX. I think there's actually a big disparity in the hockey franchises, too, so I guess you wouldn't need advice on those two even if you were into the sports!
As for the others I really can't say. I may look to get a football (soccer) game at some point, so I'm interested there. Both franchises seem good.
