You mean unrealistic sports anime?

Prince of Tennis, and Eyeshield 21 pop in my mind. Though I don’t know they are any good since I haven’t watched them, they were very popular at least once in Japan.

Haven't seen the series mentioned in the orginal post, but I'd say Battle Athletes qualifies as fantasy sports.

As he said, Prince Of Tennis and Eyeshield 21. I also recommend Area no Kishi, and Major

If you're really looking for "fantasy" sports anime, one of the first titles that springs to my mind is the super-deformed robot athletes anime series Iron Leaguer. Roughly the first third of Eyeshield 21 is available on American DVD, and Eyeshield 21 is about as "realistic" as Inazuma Eleven is, which is to say "not very."
