Sports games need alot of space but 8MB is enough for like 10-20 games

Metal Gear Solid 2: 80 KB or 0.08 MB (aprox.) (Or look at the back of the game's box)

No you can't do that

You can move save files to you're PC. But it requires additional accessories. I've never used them, so I don't know the details. But Google em and you'll get some good reviews and info. The two that come to mind as possibly being able to do that are the Dex Drive and Action Replay. But since we're on the subject of PS2 Memory Cards, I had a question: I had heard on another post here that PS2 Memory Cards over the size of 8MB are easily corrupted. Is this true? The poster (I don't remember who), said that PS2 hardware itself only accesses 8MB at a time, and that's why, or something like that. Aren't there Official Sony PS2 memory cards that 16MB and 32MB? Are they reliable if this is the case?

It's fairly hit and miss with the larger cards. If it's one that can access different sectors with a button (so 4X8 for example instead of 32 as a whole), then the risk becomes smaller, but still possible. I own one and never had anything major happen to it, but some minor problems now and then, such as not finding a file momentarily. Never was permanent, but be prudent with what you buy.

No, Sony themselves only produced an 8MB memory card for the PS2.
