The Last Good Madden

- Madden NFL 12 was the last GOOD Madden NFL game. If Madden NFL 08 on PS2 gen was "great", then Madden NFL 12 was "good". Madden NFL 12, while not an amazing game by any means, was the last madden game to have some of the most beloved features that are no longer in Madden, such as create-a-team, Superstar mode, coaching trees, and more. Yes, Madden NFL 12 was better than Madden NFL 20. No, I am not a boomer.

All madden is now is cheese and glitches, the “Pro players” aren’t even good they just exploit the game as much as possible.
I don't really get how some of them players are so good on All Madden tbh i have sliders up and everything and I still struggle heavily on the game mode but All Pro is so unbelievably easy
Chris Heyward the A.I. cheats
@@Boomer045 yeah ik they literally know what ur play is before they even snap the ball when u audible they shift even tho u never even shifted which means it based completely off luck
Yeah they just should skip a year for the game all madden is is a updated roster that's it
That’s what crappy players say
I remember playing this game a lot back in the day and will never forget playing as Jamaal Charles and breaking a play wide open while Gus Johnson is screaming "HE'S GOT GET AWAY FROM THE COPS SPEED!"
Tomahawk Trav 17 Thats racist
Gus Johnson's presence in Madden 11 and Madden 12 was what made those games classics in my opinion.
@@niktherabbit6747 To be honest
that wasnt jamal charles it was chris johnson
I can hear that comment bro haha
Remember way back in Madden 2000 when they had a little quiz during the load screen? That was neat.
DizzlePup do u play madden 2004
@@ChonaOfficial no I haven't- my Madden play has been very sporadic. I played 2000 a heap as a kid, then had no money at college so didn't play again til 2005. Had every year through to Madden 12 then have only picked it up again this year.
DizzlePup same story of my childhood
Madden 2009
Guys, just play BackBreaker.
RIP Create-A-Team Madden 2002 - Madden 12
It was my favorite mode but then those greedy asshats realized why give the players the freedom to customize their own team when they can charge them actual cash to purchase cards of players to put on their favorite team if they want to win with the amount that you can only play online...
ECHICAGOBEARSDBZ It’s the same with Fifa and NHL, too. The only thing ea is looking at is profit. The games have so much potential. The problem is kids from nowadays don’t understand how cool these games used to be and buy cards with the money of their parents.
@@erikbuxmann4091 At least NHL has create-a-team and a franchise mode that has plenty of depth. However I do agree that FIFA has become a cash grab and could be worse if PES didn't exist.
ChevyRoll48 Fifa would be much better if PES wasn’t so bad. Also I still wait for NHL to touch the be-a-pro mode. Hopefully there will be a good XFL game.
The closest thing to create a team there is now is just relocation mode on franchise mode. I like relocation mode but you have to go through an entire season in order to play as the team you relocated. I remember simulating entire seasons just to play as a relocation team.
Remember when Greg Jennings carried his team when they needed him

“Oh shit, it’s Darren Sharper! One of the hardest hitting safeties in the league!”

Also madden 12 had probably the best soundtrack
I always said madden 09, maddden 12, madden 11 had the best soundtracks , in that order. Madden 07 and madden 04 are tried for fourth place
Ravens Nation madden 10 soundtrack was great too
Madden 17 (probably the best game of this generation) has one hell of a soundtrack. It's so varied and it all fits the tone well
I like madden 20s soundtrack....... Before i got rid of the game but 05, 07, 09, 11 is the soundtracks i remember the most. Had that Lupe stuck in my head when i played 07 as a kid.
Yeah hands down, best Madden soundtrack of all time! It had everything good in it, Tribe called Quest and the Beasties Boys’ best songs they ever made. , Queen (kinda), FFDP, Snoop Dogg, and that real banger of a song, “Mind Your Manners”. I like Madden 20’s soundtrack, but the OST in this has nothing on this or any MLB the Show game’s soundtrack
"Madden is removing all the fun game modes"
Madden 22:
**removes play now**
This is why i switched from madden to NBA 2K21 and im glad i did.
@Taj James NBA 2k22 I will be playing definitely, plus, the next gen game is at least better than madden on current and next gen
Soon it will only be MUT
Soon madden will charge me .99 cents to buy the play action, $1.99 for reverse plays. And don’t get me started on blitz packages.
@@ridgeplayz8906 Funny you say that because 2k21 is a horrible game fam
Imagine where we would be 8 years later if they kept building upon the game.
Imagine if they capitalized on the license and ESPN branding to bring an authentic feel to everything. Used the music they actually use on TV for games. Had player interviews and stuff. Realistic trades happen or ramp up trades during the deadline like every sport does now every season. Bring back position battles, I love the idea that lower Overall players have a chance to start over established veterans. I know it's a NFL thing but god I almost wanna go back to this game for the dynamic crowds again to where if your team sucks...people won't show up.
Man sports games in general could be amazing if companies put more into them. Kinda wish they would all pull a NHL and do a game every 2 years so that they can build upon things each year
@@tyratooOP they have the resources to build upon the game EVERY year, but the choose not to. I have hope for next gen but not much
Oh hey. Peyton Hillis. Haven’t seen that dude in a while.
ayyyy ugf lol
He’s now back on Twitter and runs a Browns podcast!
Probably the most random Madden cover athlete. He had one great year.
As a die hard jets fan. I feel for you browns fans. One day we will be good.
@@zacharysnyder2520
I just don’t think ea cares
EA cares about money and their investors.
EA only cares about profits and if they can exploit the players to get them more money, they will. That's all their focus goes into MUT, it's what makes money. It's sad to see a once great franchise turn into online Vegas basically
Getting Instructions I haven’t played MUT in a very very long time, so yes we gotta get more people to stop playing it so they actually improve the game
I easily played 1000+ hours on this game. The animations were the best in recent memory. Even after all the hours I had played I still was able to find animations I hadnt seen before.
Why do you show Gus Johnson the comedian instead of Gus Johnson the football announcer? ROFLMAO!

@@ryanfitzpatrick6557 How was that a cover-up?

I still believe ESPN NFL 2K5 and Madden 12 are the greatest NFL football video games ever made, with the Madden games from the mid 2000's decade close behind.
You are absolutely correct !
I played this Madden for 5 years thinking I was missing out on the newer Maddens... Crazy to see the decline... Definitely the last GOOD Madden IMO!!
Facts i was the same I swear I would play madden 12 right now 😂
we gotta stop buying madden until they start listening to us the players
no

Mine was madden 2001,on psone. From switzerland. Helped me learning the rules.
Madden 64 for me! Shame it didn’t have the NFL license, but I still played it for years (500 or so games on my ‘controller pak’ before it died ☹️)
First I owned madden 11 but first I played was madden 06
i miss madden 12, i created a whole team of created players, uniforms, and stadium on that one.
I remember sitting down watching my dad play Madden 12 on the 360...he had a franchise with the Panthers...he played 20 years in the franchise...even when Madden 13, & 25 came out he still played Madden 12, & honestly if I still had my 360 I would play Madden 12 over 20, or even NCAA 14
The best version is probably the ps3 one, its a million times easier to add in updated rosters
i had it on ps2 it was extremely fun i played it for 3-4 years but i lost my ps2 if i still had it i would continue playing it
@@SalmanAli-hn2kt you can play it on a pc using an emulator
I got NCAA 13 and 14, NCAA basketball 10, NBA live 08 and 10, Madden 11, College basketball 2K8, NFL2k5, Tiger woods 14 and way more. Been going back to all of them

Madden 17 is the last tolerable
Madden 17 was the last time EA Trax was good. Now it's nothing, but rap. Not to mention it was between the new catch controls from Madden 16 and the awful switch to Frostbite in Madden 18. Though it was after the aggressive catch was nerfed.

Ngl madden 12 had the best intro
13 had that Ray Lewis intro that was pretty lit too

Phil Sims on madden 25: MY GOSH
I had Madden 12 for the Ps2. The soundtrack formed a lot of my taste in music. Madden for ps2 had the best game modes. For the ps2, it had special elemental teams, like a team where their home field was ice and it was slippery and difficult to gain yards. I loved the camera angle for the Superstar mode in ps2 madden games. It was zoomed in on your player and your player only. It was fun to play as a CB and track ball and intercept it. Such good memories
It had the greastest Madden soundtrack I've ever heard. Made me a 3 year FFDP (Five Finger Death Punch) fan all because of Back For More.
Great video! Love your stuff. You've helped me buy some of the older games I haven't played in a while. Might even pick this game up too if I find it in the flea market
I agree, I got Madden 12 from a friend after I already had 13 and 15, it was a lot better and I had a lot more fun with it, especially the Madden Moments, why didn't you mention that?
@America Ugh don't remind me of that, I'm a Giants fan(So is SoftDrink), speaking of the Madden 12 intro with the Desean Jackson punt return was very triggering because I completely forgot it ever happened lol, those two comebacks were ironically similar
I've started getting older maddens for xbox360 and ncaa College football. Having a blast. Been playing as offensive coordinator for North texas
I would love to get z ps2
This detail is soooooo underated, I don't see you mention. In Madden 12 they put lesser known/players who didn't get draftable grades. It was really just randomly generated UDFA but most would suck, but sometimes you land a beast of a player. Because algorithm would have random proportions.. a feature will probably never see 🙈 again.
I quit modern madden 4 years ago now and switched back to madden 12 and it’s like night and day. With the proper sliders the game play is challenging but makes me feel like ive earned wins, the off-season is something I look forward to, and making moves during the season like resigning players and restructuring contracts feels good. It’s sad that an 11 year old game makes me feel better than anything put out now, it’s a disgrace.
You're finally doing a video on my fav Madden. Thank you
Does anyone remember the bug in the early 2000's (03 or 04) if your franchise won three superbowls in a row, all of your player's AWR would jump to 99 automatically?
Wow that's interesting! Though I don't recall ever winning the Super Bowl three times I'm going have to try that out one day lol
@@skillracoonful Same here in Madden 07, all my guys were 99 OVR with max awareness
Dude I really appreciate this video so true. To this day I still play madden 12 because it’s the last madden to have a real franchise mode. I’ve played through all 30 seasons twice and it’s so enjoyable. For me the draft classes are so awesome because you identify with each player as if they are real. The pictures are real even if they are just photo shop versions of bad players. As you said the mode has so much detail. Its not without its flaws like some players are white when they’re portraits are black and vice versa but that’s rare and the progression style is messed up. The solution is not hard if they cared. Literally copy the formula for madden 12. Give 30 years of draft classes with real photos. Make the players accurate to photos. Fix progression so it’s more performance based. Then add in better gameplay for modern times. I personally like the interface from 12 but my favorite was madden 08 on ps3 with the titantron look.
Madden 11 is my all time favorite
Peter Griffin I never had a console but I had a wii and that was the only game I played

I need the front and back loading of contracts; restructuring and converting contracts; 5th year options and varying bonuses ( signing, workout, roster). Great video!!!
Madden 12 was so much fun. Me and my friend used to play 2 player on the same team and would have a ton of fun pancake blocking people with a FB and clearing a path for a big run.
thank you so much for posting these I love them
Sad that I grew up with late PS3 early PS4 Madden but I’m glad that I had 12 to play. Played so many hours on this.
Not Only all those Features you forget and HONESTLY....it’s one of the best ...when your best players HOF worth retired there was a hall of Fame page where you could go back and look at there stats and the awards you won w them ..build a legacy immersions baby!

right, they didnt have random draft classes, so you could just look up a guide and see what every players ratings and potential were and it wasnt exciting at all
Madden 08 and 09 were my childhood, this brought back so much nostalgia
PS2 was definitely the golden age of Madden games! I miss the way Madden use to be. The franchise mode was fantastic. The preseason position battles. I remember the small details that would be in the game. Like in practice mode. They actually wore practice Jerseys. It was so immersive. Madden looks great now, but sadly that's all it has going for them.
I think this is a perfect example of what happens when a company has no competition. EA know that with that exclusive deal they can throw out any old game and it well sell, simply because there are no other "NFL" games that can be made. Plus without the NFL rights there's no reason for other larger game companies to jump in and make a game since the return to investment won't be there. Mix that in with smaller studios and their restrictions in budget and talent nothing can come close to a great functioning football game. Great video as always man.
great game and great sound track. I love replaying madden 12 because it was by far the best recent franchise modes especially with create a team and importing from ncaa. Always hated the trade logic and how players under contract just randomly became free agents, but other than that one of the last great maddens
I still play madden 12 on ps2 and I just made a franchise where I relocated every team and I'm taking it one year at a time. We need to keep this (#NFLDROPEA) alive
I still play madden 12 and will never buy a new one. I just love creating custom players and teams to compete in tournaments or insert into franchise mode. When 13 came out, literally every feature I mentioned disappeared. Fuck that. I never gave a shit about ultimate team. 12's gameplay is "chunky," but I honesty prefer it over the floppy look of the newer games trying to be realistic. The rosters had most of the best players of the last decade and you can add whoever you like. 12 is the most updated madden that counts in my mind.
Also I loved the thumb stick power and finesse moves on defensive line. Me and my brother drafted a DT named Steven Twilly and he was basically a super Aaron Donald. We still talk about that even today.
Bro you are always on point. Great Video.
While ea makes an ass of themselves over there, I'll just be over here... still playing NFL 2k5
im getting a ps2 soon to experience all the goods NFL/madden games
Lol! Amen😝
NFL 2k5 is still best nfl game ever made
This makes me want to cry and I'm 25.....
I used to love this just because they showed the stadium in the menu before you went to play the game, that’s literally the reason I love franchise so much
I love watching your videos and this was the game a grew up playing so I hold this on high pedestal and love this game. If I had the chance to play the ps2 versions I would but this game holds a place in my heart
Exactly why I haven't bought a Madden since Madden 17
Now we can't even play madden 17 i tryed it crashed cause no ea servers
Madden 12 was the best madden of the last decade and the last good madden. Everything about this game to me is amazing. The presentation, commentary, physics, graphics, AI, was all fantastic. Soundtrack was good too, only thing that sucked was superstar mode which they could’ve done without
I still play M12, one thing I didn't see mentioned was in Superstar mode, when I simulate a playoff game, it will sometimes have me lose a game yet I still advance to the next game. For example, I'm in the WC round, I'll simulate the game, and it displays the final score, let's say L(23-33), yet I still advance to the next game. If I back out, reload the game and do the same, it sometimes even posts the same score/results, but I actually have lost the game without advancing. That's really my ONLY knock on this game. Great video, by the way
This felt the most realistic with a natural gameplay. Now everything is getting picked off and players are just to elite on the video game. 2K come help them out
You forgot to add Madden 12 had dymaninc attendance. Weather, record of the team, and time of year would be a factor on what the attendance would be. For example if the 1-11 Jaguars were facing the 2-10 Browns then no one would show up.
That was Madden 11 actually. I can't fault EA for removing that though. NFL forced EA to remove that.
As said above, nfl forced madden to remove dynamic attendance from the game
Good video. It would be nice to see you make a retrospective on every Madden (or at least starting with the PS2 ones).
Never stop doing these football game videos bro 👍🏽
Hands down my favorite Free Agency mode. The bidding war on the clock made you feel like you really had to target specific players.
I spent hours on Madden 12 create a team and miss it more and more every year. That's one reason I like 2k, it's fully customizable and you can even upload logos and uniforms to use in the game. It's a shame EA went down this path and even sadder that I don't think it's going to change anytime soon.
I remember as a kid this was my first ever Madden game. I played Madden 12 and really did not realize just how bad the series got after until several years later. I never had Madden 13 but from everything I heard..... Yeah, awful. Then I decided to buy Madden 25. So, how much did I like Madden 25? I played a few matches, checked out some of it's features and wondered why it was a lot worse then Madden 12. So then I just stuck with Madden 12 until SEVERAL years later when I eventually got a next gen console in late 2017. I decided to pick up Madden 18 because I figured that it would be cool and I saw that it just went to a new Engine and got a new story mode called: Longshot. I personally really enjoy playing Madden 18. Plus I experience like ZERO glitches. It's frozen like once but that's it. For those of you wondering I either play the regular Matchups against the CPU or, what I do most of the time, play as my awesome QB in custom Franchise mode. I was disappointed that I couldn't be Field Goal kicker but, it's alright. Now, in 2020 I am still using Madden 18 and have not upgraded to Madden 19 or 20. From everything that I've seen online, Madden 19 and 20 are both extremely buggy and glitchy. Also almost the exact same as 18. I am expecting to buy Madden 21 as it is most likely the last Madden game on this generation of consoles. Maybe Madden 22 gets supported on both this generation and the next generation of consoles, but that's no guarentee. I hope you all enjoyed my little story that I made here on my history with Madden games. If you liked it I would appreciate a thumbs up so more people can see this lovely comment. Anyways I hope you all have an amazing day, Goodbyeeee.
I didnt liked madden 18 either. Madden 12 was great. Had also madden 25 but it was not as good. Just hooked up my xbox360 again with madden 12.
I have three Madden games. Madden 07 Hall of Fame Edition with John Madden on the cover, and Madden 11 both for PS2. I have Madden 25 for PS3. I play those games on my backwards ps3, and while I like both Madden 07 and 11 for it's features from franchise mode to create a team/player etc., I was disappointed that Madden 25 didn't have all those features anymore and instead have connected franchise, NFL Network online news, and EA Sports online. None of those features interested me that is why Madden pretty much went downhill after 12. EA Sports seems to care about making profit from the newer consoles instead of improving the gameplay on the current consoles and Madden is no exception. I would love to give Madden 12 a try on my ps3.
Thank you for this excellent video! I really enjoy this channel. It truly is a shame to see how far the Madden series has fallen since the PS2 days. To be honest, I am not sure why they had to throw away the PS2 Madden engine to begin with. I may have to resign and accept that Madden will never reach the levels that it did during the PS2 era ever again.
same, just like nhl ea, its a shame to see how far nhl series has fallen off hard since 2k nhl passed away, since, ps4 and xbox one, nhl will never ever reacts the level that it did during ps3 360 era ever again, i cant accept that. i cant let it go.
That's true! The NHL games certainly aren't what they used to be either! What a shame! During the Xbox 360/PS3 era, the NHL games were EA's best games!

Nice video I wanna play madden again. Can you do a video on the best current gen madden?
I remember on one of the last NCAA titles, I took a player through college and went to export him and it wasn't an option. Like what? For years, I would create a player in NCAA then export to Madden. Not having that option anymore really turned me off from the EA Madden/NCAA franchise. That and Franchise mode taking a massive dump.
This is the last Madden I owned, been updating 2k5 ever since. Smh
2k5 is probably top Madden
How does one get a modern or even an NFL roster from the past few years onto 2k5 for the PS2?
@@Negative28 I have Flying Finn's NFL 2k5 editor so its just a matter of updating every year.
This was the last Madden game I really played. One thing I remember is that the game was clearly trying replicate pressure from the defense leading to an inaccurate throw. But what really happened was that if you were hit while throwing the ball, it would just go to straight to the nearest defender, sometimes defying physics. Made it so much easier to throw interceptions in a game that is already know for unrealistic interceptions.
I loved creating my high school football team back in the day, along with the other HS teams that I played. And fictional HS teams, like the Japanese mana Eye Shield 21. I got so much use out of the create a team. I haven’t touched Madden since they got rid of it.
Solid video. Great Job
Thankyou madden 12 is the goat I loved it played it everyday
RichKhale Not even close to the goat. All the PS2/Xbox versions are better.
I had a Wii-U with Madden 13 on it. Really enjoyed it. It was different than the PS3/360 version. It was essentially Madden 12 with a roster update. We bemoaned that fact at the time as Wii-U owners, but in retrospect I think we lucked out. I had no idea how bad Madden 13 was on PS3/360.
I love the fact that you can save highlights from games in this
I thought I was tripping for loving this game so much. Now I see I wasn't alone lol. Love madden 12.
Madden 12 was on ps2 aswell. I think the ps2 version had all the features in madden 08.
Yeah after a couple years on the ps3 they kind of gave us the same game on ps2 every year
Madden 12 on PS2 was so good
The only thing Madden 12 on PS2 had lost from Madden 08 on PS2 was the classic teams and it gained the fight for the fumble mechanic from Madden 10.
@@TheNewChevyRoll48 I never noticed that. Then again I haven't had the ps2 version for years.

Great video! I also really enjoyed madden 11 on ps2/360. I think its because Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels
Between 11 and 12 when they switched the tackling systems was the decline of madden. Madden 11 was the last good madden.
I agree. I got into Madden 11 a couple years after playing 12 alot. 13 has great gameplay, but no fantasy draft makes 11 better in my opinion.
Also i still play ps2 madden games and just manually update the rosters every few years
thanks for the link to the original post
This is the only madden I have right now. Found it at a thrift shop and am loving it. It’s making me get back into football again.
Madden 25 did not allow you to upload a player from the heisman road in ncaa 14. You can however do draft classes from the franchise mode in ncaa 14 however.
Bro. Everytime I turned on my 360. I played this. This was my first madden besides madden arcade 2009. Superstar mode was so great and I loved it. There was a difficulty called "custom" that could allow you to put up over 100 points! EA please make better games again. I always made teams, Jerseys, and stadiums. Franchise was the best thing ever. I always used to be mad bcuz teams would win my player would always get a better offer from a different team in franchise😂
This current Madden really isn't bad. A lot of steps in the right direction this year, I wouldn't say it's good yet but it's definitely not terrible
tdrivers1102 AGREED
I want to be NFL commissioner just so I can revoke EA's rights to Madden and instead give them to Microsoft Studios
Wtf would Microsoft do with it? Microsoft doesn’t make games.
