    It's no coincidence that Madden 08 was a great game. That was the year they actually had competition (All Pro Football 2K8). Competition brings out the best. We desperately need an alternative.

    • @EricRayweather

      Saying it was great because of 2k8 isn't really true. Madden had been great the past 2 years without competition, some would argue 06 & 07 were better than 08. Madden was just in their golden era at that time.

    Damn bro I got so much to say.
    First off yes Tecmo super bowl is what started it all. Think how insanely deep that game was with full stats And teams real players it was bonkers. As for Madden, 10 was my favorite overall. Hand down the best Madden. And game day the original for PS1 was amazing. The graphics coming off the 16 bit era was ground breaking. The same kind of excitement for when I first saw NHL for Sega genesis.
    But I remember getting the 360 and paying extra to get the 360 on release date cause the Madden cut scenes looked amazing, but boy was I disappointed. And tbh I never once played 2k 05. I know I heard it was amazing but I always stuck with Madden through the years. And when 2k came out Madden was at the top of their game. Great video bro - I love your channel man Keep up the great work and START THE COUNT DOWN FOR MADDEN 20!!! Fingers crossed it's what were hoping for!!!
    It's great to see they're are so many people like me that just play sports games.....it's all that matters!!

    The amount of time I spent playing Madden 05 on my PS2... So many hours, so much fun. This was the ultimate NFL experience and has not been surpassed yet. Madden 04, 07, 08, 2k5 were close but there's just something about Madden 05.
    Also gotta give a shout out to Troy Aikman football. That game was so ahead of its time and played so smoothe for the time. The first NFL game I played where I finished a season and man what great memories.
