While most people had moved on to the PS2 generation at this point the PS1 was still holding strong and getting the yearly Maddens. Obviously inferior to its bigger brother I would still say it is about as good as you can expect PS1 3D football to play. I think even with the load times it outpaces the N64 version in fluidity.

I've put a great many hours into the N64 version of this one but this is the first time checking out the PS1 edition. Its largely the same at least to me with the exact same strengths and weaknesses you expect. (N64 load times, PS1 has more space for voice lines but has texture warping etc.) It could just be an anomaly of this particular matchup but it seemed like the D-Line had some kind of cl...

Still in the weird 2d-3d transitional phase but a true upgrade over the previous year. It's hard to really show in a video but this game controls super smooth. I was very impressed with how good it felt. Enjoyed this one quite a bit.

Always wanted to check this one out for being such an oddity. A halfway stop between 2d and 3d makes for an interesting looking time capsule of a game from a time where the transition between consoles was still a little shaky. Now is it *good*? I'll let you decide. If nothing else it's worth checking out for the novelty.

My understanding is that after 95 this series continued on Saturn and came back to genesis after it kinda bombed for this iteration before finally becoming the NFL 2k series. History aside, this game really didn't do it for me. If this is a certified classic for you I don't want to run it through the mud but for my experience this one despite having small gameplay ruling corrections ultimately ...

3rd iteration in this line from Sega Sports and I still can't throw the ball. However the defense never saw this one coming: Off-Tackle handoff. Was it cheese? Absolutely. I was not gonna have a third week in a row getting absolutely smoked though. Overall I would say that this one was kind of a step back from sports talk though. It's a fine game but by this point in the game this series had lo...

If i could figure out how to pass this game would be fantastic. Every other aspect about it is so cool, but throwing the ball feels impossible. It vastly improved over 93 in every way except the passing game. Is it me, or is it a known problem?

You ever just try to play something and nothing you do works? That's what happened here. It's really frustrating too because deep down I can tell this is a technically impressive and well made game, I just can't figure out how to make it do what I want. Absolutely a skill issue but I just couldn't figure this one out.

Little something different today as we shift into some arcade style baseball. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about this one but the more I played and the more used to it I got I started to really enjoy it. I got smoked sure but still had fun getting the feel for it, will play more in the future for sure.

Anybody juiced for NCAA 25? I know I am. Good news is though if it turns out to be a steaming pile we always have this to fall back on. Under the hood its NCAA 14 but this mod team has done a phenomenal job keeping the game updated with rosters and stats filling the void for the last decade. I can't detail out how to play it but there are a ton of very good tutorials out there to get this up an...

Hooooly, how did we go from the best football game on the system to the WORST in one development cycle. This game is beyond bad. You have to manually change the graphics settings (on a console game!) to get it to a playable framerate and even then its still absolute garbage to slog through. So disappointing especially after how good 99 was. It's so bad I didn't want it to take up the slot this ...

What a huge step up over 98! This was a really fun experience overall and stands up as one of the best football games on N64 to date. My only real gripe is that I wish I understood passing a bit more. Serious question, how do you not overthrow the receiver by 20 yards making every pass play a diving one handed catch? No matter what I tried that was always the result but maybe that's just how th...

And here we have the winner of the "Least Effort Possible" award. This is just a roster updated for 2001, everything else good and bad is exactly the same. Even the play by play commentary is recycled. The only new addition to speak of is the Mulligan System which as it sounds lets you redo any down for any reason up to 3 times per game. I used it to great effect this game but there is no denyi...

Another whacky finish to this one, stick around for shenanigans. Ultimately while graphically superior to madden in very single way, the gameplay just didn't hit for me. I was expecting more explosive offence but what I found was really bad run block AI making a ground game really difficult to establish and passing the ball felt random. Not to mention every incomplete pass becoming a tip drill ...
