@@NTE_ Check out the 1993 roster and uniform mod by 2kfootballnow: th-cam.com/video/70m2I-fw5xU/w-d-xo.html might make for a fun second video. The game gets easier as you play it. Throwing is the biggest challenge because unlike madden you can't drop back 50 ft and throw off your back foot. You have to let the game drop back for you
The throwing animations aren’t slow. You can’t just launch the ball from any position like you can in Madden. You have to plant your feet in this...like in real life
You don’t have to plant your feet to throw the ball in real life though. Not defending Madden just pointing out that there are a lot of plays where QBs don’t set their feet and are still pretty accurate.
@@owenstephens7634 only the really good QB's are able to do that and in the 2K game some players have that perk to throw on the run. But for the most part the best throws made in the NFL are made when the QB plants their feet.
I think he was attempting to throw to the right with a right handed QB that was running to the left.. Absolutely EVERYTHING about that animation was about as perfect as you could hope for from a video game
This was the first game where I was legitimately pissed that EA had the exclusive NFL license. The GAMEPLAY of 2K8 is actually better than 2K5. It's just all the NFL/ESPN features of that game made it so iconic. But yes, in terms of FOOTBALL GAMEPLAY...the AI, the physics, the responsiveness...no game has been better than 2K8 in that you never felt cheesed and if you made a mistake, it was your read or your missed hole on a run, or you trying to user the wrong defender too much. Some of the folks that have replicated NFL logos and teams on there have been amazing.
Esko Laukkanen at 5:26 the running back trips behind the line of scrimmage. A DE runs upfield and past the rb without trying to tackle the rb. Two defenders hit the rb as he’s stumbling. One gets a tackle animation while the other gets a missed dive animation. The rb breaks both tackles as he’s stumbling and picks up 50 yards. It’s definitely not broken 😂😂
Colton Yet it still plays better than every football game that’s come after it. If that’s the best moment you can find to complain about then you must be miserable most days
Dommy Darko there’s other plays in there too. People like it better because people grew up with it but it still has the problems every football game before and after it has had
Not Mick Blotters a lot of what you said about Ryan is not true. Can you blame him for complaining a lot? Madden is arguable the worst marketed game in the last several years.
@Not Mick Blotters Because he's passionate about the football gaming community, and he along with every respectable customer wants an actual simulation football experience, and we will keep talking about it till we get it. It's not our fault you settle for mediocrity, and don't want to actually help change.
I can't believe the player movements look so realistic! For a game from 2007, the weights of the players and the "gravity" they have are top-notch. Nice work 2k
Man look at 8:55 the tiny detail of the animation of a defender doing a tiny hop over a receiver dive catching from a game over a decade. This is why EA needs to lose the NFL license.
just imagine if 2k made a game like this with overall ratings, random teams/logos, college football league structure, and recruiting....... Edit: wow this is a lot of likes.. yall wanna start a petition??😂
It would be the greatest football ever created and the highest selling. Whatever brand, big or small, is able to make that happen will have their legacy stamped in the gaming industry for generations to come. 💯
Holy shit these animations are actually pretty good. Also, glad you’re playing random football games again; these were always my favorite kind of videos
If I recall properly, it's been a while I might be incorrect if you get all the achievements for the game it allows you to get 5 abilities on your gold players
honestly one of the best games i've ever played. recently a friend gave me his PS3 and the first thing I did was order this game, it JUST came in the mail today so this got me hype 🤙🏾
The different levels of NCAA youtubers: 3. Perram Crowe taught me how to beat the game. 2. TNJ taught me how to live the game. 1. NTE/Drew taught me how to love the game. And in doing so, Drewski taught me how to love life. Thank you Drew for your dedication and commitment. Your content always brings me a smile.
I remember one time in madden 09, one of my favorites, I was running with Thomas Jones for a 65 yd TD, and right on the 20 yard, he started limping grabbing onto his hamstring. Was out for the rest of the game, but made it to the end zone. It was so awesome.
Im so happy you're playing all these random sports games man if it makes you happier it makes me enjoy the videos even more cause i know your heart is in it
Forgot how awesome this game is man. Truly the G.O.A.T. of simulation football. Btw if you really wanted to go full out with the all time UGF/DVSU gimmick there's an APF editor mod thingy that King Javo made. Even adds in a whole franchise mode somehow
The player movement, models, body sizes look so much better than Madden. Even the QB planting his feet. I'd buy an XBox next gen if I could play this with backwards compatibility.
Gotta love that football games over a decade old have better gameplay than current gear madden. And that games from 15 plus years ago have a more robust create a team mode....because it actually has it!
This is alrwsdy a much more comfortable NTE. Im here for the memes. I appreciate the NCAA series but I could tell it took a toll. I love the refreshed NTE.
NTE, liking these new videos, but also liking that you've not completely gotten away from UGF or DVSU. It'd be nice to see it like 2 or 3 times a year with all the new stuff too.
I think one of the things that really sets the 2K football games apart from even the best Madden games is the camera angles. You'd think that just showing the player the whole field on every play wouldn't be a hard concept to nail down, but for some reason EA doesn't seem to be able to grasp it.
As a big fan of the Dingoes, hearing you commentate from the receiving end of some iconic Dingoes gave me a great sense of how absolutely terrifying peak dingoes must have been to play
You can tell that he is used to playing Madden because he drops his quarterback so far back because he doesn't realize all pro football has a pocket for passing the ball. Madden is more arcade.
I can’t wait to watch this & hope you do a series. Would be the first time I’ve watched every game of a sports teams’ season since the pandas were a college football POWERHOUSE. Still think UGF was paying players under the table, but that’s a 30 for 30 in the making I’m sure.

EA Sports, take notes
sN Seal this is a different 2k now. They would simply fill it wit micro transactions
Joe Honest yeah probably but I still wonder what the game would look like
Ben Brown yes
It’s amazing how more natural the player movements look to Madden
Its unbelievable how inept ea is. Its 2020 and how much money do they have? Madden shud be damn near like vr.
Because it's not all scripted bullshit.
Surprise it's all-time UGF vs all-time DVSU
I'm all UGF, when you went to DVSU it was like seeing Bill Parcells at the Patriots for me

That turf slip animation at 5:25 is godly...

Love the one offs on obscure sports games Drewsky. Plus they have more humor than the usual simulations. Glad you’re mixing up the content👍
NTE: I’m done with UGF and DVSU...
Also NTE: Welcome back to the Pandas and you Dingos
At 6:25 I was so shocked because the CPU running back actually used that block perfectly. That’s something you’d never see in madden
Just watched RyanMoody21’s 2k vs Madden 21 fade route vid
Every year he does it lmao

Seeing APF 2k8 makes me so exited for football season. I can't wait for the day 2k will be able to make another football game.
I’m laughing at the fact that this game is so old but has better animations and celebrations then madden 20😂

@@kingsavagebruh147 madden since 2010

I don't think it's possible anymore right? There were online achievements and online's shutdown isn't it? I could be thinking of another game though.
I would love to see one full season on this game, the animations on this game are better than any Madden game
2k came up with the superstar stuff more than a decade earlier than madden smh
💯💯💯
I can't believe how smooth this game still is
Bro it's SO good to see you smiling and genuinely enjoy yourself in a video, no matter the content. Keep doing ya thang
Greatest football game ever from a gameplay standpoint
This gameplay is what people have been wanting from madden for years.
Miss the “but more from them at half time” for some odd reason...
The UFOs vs the Hyenas
Something’s not right, I can feel it
The hailmary incompletion in the end zone was incredible and satisfyng.
ATL vs LA on the scoreboard, these little details are what is making your videos so good
NTE: We got a glitchy animation!
RyanMoody: *RAGES IN PHYSICS*
The physics in this game look 10x better than the current madden
My friend and I still play this game to this day. Such a tremendous game, loved watching you play it.
He’s seemed a lot happier since he left the NCAA games, it makes the videos a lot more entertaining
Wish we could have seen the GOAT himself take a fb dive 3 yards like the good old days. Awesome video regardless
Excited to see the retro games back!
I’m so happy to see Drew having fun playing games again
Lol I literally watched 3 plays of this video and the gameplay, tackling, qb scanning the field already looked better than madden!
honestly one of the best games i've ever played. recently a friend gave me his PS3 and the first thing I did was order this game, it JUST came in the mail today so this got me hype 🤙🏾
"i cant do pandas videos anymore"
"lets make a UGF video"
I would love to see a series of him just messing around in this game
Holy hell those tackles look amazing.

Even in a different game, the Dingos reign supreme! Great video!
I was cheering for the dingos so there way! Cause that's what got me watching your videos. Rough you had to play against the GOAT Evans.
It’s amazing how the animations in this game are 5x better than Madden 21.
NOW THIS IS NEXT LEVEL CONTENT!! Finally one of the goats chimes in on the the GOAT of football gameplay!
I just started a new season on this in 2024 and I’m having some of the most fun I ever had playing a season on a football game.

Makes you wonder: Why isn't this backwards compatible
That is a question I periodically ask myself.
because madden is a monopoly and doesn’t want people to realize what’s out there
@@cobapl5987 dude no sports games are backwards compatible in general lol
@@jahseekijoslyn6424 well they are now
@@gyui1091 What are you referring to, exactly?
I gotta say, this game has WAY better tip reactions than Madden does.

I love seeing his passion in his videos

when the rb slipped my jaw dropped...why cant we have this type of reality in NEXT GEN football🤦🏽♂️
4:34 literal seconds of gameplay and I'm like wait wtf that guy came from behind for the tackle so he fell forward how hard is that EA?
The animations and the real player motions in this game is amazing
Would love to see more of this game. Never played it either but I’ve always heard it’s the best pro football game ever.
Gotta love that football games over a decade old have better gameplay than current gear madden. And that games from 15 plus years ago have a more robust create a team mode....because it actually has it!
This game looks SOLID and I like the classic gameplay style. It’s always a good time watching your videos man!
the names of the Panda greats brings back so many memories 🥺
This vid just gave me an idea! Since you want a fun way to have the dingos and pandas play each, try blitz think that would be gnarly

That jump cut at 8:01 has never been done in Madden - they wouldve did a ugly ass pivot turn on the same foot
Difference in physics based vs animation based(madden)
Drew: Tyler White is my quarterback.
Kevin Davidson: Am I a joke to you?
Maybe I am the only one but I would love to see more of this game.
You're NOT the only one.
How did dem physics feel? Another great video!!
Animations made in 2008 that legimately look more realistic than Madden 21 has.
The animations of the players and characters on the sidelines DURING the play does wonders for making the game actually seem realistic
Am I the only one with an emotional attachment to these teams and miss these guys like they were real?
The way one on one tackling looks in this game is simply unbelievable for a game from 2008
Need more videos of this game for sure!
You can tell that he is used to playing Madden because he drops his quarterback so far back because he doesn't realize all pro football has a pocket for passing the ball. Madden is more arcade.
This is better than madden in almost every way. The mechanics are incredible.
Been waiting to see if you would do this video for a while now. So excited to finally see it!
Should definitely do a season series on both teams. We’d appreciate seeing actual simulation football compared to now from over 10+ yrs ago.
I low-key hope you never drop the "welcome back to the memes" intro, because that is so NTE lol

If you make a gold HB that's max height and max weight with speed burner, workhorse, and anything else he'll be unstoppable
Please make this a series on APF 2K8
Better movement animations than any madden ever.
Glad to see you having fun playing what you want, man!
Just when I thought you were dead you bring me right back with the 2k football.
