Don’t forget the fact that your stats and accolades from college (NCAA 07) would transfer over to your madden player. The announcers would talk about how great you were at whatever school you went to. This is the greatest madden game ever
I think this is the one that let you import the draft class from NCAA too, it felt like you were getting next years Madden early with the updated rosters
@@12Legendary12 because old maddens were just good. New maddens lack all the good things the classics had removed for brain dead greedy reasons. As for being a kicker, I only did it a couple times but it’s more rewarding to end a game in the final seconds on a game winning 40+ yd field goal.
This was my most played madden of all time. 06 was my first but I wasn't all in on it like I was in 07. I totally forgot about some of this stuff, like the card book. I can't even remember if I played the superstar mode or not. After watching for a minute I remember superstar mode. I remember those terrible drills haha. I forgot this is what video games used to look like, and we thought it couldn't get much better
For real man the PS2 era of Madden was one of my favorites to play superstar mode. I don't have a PS2 anymore but will be getting one soon hopefully one day I'll have one again
@@esfunkytown9926 It was yea. I believe that from 2000-2014 was the best time ever in football. That helped the games be better, also it was a more simple time back in 07, before all of the attention went to money and online play. I do have a ps2, I just need to find my madden games haha
06 had this dope franchise mode where you beat legendary teams. Then you have to beat superpowered teams who would use cheats against you all the time. It was so challenging but rewarding when I was 11. I spent so many hours climbing the tower.
2003, 2005 and 2007 are my most played years of Madden. 2003 was my first, but it's hard to go back to without the features of 07. 07 is by far my favorite as well.
Fun story I made a QB in NCAA 07 and imported him. Won the Heisman all 4 years and was a 99 overall. Madden made me a 70 overall and made my black QB white. He was a dual threat but they took all my athleticism. I got drafted by the Browns. Was automatically made starter. Had an AWFUL rookie season throwing only like 10 TDs and a 20 INTs. Finally unlocked the workouts and grinded them until I got my overall up to like 85. Kept demanding trades tanking my reputation to no avail. All the teams I got offers from were worse than the Browns somehow. Ended up extending with the Browns. Played for them for like 10 years winning a Super Bowl in my final contract year.
I bet coach madden had a big part to do with why the game was a lot better when he was alive man… he loved football and the game showed during those years
They remove features that don’t make money. You’ll never see them remove Ultimate Team, because there’s a handful of saps out there that will drop thousands of dollars on it every year.
@@N0TYALC exactly right 💯. 2k is starting to do the same thing with the myteam and the cards and shit. Shame. That's why I still play NCAA football 07 on ps2 and Madden 07 every year. Still so much fun and better than the last several maddens 💯
I’ve always told people this was the best madden to date, it had the hit stick on defense and the juke stick? something just like it on offense to make crazy plays. Players had special abilities, you would check to see if your name was in the newspaper, create players/teams and put them in a tournament play or sim it. The cards were so innocent, before EA realized they could milk every player on ‘Madden ultimateteam’.
I had this game for the Wii, and the motion controls were super fun. I spent so much time playing this game's Superstar mode. Upgrading your apartment, getting into the performance center, seeing the new art you got every time you got another achievement. The most fun of any Madden game I've ever played.
I did go to the PFHOF in 2018. We went for the introduction of Brian Dawkins getting inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the 2018 class! Along with Ray Lewis and Urlacher. Such a great day, one I’ll never forget 🙌🏻
I went to the NFL HOFame 3 months ago on NFL draft day . It's truly a beautiful sight. Took pictures of all the Giant HOFamers. They have walls of summaries from the 1920's to present time. Also got to see Von Millers SB worn Jersey and Cleats. If you never went, you need to see it at least once. Hopefully I can see Cooperstown at some point of my life.
these old school madden games have a thing called precision passing where you can angle your throws by moving the left stick in the direction you want according to the throw strength as well so that's why the passing drill is as hard as you made it
I was ranked #1 in madden 24 superstar mode, and nothing compares to the nostalgia of the older maddens. I remember being in my room, feeling locked in to the game. Great video💯
Hype for this. Would also like to see a series for Madden 12, as I think that’s the best Madden ever. Maybe a fantasy draft or a “cupcake” team franchise.
M06 and NCAA 06 are in my top 5 video games of all time. Todays kids will never know the excitement of transferring your ncaa legend to madden superstar mode. Fun times 😄
Man I loved that main menu interface how depending on the favorite team you chose it would rotate showing three in-game still pics of the three best players on that team
I haven’t been to the pro football HOF but madden 07 and ncaa 07 had some of the best features when it comes to games like this it is so unique to the many possibilities you can make for your career. Also if you play NCAA 07 and import the player you can get a better agent faster than normal
I love how you chose the parents then your name that’s exactly how I’d do it as a kid 😂 wait til my dad said NFL legend then name his last name after an 80s legend lol
I remember cheats growing up I’m 18 now they legit had books that had cheats from thousands of games or cheats inside the case I miss cheats especially for rpg games where you could be overpower af
I live in MD and I’m a Packers fan so we’re taking a road trip to Green Bay and stopping at colleges along the way, as well and the pro football HOF and Rock and Roll HOF
it would’ve been absolutely hilarious is he actually put a link to like the military sign up thing in the description in place of the link to get drafted to the nfl
I have no idea why this video was ever even recommended to me because I have never even seen this channel or searched for Madden on TH-cam before but I’m so glad to see a video that confirms what I’ve been saying since this game came out. It’s the superior Madden and this superstar mode was just so fucking good
hey bengal its been years but im just saying whats up, used to play alot with you on edit leagues on IG years and years ago, so cool to see you doing so well.
The bronze cards were for one play , silver 1 quarter , and gold for the half. Went on a long weekend roadtrip to Canton , Cleveland ( Rock n Roll HOF) , and Cooperstown about 20 years ago.
I loved the Superstar mode in madden 08 but the best Madden cards has to be Madden 02, you’d even get HoF players to unlock and sign in the Franchise too, crazy times
Madden 23 was my breaking point. All these years of buying new maddens are over for me. I bought an OG Xbox and this game a month ago and it’s the most fun I’ve had playing a madden game since I bought this game brand new in 06 when it came out lol.
I have been saying the Superstar mode from this game is easily the greatest mode in any Madden. I loved how you could become a movie star in your free time
If they remade this game with updated players, improved graphics, slightly more realistic physics, and some QOL tweaks to the superstar creation (choose parent backgrounds, choose house, etc.), I would buy it so freaking fast.
talking about memory cards brought back so many memories and so many created college QBs on ncaa 07 that got lost every night until my parents bought me a memory card 😂
Best mode ever. I made my guy a wide receiver. My dad was a pro bowl burner and my mom was a sprinter. I was drafted by the chiefs and had like 5000 yards in my rookie year. I blew by everyone and had so many big plays. It was so lit I miss this game so much.
My first madden too. On the wii! I would make a career as a fullback you could be a 99 rated rookie. I would always get mad that they wouldnt run me until the end of the game. I would spend the whole time blocking loll. I miss those days
I remember this one perfectly I had it on pc back then, when you made your player you get to pick what your parents did for a career 🤣🤣🤣 best sh ever 😭😭😭😭
Don’t forget the fact that your stats and accolades from college (NCAA 07) would transfer over to your madden player. The announcers would talk about how great you were at whatever school you went to. This is the greatest madden game ever
I use to love ncaa/madden for that feature
I think this is the one that let you import the draft class from NCAA too, it felt like you were getting next years Madden early with the updated rosters
@@filibertodominguez8036 Every madden had that feature up until 2015...after Madden 25/NCAA14 the feature was gone
Factsssss
Those were the days, man. Madden has fallen so far
This mode was so so good. I’d sit there just waiting for my dad to be a HOF HB WR or QB with my mom being an Olympic sprinter or track star
HoF dual threat qb and mom as a sprinter was so rare and so fun.
bro that build was so bomb
That was a potential combo? Really? Jesus christ I never knew lmao
@@chainz983 yep hahaha
Ong!!!! That was the best!
I miss old Maddens so much. You could play ANY position. Making those game winning field goals just felt so satisfying.
Lol but whyyyyyyy
@@12Legendary12 because old maddens were just good. New maddens lack all the good things the classics had removed for brain dead greedy reasons.
As for being a kicker, I only did it a couple times but it’s more rewarding to end a game in the final seconds on a game winning 40+ yd field goal.
No no… why a kicker 😂😂
@@12Legendary12 you asked the same question twice. When it was already answered to begin with.
It was so fun being a kicker or punter
I recently replayed madden 08 superstar mode on ps2 and it was some of the most fun I've ever had. PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES GENE
The nostalgia. The menus, the soundtrack, the presentation. 07-08 were Madden's best years IMO.
This was my most played madden of all time. 06 was my first but I wasn't all in on it like I was in 07. I totally forgot about some of this stuff, like the card book.

Lmaoaoaoaoaoaoa oh nahhh
Mad concerning how much madden cared about their game compared to now. These were the GOAT maddens
I bet coach madden had a big part to do with why the game was a lot better when he was alive man… he loved football and the game showed during those years
This shits so cool. I can’t BELIEVE the game was this immersive *14 years ago*
It's crazy how they have removed features over the years
They remove features that don’t make money. You’ll never see them remove Ultimate Team, because there’s a handful of saps out there that will drop thousands of dollars on it every year.
@@N0TYALC exactly right 💯. 2k is starting to do the same thing with the myteam and the cards and shit. Shame. That's why I still play NCAA football 07 on ps2 and Madden 07 every year. Still so much fun and better than the last several maddens 💯
Bro same, I emulate them on PC now, but I loved playing these games on OG Xbox
They remove them and put them back in newer maddens like it's a new feature lol
N that they bring back features w new names lol
Damn, ruthless with the backup BB mom 😂😂

I like how the Wii version was the same as the last gen versions
Damn as soon as I saw the apartment, the nostalgia just hit like a ton of bricks 💯
This was my childhood. The create a team, stadium, and even fans, along with that unbelievable superstar mode! Man this game was truly an all-timer.
I did go to the PFHOF in 2018. We went for the introduction of Brian Dawkins getting inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the 2018 class! Along with Ray Lewis and Urlacher. Such a great day, one I’ll never forget 🙌🏻

This is gonna be an awesome blast from the past 🔥
“Generate a new set of parents, easy as that” 😂
I actually did enjoy that...this was like prime madden years for me I was In my early 20s I played 07 and 08 religiously while on house arrest lol
Damn
Madden 07 is my favorite Madden *period* everything about it just worked so seamlessly.
these old school madden games have a thing called precision passing where you can angle your throws by moving the left stick in the direction you want according to the throw strength as well so that's why the passing drill is as hard as you made it
When you said this was your first Madden, it made me feel old.
Lol Madden 99
I was ranked #1 in madden 24 superstar mode, and nothing compares to the nostalgia of the older maddens. I remember being in my room, feeling locked in to the game. Great video💯
This game and this mode is what got me interested in football. I played on GameCube. So much nostalgia.
Hype for this. Would also like to see a series for Madden 12, as I think that’s the best Madden ever. Maybe a fantasy draft or a “cupcake” team franchise.
‘07 & ‘12 are the best maddens tbh. still have copies of both
bengal having too much fun with one of if not the best madden ever you love to see it. great video, wouldn't mind a 07 franchise whatsoever.
M06 and NCAA 06 are in my top 5 video games of all time. Todays kids will never know the excitement of transferring your ncaa legend to madden superstar mode. Fun times 😄
I loved this game. Superstar Mode was so in depth
Arguably one of the best maddens of all time
Franchise mode in the ps2 versions, especially madden 05, was so much fun. Crazy how they regressed and does not address franchise at all
Why would they? MUT is their cash cow because people are stupid enough to keep playing it
Yea, this was by far my favorite superstar mode. Hope this becomes a long series.
They need to bring back super star mode like madden 07 had it
Man I loved that main menu interface how depending on the favorite team you chose it would rotate showing three in-game still pics of the three best players on that team
I haven’t been to the pro football HOF but madden 07 and ncaa 07 had some of the best features when it comes to games like this it is so unique to the many possibilities you can make for your career.
Also if you play NCAA 07 and import the player you can get a better agent faster than normal
I love how you chose the parents then your name that’s exactly how I’d do it as a kid 😂 wait til my dad said NFL legend then name his last name after an 80s legend lol
I remember cheats growing up I’m 18 now they legit had books that had cheats from thousands of games or cheats inside the case I miss cheats especially for rpg games where you could be overpower af
My first madden as well I'm so glad you covered it! I've been preaching the choir of the older maddens lol 😆
Used to binge play this when I was younger around 13-14.....up all night....so fun
Hey Bengal!! I love these older games so much! How’s your day been?
Went to a Giants game in Cleveland. Next day went to the Football HOF. Cool seeing the HOF Busts
I played this on the GameCube! I love madden 07 definitely a legend game
My favorite madden all time. I loved this superstar mode so much! You definitely need to make a series on this
Going to canton is by far my favorite place I’ve ever been. Been a football fan for at least 15 of my 20 years of existence
I live in MD and I’m a Packers fan so we’re taking a road trip to Green Bay and stopping at colleges along the way, as well and the pro football HOF and Rock and Roll HOF
it would’ve been absolutely hilarious is he actually put a link to like the military sign up thing in the description in place of the link to get drafted to the nfl
Wowowowoowowow. 14:58 that's the best pocket passing drill IMO
When you said his dad was Joe Montana and were hovering over the H, I was thinking you were going to name him Hanna Montana lol.
😂😂😂😂
I grew up playing madden 07 on the wii 😂 and i still play it today
I have no idea why this video was ever even recommended to me because I have never even seen this channel or searched for Madden on TH-cam before but I’m so glad to see a video that confirms what I’ve been saying since this game came out. It’s the superior Madden and this superstar mode was just so fucking good
This is a amazing video can you please show us how to download their is litteraly no guides on TH-cam
This brings back memories of playing in the "tv room" with my cousins all surrounding a small tube tv taking turns playing games for our player lol
hey bengal its been years but im just saying whats up, used to play alot with you on edit leagues on IG years and years ago, so cool to see you doing so well.

use to be my favorite madden literally love this game. played on my gamecube was so fire
These games on next gen were awesome
Love this, lets see more PS2 madden content!
Madden 23 was my breaking point. All these years of buying new maddens are over for me. I bought an OG Xbox and this game a month ago and it’s the most fun I’ve had playing a madden game since I bought this game brand new in 06 when it came out lol.
Pls make this a series!
This is my personal favorite Madden. I didn't play 10-16 but this game is absolutely amazing. Puts face of the franchise to shame.
this also was my first madden, i had it on the original xbox and the wii. greatest time of my life. that and nba jam 05
I have been saying the Superstar mode from this game is easily the greatest mode in any Madden. I loved how you could become a movie star in your free time
U see they brought back superstar mode for madden 24
The Counting Crows cut away killed me😂
If they remade this game with updated players, improved graphics, slightly more realistic physics, and some QOL tweaks to the superstar creation (choose parent backgrounds, choose house, etc.), I would buy it so freaking fast.
WE NEED THIS SERIES BENGAL
Ncaa 07 dynasty to franchise and road to heisman to superstar were elite. Doesn’t get better than that.
Ps2 strictly if you didn’t know
U should make this a series
It would be so cool to see you open football packs (irl) again. I enjoyed your pack openings.
I still play this era madden & ncaa football on my PS2, can’t beat em
Where is the NFL draft signup sheet? It’s missing from the description.
Please do this series
This is a certified hood classic
Madden 2000 was my first, I think 03-07 were the best maddens ever, but could just be a nostalgia factor for me
Yo this is gonna be a series!? Let’s go!
Should make this a series tbh you know we all would eat this up
Half this video gonna be in the next Bengal funny moments vid on Bengals Burner. These clips are killing me😭😭
I love playing my Madden 04 09, NCAA 04 and NFL 2k5 on my PS2
Bro, you've gotta try Madden 03! Best madden ever! They had create a play! Where you could ACTUALLY create a playbook and formations from scratch!
Im pretty sure you can do that in 07 as well.
Watching someone play those combine mini games made me so happy
talking about memory cards brought back so many memories and so many created college QBs on ncaa 07 that got lost every night until my parents bought me a memory card 😂
Madden 07 is my favorite of all time you gotta do a series
Bro your content is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love outta pocket Bengal moments. What a god man
please make this a series i would watch this!!
this needs to be a series
F.ing awesome game, this was everything in my childhood
The cell phone being a Motorola just makes this game so perfect
This game was prime madden. I miss these days so much
Madden06 with the player genetics was next level
Best mode ever. I made my guy a wide receiver. My dad was a pro bowl burner and my mom was a sprinter. I was drafted by the chiefs and had like 5000 yards in my rookie year. I blew by everyone and had so many big plays. It was so lit I miss this game so much.
Now we might get it back...
My first madden too. On the wii! I would make a career as a fullback you could be a 99 rated rookie. I would always get mad that they wouldnt run me until the end of the game. I would spend the whole time blocking loll. I miss those days
Top-tier Bengal content
I can’t wait for this series which will be a series
I remember this one perfectly I had it on pc back then, when you made your player you get to pick what your parents did for a career 🤣🤣🤣 best sh ever 😭😭😭😭
Bengal, do you play ESPN NFL 2K5?
3:24 "Daddy chill" 😂
My favorite madden of all time. I still remember getting it for Christmas in 4th grade.
