Updated Version of my Madden Evolution and History Video. Song Used throughout video [NFL Theme Song Remix - Musicalitybeats Link to Channel: / @musicalitymusic ]
I feel like it will be at least 5 more years until a Madden game is even worth buying. And when will they implement some sort of branching storyline elements to career mode? It's so boring just ONLY being on the field and that's it. Why not allow us to have our player have their own personality? Why not include press conferences where you can choose different answers to the questions that you're asked, which shapes the sort of reputation you become known for having as a person? Bring back some of those fun mini-games where you'd actually do the workouts during the combine as an entering rookie. Remember when they had that? You did the bench press reps, the broad jump, and the 40 yrd time. Bring back the parents' backstory feature that was used to help shape what traits you, as a player, might possess that could set you apart from others at your position. Bring back that radio sports station feature where, if you did well that week, you can tune in and the radio hosts are mentioning your name, your stats, and any big key plays you may have made? And for the love of Buddha can I PLEASE be a kicker in career mode? Some of us actually enjoy the concept of just being the kicker of a team. Hell, even a punter. I would honestly love to play a full career as a kicker. I find that concept fun. If EA were to make one Madden game every 3 years instead of every year, they'd be so much better, have much more depth, and would just be overall more fun. And every new Madden wouldn't feel like last year's Madden with slightly updated animations and textures.
+Hi I'm Alan I agree dude, they could put so much more effort into these fucking games, all they do is add a new mechanic, polish up the graphics and bam another million copies sold!
i agree let on be punter and kicker i want to be a punter to easy for wr and to boring on cb seem fun to be a kicker when that 1 FG to when the game... i think i should stop but you get it right anybody?
John Madden Football 2004's motion graphics when it comes to the running aspect of the game looks so much better than today's Madden. The best feature ever created in a video game was the addition of the play editor. How I miss those days.
Top 10 Madden Games: 10. '98 9. '94 8. '04 7. '98 6. '05 5. '13 4. '99 (new age of graphics, completely changed Madden at the time) 3. '16 (Only because of draft champions, in my opinion the best Madden gamemode they've made yet) 2. '15 (Really the birth of madden, the real true start of ultimate team) 1. '25. (Just, hands down the best madden game. Don't argue with me on this one.)
when they showed madden 94 it was bills Vs the giants, it had a the endzone as bills, and then on the field a NFC logo and the NFL logo then another NFC logo. how could that be possible? maybe Superbowl? if so the there should of been a NFC AFC logo.
Liam Luvai yeah you can choose what the default is, whether it's kicking or receiving, I'm saying I hate how they got rid of the on the field coin toss where you can call heads or tails and then pick kick or receive. Sometimes I want kick, other times I want receive.
I've played every Madden since Madden 97 and ik for a fact that Madden 97 did NOT look and sound like that. This video is in 1080p and everything looks like it's in 144p.
Nope. You're looking through rose colored 2k glasses, and not remembering it's many faults. I know the madden hate bandwagon likes to jump on the "2k5 is the greatest" bandwagon like lemmings, but you guys are not rational. It was better than madden 05-07, but it ends there. There were good things about 2k, but also a lot of bad.
I hate it when people say the latest madden game sucks. Be grateful, pre-2000 they looked tragically bad. It'll never be a perfect simulator, its just a game at the end of the day.
True, the only thing madden is missing is a "my career" like game mode where they allow you to make your own decisions, partner with companies, communicate with teammates, basically like 2ks my career but football.
From Madden 99 - 2012 I played NFL 2k serires, thats how pathetic Madden is, no wonder they spent $300 Million for a 5 year contract in 2004, it was the only way they could beat 2K EA wasnt too happy when the NBA didnt offer an exclusive deal, and we all know what happened then, 2k total domination
I put over hundreds of hours into Madden 12, and Madden 16 is quickly catching up. As a game, 16 is definitely fresh but it can't beat 12. 12 just had everything on point, it was a masterpiece.
Truuue, I miss those extra miscellaneous features they had in the older games. In that case, how do you feel about 08 though? That was a pretty good one as well.
gotta agree i love madden 12 build a superstar connected franchise and everything else it was a masterpiece. 16 is great too but my all time favorite is 06 the first true modern madden imo. i liked 15 a lot too
While it may have evolved graphic wise, my 95 catch rating players refuse to catch the ball, my 96 RB fumbles 2+ times a game, and I find myself returning to madden like a drug addict returns to crack. No matter how much it hurts, keep going back.
Dang I miss madden 13. It was the most fun madden ever. I remember I could jus use one play and put up 100 + points on people online ranked all the time. Dang how fun that was smh😔
This guys playing it on the wrong console. Madden 05-07 looks like shit on this console. On my GameCube they actually looked good to play and they were good.
As a big fan of Burress when he was in Pittsbugh i still think he was a lil too good in these Madden's but thats what height and some speed will get you.

I hate how Madden Mobile 16 looks just as good as Madden '99
Why?
its a Phone game ? ? ? wtf do yu expect?
Southside Holdin better graphics. NBA 2k16 on the iphone shits on madden mobile
Madden mobile looks a little better than 99
+That_guy madden mobile is 03 with no face graphics
I feel like it will be at least 5 more years until a Madden game is even worth buying.

i agree let on be punter and kicker i want to be a punter to easy for wr and to boring on cb seem fun to be a kicker when that 1 FG to when the game... i think i should stop but you get it right anybody?
so when are you going to have a job at ea on the Madden branch?
so when are you going to have a job at ea on the Madden branch?
2:08-2:12 2:16-2:18 Sounds more like a full fledged fistfight than a game of football.
😂
Lol

The sound fx in '94\'95 still send chills down my spine
Omg that music from madden 2013 brings so many memories back.
i still have madden 99 xD its crazy how video games have evolved
Madden 07 for Wii looks just like Madden 06 for the better consoles. Madden 10 for Wii was a huge step back and looks like 99.
Nice video but you shold've talked about draft champions in madden 2016 and new connected franchise in madden 2008
Madden 25,15,16 are my favorite. I want madden16 :(
I like madden 15 graphics and textures but M16 faces , wishing for an amazing m17!
Madden 10 for the PS2 was the best to me!!!
Great video madden is awesome
I loved 2009
it was this one madden when everyone had the same head

I agree with your number one, M25 on 360 is phenomenal
***** Exactly, finally someone agrees with me on that lol.
TellyTubbieArmy Do you play connected franchise?
***** No, I did a little in '13, but I stopped because I found it boring.
TellyTubbieArmy Are you gonna get '17?
OMG THE MICHAEL VICK FALCONS WERE BEAST MY DAD HAD THE GAME AND I REMEMBER HOW FUCKING GOOOD THEY WERE
Some of the really old ones seem to display information better than the new ones.
Resource allocation is much different now.
Excuse
Wow. I wish madden 09 was still popular 😂😂
madden 04 with Vick and 07 were the best imo
1:30 what game also had those sound affects for tackling? Bugging me so much... plz help me out
'Membe Madden 1989?
Yeah! I 'membeee!
Madden 2004 sounds are the exact same sounds that are in Madden Mobile
Me encantan los MaddenNFL....! por mi fuera tenerlos todos (desde el primero) Como quisiera ser Norteamericano :(
The guy who made this video must like the Broncos
Madden 17 should be Charles Woodson it would look so hard
Madden 16 is the best they just need to add more animations
Madden 93 is BY FAR THE BEST!
Madden 06= best game ever
It was rushed.
when they showed madden 94 it was bills Vs the giants, it had a the endzone as bills, and then on the field a NFC logo and the NFL logo then another NFC logo. how could that be possible? maybe Superbowl? if so the there should of been a NFC AFC logo.
the newer madden games suck ass. I wish nfl 2k was still alive.
The graphics are blurry on pretty much every game. In all reality the games looked much better then they do on here
Why was Odells real catch in Madden 16 but not 17 and 18?
did they really call vick superman? 0.0
SUPERIOR I heard that bullshit also if Vick is Superman than tyrod Taylor is the flash
It's suppose to be not that blurry
I can tell this guy doesn't like Seattle
Who else remembers when the Michael Vick Falcons were Gods
me
back when Vick was the flash
I'm sure every Madden fan remembers that.
+Jon Luisi If only they kept him and Brent Grimes.
Back on Madden 7
I really hate how they got rid of the coin toss calling.
Same here
Yea
same
they didn't. in the setting u can choose what u want
Liam Luvai yeah you can choose what the default is, whether it's kicking or receiving, I'm saying I hate how they got rid of the on the field coin toss where you can call heads or tails and then pick kick or receive. Sometimes I want kick, other times I want receive.
Madden 12 is the best madden installment of all time.
+Wade Matthews madden 12 got boring really quick tho
Agree until 2013 2014 2015 and 2016
Madden 2002 brings back so many memories on my GameCube
Right!
Madden 1990 gives me memories since Thurman Thomas was unstoppable.
I have it I just found it today by my old cbix
I have it I just found it today by my old Xbox
Found my xbox my gamecube and my play station 2
I've played every Madden since Madden 97 and ik for a fact that Madden 97 did NOT look and sound like that. This video is in 1080p and everything looks like it's in 144p.
Soviet Re4per Hes on the snes version of madden 97 I think, you probably played the ps1 or n64 version of it
madden 11 them hits was nasty 😎 I use to hit sick alot
espn 2k5 is still the best football game ever made
This
Yea true
That's where madden got the ball hawk idea from for the interceptions
Nope. You're looking through rose colored 2k glasses, and not remembering it's many faults.
I know the madden hate bandwagon likes to jump on the "2k5 is the greatest" bandwagon like lemmings, but you guys are not rational.
It was better than madden 05-07, but it ends there.
There were good things about 2k, but also a lot of bad.
+King SoHo. And the NFL implemented ideas that the XFL came up with. That does not mean the XFL is better than the NFL
madden 05 best
I loved creating my own plays
True
08 bruhhh
I think madden 2011 - 2016 where best
Mr. MattWho u don't know what is best
98 and 99 is a big improvement
13 has the best last gen graphics
Madden 13?
+ben prunty are you that stupid?
+Tyler G that's what he put dumbass
TheHayd Master Hi, I'm on my brother's account and I noticed you said this. He's just a little kid so stfu.
+Tyler G Fuck*
Madden 07 is my favorite madden of all time Becasue it was my first madden I ever played and not to mention it was the first game I ever got
Cpower 03 me too lmao :)
I hate it when people say the latest madden game sucks. Be grateful, pre-2000 they looked tragically bad. It'll never be a perfect simulator, its just a game at the end of the day.
True, the only thing madden is missing is a "my career" like game mode where they allow you to make your own decisions, partner with companies, communicate with teammates, basically like 2ks my career but football.
It's funny seeing john elway as the qb in 99 and now he's a legend in mut 17
whats weird is that the broncos and panthers were the 2 worst teams in madden 12 but in madden 17 they are probably gonna be the two best
True
No Denver sucks in 17
Since they lost Peyton and QB's effect OVR the most
there great in real life VON MILLER THO
Ok, so whats the weird part, Im mean ive seen a team go from 3-13 to 13-3 in just one season, 1998 and 1999 Colts
Maddens lucky back in the day because they dont got phil simms anouncing the game
Haha at 8:43 when Michael Vick got the ball it said "And Superman Takes The Snap!"
I'm only buying it this year so I can use the L.A. Rams.
From Madden 99 - 2012 I played NFL 2k serires, thats how pathetic Madden is, no wonder they spent $300 Million for a 5 year contract in 2004, it was the only way they could beat 2K
EA wasnt too happy when the NBA didnt offer an exclusive deal, and we all know what happened then, 2k total domination
Raymond Jones u sound dumb 2k said they werent making a football game.Plus there to diffrent bussiness cant comepare them stupid
I put over hundreds of hours into Madden 12, and Madden 16 is quickly catching up. As a game, 16 is definitely fresh but it can't beat 12. 12 just had everything on point, it was a masterpiece.
Except for good graphics I liked 09 the best even tho it had shitty graphics too loved to do the mini games and franchise
Truuue, I miss those extra miscellaneous features they had in the older games. In that case, how do you feel about 08 though? That was a pretty good one as well.
gotta agree i love madden 12 build a superstar connected franchise and everything else it was a masterpiece. 16 is great too but my all time favorite is 06 the first true modern madden imo. i liked 15 a lot too
to play the superstar game mode on 09 was amazing, doing the random movie scenes and working out and getting new houses
+Quinn Ring my favorite madden is '06 as well
Old Madden in the 90s omg had it on Sega then Madden 99 on N64
Who remembers Bo Jackson in Techmo Bowl?
madden 16 better graphics than irl
3:50 sounds like a guy screaming
Seeing the M09 clip makes me want to get it again and spend countless hours updating the rosters. That was my favorite Madden.
madden 2010 that was my game! !!!
While it may have evolved graphic wise, my 95 catch rating players refuse to catch the ball, my 96 RB fumbles 2+ times a game, and I find myself returning to madden like a drug addict returns to crack. No matter how much it hurts, keep going back.
Madden 01-06 ps2 glory days
1.best gameplay
2.most fun
3. Most trash talk
Madden 06 xbox 360/PS3 -now. not the same game EA got lazy no comp!!!!
Dang I miss madden 13. It was the most fun madden ever. I remember I could jus use one play and put up 100 + points on people online ranked all the time. Dang how fun that was smh😔
Was I the only one secretly watching porn on my PS2 instead of playing Madden at 10 years old LMAO😂😂😭
In my opinion Madden 96 was the worst !! what's yours??? greetings from Buffalo NY
Madden 11 was the best
I like The Madden NFL 2003 Song And Madden NFL 94 Song And Madden NFL 95 Song Too
Madden 92' was personal. Much ass was whipped on that game for Sega.
You could replace the last 8 minutes of the video with a toilet flushing in super-slow motion for a more accurate depiction of Madden's "evolution"
I remember Madden 05 on my GameCube. First Madden with the hit stick. Damn that was so much fun.
This guys playing it on the wrong console. Madden 05-07 looks like shit on this console. On my GameCube they actually looked good to play and they were good.
When I was on my GameCube 05 and 07 were my life especially 07 the hall of fame mode was my favorite
I remember playing Madden 13 on my Wii and that Lil Wayne song would always play and the other song that was featured during the ad.
I feel bad for the players that ended up on the Madden cover and got the Madden curse. (except for Calvin Johnson, he ended up breaking a record)
damn, madden 03-06 were childhood memories, madden 10-13 were memories to remember growing up :)
Been playing since 04 baby lets get it madden 17 we ready for that ass haahaha!! Go Raiders!
That awkward moment where you realize the 2004 in game commentary was better than that of 2016
As a big fan of Burress when he was in Pittsbugh i still think he was a lil too good in these Madden's but thats what height and some speed will get you.
Watch out he's dangerous when he's in open field! And he loses the football! xD
Video does no justice to these games the graphics of the older games were def. better than portrayed in this video
not me because well first of all I'm thirteen now and than I didn't even know about the nfl.
I miss playing Madden 2001 and 2002 on my Grandparents DreamCast
2003 is the best.
The radio commentary, what the hell were EA thinking, was so shit.
Downloading maddens 02-08 for the dolphin emulator
lol back in màdden 04 I made mine Vick so OP LMAO 😂😂😭
I should really get madden 25 because you can get Barry Sanders.
I like how madden made the giants clutch that was the wrong choice that was the exact opposite what the were this season
Madden 12 is the best plus it has Peyton Hillis on the cover #lifeofabrownsfan
5:45 Russell Wilson making plays before he was drafted lmao
Madden 08 was the madden i remember playing as a kid on my psp best Madden in my opinion
Games started to become crap as soon as they removed John Maddens face off the front cover
07 the goat
nothing what all those games look like, due to terrible quality
5:45 Russell Wilson played back then? :P
Russell wilson is a QB lol
+taprmanmc Ikr? That's what I said in my head. "What the balls..."
Madden 98 voices sounds like someone yelling into a empty room
In 1995 ever wished the Bills were not going to the super bowl
David Dallas- Runin is from FIFA 14
Madden 12 First time a Browns player is on the cover
