The fact that I still go back to NCAA 14 nearly 10 years later and would rather play that then Madden says a lot.
NCAA 14 actually came out in 2013 so it has been over a decade and I also play it because Madden is dog tird
Good to know I share a similar opinion to someone who passed ECON 100 only 8 years ago!
Yo softdrink is a legend, whatup bruh 👍

Speaking of Madden soundtracks, I'm still not over losing the NFL films music.
“Josh Giddey subquests” killed me
Remember madden 07-09 career mode where you actually had things to do outside the game like pick up acting or sponsor events and it had weight to it cause sometimes it would conflict with practice?
It's been so long since they've had the replay classic football scenarios features that I don't remember what it was called or when they last had it.
Madden moments baby, I miss them
For college it was ESPN Instant Classics! Such a great game mode!!!
MLB The Show hasn't been the same since MLB 10 The Show.
Franchise mode had post game news papers the ability to pick your team's bank, channel, sponsors and the option to promote your players in the news, radio. TV. And to buy upgrades for team facilites and your stadium and most everything else you could think of in terms of running a team was there. But now is just a dumbed down version of it's former self.
And the soundtrack is so nostalgic i found Silversun Pickups because that game.
Sulversun Pickups slapp
The MLB 2k soundtracks were always great too
YO BUS JIBBER REFERENCE
Even the highly praised games like MLB the Show have been slipping for years. It really sucks the direction these games have gone, but profit profit profit.
Card collecting modes changed the way sports games developers look at the consumer. They don’t need you to spend full price for a game anymore to stick around with a great game and buy the next one, they want you to gamble.
At this point, we have to boycott these games to force change.
Great analysis Will
Fight Night Champion has an incredible soundtrack.
Even more incredible??
Its only 13 years since that game released.. and counting
That Built to Spill live set tho....Broken Chairs is exquisite
Damn didn’t think anyone would spot that
Not even just stick and ball type sports. Racing games have also gone downhill severely, with almost every racing game coming out being mediocre at best. It’s sad
In regards to the issue of career mode interruptions. NHL Be a Pro is so fucking bad with that. Its an 82 game regular season schedule but you cant simulate 3 games without being stopped multiple times by pointless interactions. I just want to play the game and put up points, not answer between Team player, Neutral, and star.
This dude spittin
Super Mega Baseball is the best active sports franchise right now, so good
The King with another upload, thank you!
Brooooo, I need you to make a career in the bigs 2
Lmao the HOF drive has be rolling
Maybe I’m biased but I really do feel like Sony Studios nail baseball far better than Madden gets football right.
Edit: As a caveat, I don’t play Diamond Dynasty. I get so much enjoyment out of RttS just by grinding it. I don’t take part in micro transactions.
This might be a hot take but I think the NHL franchise has gotten better. Sure I miss some of the game modes from 2014 but anyone who acts like the games got worse probably isn’t remembering how simple it was to score goals with slap shots in 14 it was pretty much automatic
Def not a hot take, just a correct take
I agree with the gameplay - especially goalies. It feels more like hockey (which is really hard to simulate). Also, franchise mode is solid - especially with the add of roster sharing and full customization.
But, I feel the presentation has gotten way worse. There’s no pregame intros. Game 7 of the SCF and an exhibition feel basically the same. Also, the commentary is pretty rough.
@@marcragusin947The addition of Snoop Dog ruined the commentary. It was really exciting when I first got him as a guest commenter but when you have to listen to his guest commentary 3 times in 5 games you want to blow your brains out.
I also agree the presentation for sports games has gone down across franchises. I can't speak for 2k but everything else has gotten so much lazier
Just waiting on Mutant Football League 2 at this point.
The first new sports game I've bought in the last ten years was the new EA PGA Tour game. I was more or less happy with the gameplay but appalled by the microtransactions. And I know that modern Madden and 2K are even worse.
I turned 35 this year and I honestly feel like gaming as a whole has just passed me by. Not just sports games. I can't stand the current business model meta with loot boxes and microtransactions and carrot-on-a-stick battle passes and "seasons" or whatever they are calling them these days.
I know that I sound like a bitter old "back in my day" boomer, but as someone who spent their formative teenage years on the PS2, GameCube, and OG Xbox, I dont unserstand how anyone with even an ounce of objectivity can look back and say that the medium hasn't devolved into a smoldering trash heap.
With how easy it is to get games like 2K5 and NCAA 14 running on emulators and the fantastic job the modding community does in keeping those games alive, I'm more than happy to sit back and watch it burn.
I’m only 25, and I agree with you ENTIRELY. Too many Video game companies sold their souls to the devil. Super mega baseball is a great new game! Very underrated!!
Backyard baseball is more immersive than suck ass madden.
Hi Will. I don't play video games but I am partial to Westing by Musket and Sextant ❤
Box Elder is a great tune
Madden hasnt been worth af since 2013ish... and you all know why
Even before that. Madden 08 for ps3 is probably the worst game I’ve ever played
@blackscreen1810 actually smoking crack but go off
@@jeremytherocklobsta gameplay is honestly as bad as new maddens
Man, to say nothing else about the video, the current fad of inserting CONSTANT roflmao clips and memes every 1.5 seconds is so grating. My attention span is longer than two seconds, and I want to keep it that way.
Given that title this had been be a skiing or a snowboarding game ;-p
ive got most maddens. the first one on DOS in box. early 90's on snes. then all the ps1 and 2. still play modern maddens on my buddies ps5 and yes, the games were better back in 90s and 2ks
The Chapo boys getting some spotlight, love it. Shout out to all those reproduction heads in the comments ❤
If you just play franchise in mlb the show its a very good game
Ur a mfin legend btw
You’re the real king
Madden went downhill after they let go of the support for the original Wii (2013). Not saying the Wii was the reason, but Madden 25 (2014 installment) was a mess as soon as the Xbox One came out.
Madden 13 was worse than 25
The TikTok generation doesn't have the attention span to create their own teams, stadium and plays and shift through scouting and signing contracts.
love the content, fuck the broncos GO RAIDERS
13:55 I’m convinced they got rid of it because they didn’t like Trump… and were lazy but that gave them an excuse to be
i would love to watch will suck at fifa
Nhl, madden, nba2k, and fifa are all borderline criminal with the pay to play aspect in their ultimate teams/myplayer
Mlb the show is the only game to do ultimate team correctly. It’s the only one where you truly do not have to spend an extra dime. The only game where they company isnt gouging pockets for people to barely stay up to date.
Super mega deserved the props you gave it. I think that game’s customization is the perfect benchmark for any third party game to build itself off of.
Bring back Tony Bruno!
FIFA is ass as well these days
They are the exact same… you just aren’t young anymore. Has Christmas gone down hill too?
Since my wife left me, yes.
@@willsucksatgames sheesh that’s tough. Sorry to hear that mate
You obviously don’t know what was in the old sports games.
