Hey bro please please please bring back another Seamen playthrough. I'm so invested. We saw the draft and were left wandering what if.....what IF Bus Jibber took them all the way home
@@briancromartie3149 yeah i finally went to my first college game and holy crap the atmosphere was just electric. I’m an fsu fan but i live in central florida. Well they had a bowl game against Oklahoma here in Orlando. Man being in person for the tomahawk chop was just amazing.
It’s the last time most of them play for the love of the game. Once they hit the pros, it’s all about money and showmanship. They have little to prove.
Still play that game. Took over Indiana State and won four titles in a row as members of the SEC.3 min qtr, Heisman mode. Went 56-0 🏆🏆🏆🏆 wasn't easy the first yr though vs Bama.
Back when both football video games, and college football itself were both truly special. Sadly, I can’t say the same today about either. But the memories will never be forgotten. ❤
@@CoolHandLuke813 I’m with you on some of it . But the nil will eventually get some type of rules put in place to get it under control. Other than that I think college football is fine . Still way better than the nfl
@@billythompson3647 That’s what I keep hearing. I keep hearing that NIL will eventually settle in and then everything will be okay. I hope so. Because right now it’s really causing some problems. I also have doubts that it will get better but believe me, I hope to god you’re right man. NIL isn’t the only current issue though anyway. The playoff is really killing things too imo.
Facts at least do NFLN, CBS, FOX, or NBC. I’m glad MLB the show at least had MLBN as an alternate broadcast graphic for their game. I’m glad I still have this game though
@@moldy-mold hopefully EA Sports doesn’t screw NCAA FB ‘25 unlike their Madden counterpart. Reasons I still have classic madden games, even if I have to play them on old gen consoles. Still better than shitty madden 23 on ps5
I'm playing NFL 2k4 and quite enjoying it. However, can someone tell me whether or not Madden 23 has a practice squad you can stow players away on? That's a feature I've never seen in any game til Madden 15, which is the latest Madden I own
Just picked up a 360 the other day, got UFC undisputed 3, NCAA football 11 & NBA 2K8. Oh, the nostalgia. They don't make games like that anymore. I'm only 28, I might sound old but I'm trying to tell you, I'm more happy with the older games than I am the newer ones. When passion and heart actually ruled the gaming universe, opposed to paper chasers 😂
The intro gave me chills. That was my first ncaa title and I played just nonstop and bought every title since and also previous ones. I don’t own a ps3 anymore but I still own all of the ncaa games for ps3. Being from Russia where football isn’t the most popular sport it was a miracle that I found ncaa football 11. I just started exploring the world of college football at the time and this game made me a huge fan. I am still to this day.
I was a freshman in college when this game dropped. It was my first online dynasty experience. There was a group of 8 that would consistently stay in the league and continue to build our programs. I remember times the league would be maxed out with 12 teams. Our commissioner had the difficulty and sliders set perfectly so playing against the CPU felt like a real challenge. You had to be on your A game because any opponent could give you an L. And the User vs User games were always so intense and competitive. Every win you got was earned and was so satisfying. Recruiting was so much fun too. There’s something about recruiting against other users that when you land that 5 star stud, or have a top 5 recruiting class, can make all the difference and turn your program around. I’m still friends with most of the guys from the league to this day on PSN.
The younger generation got no idea what they truly missed. It's gotta be the bands beating the drums, the college fight/theme songs playing and overall college vibe presentation that resonates with me. WATTBA
Purchased and played every single year from 1998 to 2014. 2006 is probably my overall favorite. But absolutely, 2011 is up there. Top 3 for me. 2011 absolutely had the best intro, hype! Great video as usual sir!
Oh gods that intro… this IS college football gaming. That passion and respect is something that needs to be recaptured for all future games. I’ll still prefer 14 because it’s pass coverages felt fairer as it had too many linebackers in 11 leap ungodly distances to pick off passes, maybe just a skill issue for me though. Also Madden 25/14 works really well, so using it after 14 is nice too. The presentation for 11 though is awesome, my absolute favorite with sports games.
11 was my favorite that I played. I remember buying 12 the next year and went back to playing 11, and I didn't even buy 13. One thing I remember is how smooth the load times and the menus were in 11. 12 was very clunky, and even 14 wasn't as smooth. 11 overall, feels good, and that means a lot.
I remember getting this for Christmas and loading it up for the first time on my 360. Makes me remember being an innocent kid again nostalgia may be clouding my judgment but this game holds a special place in my mind.
before the outro for the EA College football 25 screen loads…. They should put the last sentence when Brad nessler said “The wait is over..College football is here”
I ain’t goin lie the dynasty mode was something else when it came out! It really felt like a Saturday afternoon watching espn college football bro. Good timesss🥲🔥🔥‼️
What a steal. I was looking for ncaa 11-14 at garage sales and Facebook swap and shops for deals like that from moms selling their kids old games who realize some of them were going for a lot haha.
I miss when sports game would have intros. NBA 2k hasn't has one since 2k17 and madden I honestly can't remember the last time they did. Honestly I feel the biggest downfall of NBA 2k and Madden has been the internet, focusing on making it so that you have to play online to get the full experience which sucks because not everybody still doesn't have internet at times. Not it's a requirement to have it when with the PS2. GameCube. You just plop the Disc in and was ready to GO!
I still own this game. I remember when I bought it I knew this would be a classic. And IT IS BETTER than NCAA 14. Ncaa 14 is just hyped up because it was the last one. But if you were playing ncaa games back then, most everyone said that NCAA 14 was a lackluster effort compared to the other NCAA games before it.
Got this game for Christmas way back when on the PS3. So many memories of dumping numerous hours in RTG and Dynasty. Still got it, too! Also have to ask if you'll ever do a retrospective of the UFC Undisputed series or 2012 by itself.
Man thanks to you guys for this great made me go back to play this game for the first time in years. I was looking for it in my house and found it and happy I still kept it all these years 😌
Thank you for giving NCAA Football credit for its amazing presentation. I mean, I hate EA as much as the next person, but I simply cannot deny how much they nailed ESPN integration in the 11-14 era.
The only exception - and this may be a nitpick - is the replay wipe animations are reversed in the game verses how ESPN actually used them in their broadcasts. Which I found weird.
Someone who is playing CFB revamped i love going back and seeing what others NCAAs had. Such a awesome series with so much hope for the next game they are bringing out!
Man I remember my brother and I begging our dad to get us this game!!! Taking turns debating who would ask and what to say to convince him then we got it and had a blast! Great memories man
Some of the most epic dynasty’s I’ve been a part of. We had a group of like 12 guys. All played as our teams. No one cheated with sim. Winner of national title our commish who was amKng artist would draw them a framed picture that was amazing. Gosh so many hours talking recruits amazing time of my life in general. 30 years old. Prime of my life and prime of gaming.
i remember if you threw 2 or more picks in the first half your qb acc would dip but then if you threw for the same amount of td's in the second half it would go back to normal , this is one little detial i liked that i don't think alot of ncaa players knew about it's little things like this that i wish was in madden right now
Man i loved this game i had it on ps2 and ps3. I put so many hours into this game very underrated GOAT status. I hope the next college football game can rekindle that spark.
That was a great college game I would love it if y’all did a video on NFL Fever 2004 I played it almost everyday back then Thanks for having a quality channel
Very nice retrospective on this game. My son saw this game at a local Half Price Books and I got it for him and he loves the presentations this game delivers. I definitely recommend this one for any football gamer out there.
I’m playing in 2023 I literally just won the National Championship against Alabama 17-10 as Penn State in year 3 of dynasty, after getting my tail kicked the previous two years by them.
I remember being a 6th grader and my brother an 8th grader and being so excited to get home from school and play my brother in this game to lose by 70 every game. Miss those days.
this was such a great game, i remember playing this CONSTANTLY from like 2012-2014 back when i still had a ps3 lol. dynasty is broken on the 360, which i have now for older titles, players don’t progress year by year. i’ve been stuck playing 14 for the last 5-6 years, but i can’t complain though lol
My mom found this game at a garage sale in our neighborhood 9 years ago for $1. Since then I have played 2000+ hours on it. Perfect game with flawless intuitive mechanics. Only thing is having to spend literal days editing rosters by myself since the servers are down but this game is just amazing. So many amazing memories playing by myself in dynasties or 1 v 1s with my roommates. Wonderful game that feels as fresh as ever.
I miss my PS3 version and love my PS2 version !!! I remember putting in hours with Auburn and Cam Newton and Russell Wilson and NC State during the latter part of 2010. It was my go-to PS3 game until I got NBA 2K11!! More importantly, the Presentation was on point and the game felt fun and responsive!! I’d say it’s the best PS3/360 version that I’ve played this far

@@TheAussieMericanShowhe does it on twitch
The nostalgia I felt in that intro. Man what a time to be alive.
That and NCAA 12 were great intros. The gameplay could use a little work but I miss EA's intro when they were like this.
Back when football was cool
Hell yea
@@osurocks24gameplay was way better in 11/12 fym lmao
Yes
I don’t know what it is about college football, but watching a game on TV or playing a game of NCAA is truly exciting
It's the atmosphere. The chants, the mascots, the rivalries.
It's because they go all out, they are trying to show and prove,that's why I like watching.
@@briancromartie3149 yeah i finally went to my first college game and holy crap the atmosphere was just electric. I’m an fsu fan but i live in central florida. Well they had a bowl game against Oklahoma here in Orlando. Man being in person for the tomahawk chop was just amazing.

@@SanDzFit well now they get paid now and you can kind of feel that it’s a different vibe now
Fun fact about NCAA 11 on PS2 it was the last time we had FCS teams. So fun to get a FCS team and rebuild them.
Still play that game. Took over Indiana State and won four titles in a row as members of the SEC.3 min qtr, Heisman mode. Went 56-0 🏆🏆🏆🏆 wasn't easy the first yr though vs Bama.
Yessss
App state for me
FCS teams supposed to return on NCAA 14 also.
The whole NCAA Football series was nostalgic

@Luke P how is it bad now?
Knowing they used ESPN presentation on a college football game yet refused to do so with Madden is INFURIATING.

Never played Ncaa 11 but I fondly remember the days of me playing NCAA 12 and 13. Put so many hours into those games and preferred them to Madden

I did the same thing bought 12 and was like nahhhhhh this aint it and returned that shit to gamestop. I did like 13 and 14 tho.
I remember getting this for Christmas and loading it up for the first time on my 360. Makes me remember being an innocent kid again nostalgia may be clouding my judgment but this game holds a special place in my mind.
Couldnt agree more on the nostalgia aspect! Game will always have a special meaning to me for sure!
i still play this game faithfully, such a good game. My best memories were my career mode where i won EVERYTHING you can win at BC.
Shedding a tear literally 1 minute in, this stuff is deep.

I miss the intro cinematic to ncaa and madden back in the day. I can still recite the ncaa 13 heisman one from heart.
Great video as always SD! Time to go find a copy of this for the 360.
Ncaa 11 on my ps2 my favorite ncaa football game ever
Great video as always, I been playing this game a lot lately, definitely a great one and one that is most overlook as they still play NCAA 14 or 06
06 for me
Someone who is playing CFB revamped i love going back and seeing what others NCAAs had. Such a awesome series with so much hope for the next game they are bringing out!

I still play it on Ps2 with my pops to this day
Man I remember my brother and I begging our dad to get us this game!!! Taking turns debating who would ask and what to say to convince him then we got it and had a blast! Great memories man
Thank u for this. This still gets some love in my house. Oh and the replays are still the best I’ve seen in any football game
This is definitely my 3rd most played title. 14, 08, then 11. Loved it.
There is more care and passion in the introduction of this game than in entire games that released in 2022
I picked up 13 recently on the PS3 for about 20% of the price 14 goes for these days. Really great fun
13 was just as solid I wish I had a 360 as well as the newer one
I remember when I was like 9 I gave my friend college football 11 for his birthday. Wish I got one for myself now.
even tho madden was going downhill the NCAA games were still always heat, NCAA 14 is definitely my fav madden game ever
My first college football game ❤
Some of the most epic dynasty’s I’ve been a part of. We had a group of like 12 guys. All played as our teams. No one cheated with sim. Winner of national title our commish who was amKng artist would draw them a framed picture that was amazing.
Gosh so many hours talking recruits amazing time of my life in general. 30 years old. Prime of my life and prime of gaming.
Could literally remake this game just with updated rosters and I’d be so content with life
I still play this game for both systems what a fucking classic
Best intro in the series! I ended up modding it into my CFBR copy
I fuggin love this damn game. I can watch that intro every day to get me going.
The Tackling Animations in NCAA FOOTBALL 11 is really good
i got my first big boy job in the fall of 2011, lived on my own and played this game endlessly after work. so much nostalgia
If that intro doesn’t make you want to run through a wall I don’t know what does
i remember if you threw 2 or more picks in the first half your qb acc would dip but then if you threw for the same amount of td's in the second half it would go back to normal , this is one little detial i liked that i don't think alot of ncaa players knew about it's little things like this that i wish was in madden right now
Dynasty on this game is just about perfect.
Man i loved this game i had it on ps2 and ps3. I put so many hours into this game very underrated GOAT status. I hope the next college football game can rekindle that spark.
That was a great college game I would love it if y’all did a video on NFL Fever 2004 I played it almost everyday back then Thanks for having a quality channel
i absolutely loved this game this is what i think of when i think of ncaa football games
My favorite sports video game ever
I hope you talk about ncaa 07 soon. The game that made me realize Highlight stick was the most op thing madden ever created
These NCAA games were really something back then. It was always a breath of fresh air, and I was always excited for the releases.
Very nice retrospective on this game. My son saw this game at a local Half Price Books and I got it for him and he loves the presentations this game delivers. I definitely recommend this one for any football gamer out there.
Get chills every time with that open!
These old NCAA games were so fun to play. I miss them
NCAA 11 Highly Underrated Fr💯💯💯
I have it on ps2. One of my favorites
Man that intro brings back amazing memories!
I think 12 is very underrated
Oh! I was addicted to this game!
You know what sucks, I got the PS2 version, not the PS3 version. RIP
I had to stop playing it because my players don't progress in dynasty mode. Year after their overall stays the same. I have it for 360
I’m playing in 2023 I literally just won the National Championship against Alabama 17-10 as Penn State in year 3 of dynasty, after getting my tail kicked the previous two years by them.
I remember being a 6th grader and my brother an 8th grader and being so excited to get home from school and play my brother in this game to lose by 70 every game. Miss those days.
this was such a great game, i remember playing this CONSTANTLY from like 2012-2014 back when i still had a ps3 lol. dynasty is broken on the 360, which i have now for older titles, players don’t progress year by year. i’ve been stuck playing 14 for the last 5-6 years, but i can’t complain though lol
Dynasty is not broken on the 360 they progress just fine for me lol
Bought this game brand new it did not disappoint
My mom found this game at a garage sale in our neighborhood 9 years ago for $1. Since then I have played 2000+ hours on it. Perfect game with flawless intuitive mechanics. Only thing is having to spend literal days editing rosters by myself since the servers are down but this game is just amazing. So many amazing memories playing by myself in dynasties or 1 v 1s with my roommates. Wonderful game that feels as fresh as ever.
The level of effort in the intro alone is something I’ve never seen in a Madden game.
My personal favorite ncaa football game of all time on ps2 with the goat Tebow on the cover
I still have this for ps3. Play it pretty regularly it really is an all-time great game from the experience and look of it to the actual play..
It was hard to find any copies of NCAA games here in Australia. Gotta track one down after watching this 😮
Still the best intro of any sports game ever created
That intro still gives me chills to this day.
I agree NCAA 06 is god tier and full of nostalgia for me. This vid makes me want to go back and revisit 11
Keep on doing what you are doing! Your the best at it! I love your content! These games are my childhood.
Best all time in my mind. 14 doesn’t even come close
Still play it to this day. Probably my second favorite behind 14
Road to Glory careers as a edge and MLB in this game were so, so so fun
I remember I gave my Xbox the red ring of death cause i would leave it on all night so I could wake up and play right away lmao
I miss my PS3 version and love my PS2 version !!! I remember putting in hours with Auburn and Cam Newton and Russell Wilson and NC State during the latter part of 2010. It was my go-to PS3 game until I got NBA 2K11!! More importantly, the Presentation was on point and the game felt fun and responsive!! I’d say it’s the best PS3/360 version that I’ve played this far
Love it when sdtv posts a new video
I remember exporting my ncaa class into madden and drafting my college players. Amazing
No cap that intro got me hyped, too bad I’m at work
I still play it till this day
great video, what song/instremtanl plays at the 4:20 mark?
I was a sophomore in high school when this dropped, this was legendary very nostalgic
