The Decline of Madden(Warning:This is sad and hard to watch)

[MikelArteta]

Off the top of my head there was NBA Live, NBA 2K, NBA Shootout, NBA Street

MVP Baseball, MLB 2K, The Show, MLB Slugfest

Madden, NFL 2K, NFL Gameday, NFL Blitz

yup also microsoft, sony used to have their own version of sports games

Like Microsoft had
NBA - inside drive
NFL - NFL Fever

also for baseball there were stuff like rbi baseball, all star baseball

competition is always good if not you have games with andrew bynum at center court

IB4 that Madden groupie from the Arcadium comes in here like a white knight.

1. 2k is stalling at this point with that NFL arcade game
2. I'm hoping that Maximum Football 23 game is what it says it's gonna be, because too much time has passed and Madden has gotten lazier and lazier along with FIFA now EA FC

Visual Concepts used to make Madden games before 2000 when they fired visual concepts and went to garbage ass Tiburon and the series died.
2k hired Visual Concepts for football and basketball and the rest is history.

I remember EA Sports prez saying they can charge 30 dollars for the game and give it away with a ham sandwich it wont change anythign, and 2k5 came out and they said fukk competition we got to buy the rights to stay alive.

So yeah fukk EA and Tiburon and their shytty madden games, they are trash and they have done nothing to improve madden. They literally add broken features and re-introduce said "features" every 3 years as new features.

Tiburun started from ex employees at visual concepts and they took over madden in 1996. I remember nfl gameday 98 being way better than madden 98, then madden 99 they brought in the franchise mode. NFL 2k5 was 19 dollars if im not mistaken and that led to madden paying all that money for the exclusive deal fakkits

HAVENT PLAYED MADDEN IN DECADES.

2K WAS ALWAYS BETTER.

JUST ANOTHER bytch MOVE
BY THE NFL.

NFL Fever was dope as well, was the first football videogame you could have like a 50overall qb and throw for 40 tds and next year he'd be rated a 90

hell look at this

The solution is really simple.

DONT BUY THE FUKKING GAME.

Stick with madden 23, do not buy madden 24 no matter what EA says.

But nikkas got no thought control, and therefore, no self control.

I don't feel sorry for anyone contributing to their own unhappiness.

Madden 2004 was my favorite

Vick cover

Soundtrack was fire

Thats dope, but I hate how the uniforms didn't get dirty.

 

[VegetasHairline]

All of the best Madden games were on the PS2/360.

 

[MikelArteta]

rememebr when you could create formations and plays in madden?

then madden got scared and took it out because of how broken their games were

i had an exotic blitz that I would always get a sack
