I was literally reading the title like

"that's the one with mike vick on the cover, yeah that's when it really started"


I liked 05 more, thats when they put in the hit stick, but yes. that was the game of the year in 2004, sorry dumb fukking nerds.

it's understandable that foreigners dont respect madden, but nobody was calling people gay for playing japanese games. that is ridiculous.

I saw this thread and thought... that's the one with Vick on the cover

I like how you posted your own tweets at the end there.

Madden 2004 was fire, all those games were deserving, but the idea of prestige gaming was right on the money. There were games we held in high regard, but it wasn’t really these games yet.

Madden 04 was arguably the biggest sports title release in terms of importance to that point.

NBA Street Vol 2 should of made the nominations that year

Vice City should’ve won GOTY, we just didn’t know Vick was abusing dogs.

Madden 04 Vick is the 2nd final boss football character after Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl.

Zoomers have no idea how debased 00s culture was. In 2003, every single one of those games with the exception of Madden and GTA was considered "gay" and you were also considered "gay" for playing them.

The way gaming nikkas talk about sports games lowkey be rooted in racism
