A Madden NFL 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers Dynasty // Year 2

[@nostalgicgamer1363]

It's extremely sad how much depth these developers had back then compared to now. Franchise was real life back then. I spent hours in Owner Mode 😢😢😢😢 I just wanted 2k gameplay with madden offseason

[@jessyfretz5800]

It really is. The scouting report with actual scouting notes! And this was 2004 on the GameCube. Cheap smart phones have more power and EA's franchise is straight buns? Bruh...

It was the illusion of depth, and many people continue to fall for the illusion. The games are just based on speed and awareness. There are no meaningful defensive ratings, WHICH IS HALF OF FOOTBALL. No block shedding, Power or fineese moves, separating hit power and tackling, man coverage, zone coverage, pursuit, and play recognition. Nope. Just Awareness + tackle and your physical ratings. Don't get me started on the TRASH draft on the PS2. Nah. Give me Madden 14 & 15 all day every day.

@paulgaither gameplay and features are 2 different arguments..I enjoyed owner mode..finances..stadium upkeep..scouting reports...coach hirings..etc..gameplay was infuriating...superman jumps by linebackers..bouncing off tackles..4th down cheese..and many more

[@PaulGaither]

@@nostalgicgamer1363 That's my counterpoint: PS2 Madden has the illusion of depth. There is no actual depth. Weekly opponent scouting? It is just a bunch of [X player name] is [adjective]. In order to stop him, we should use this [irrelevant play]. Running back? How about QB spy, Cover 4, or Engage 8? Opposing pass rushers? How about curl flat or play action that takes time to devlop? No. Real advice would have been nice. Screens and draws to keep the pass rushers honest. Maybe balanced run blitzes to stop the running game. Acrual depth and things to help people get better at football. No, it is shallow. The draft scouting is fluff, too. If there were meaningful ratings and traits and schemes with honest reports about the players, but not when you kust scout Awareness and Speed and ignore the rest. How about onndrsft day and the TERRIBLE trades offered and the low quality of the draft classes? On my channel, I have some "franchise til it breaks" videos. You can see the bad team building and low quality generated rookie classes, which plunge the league into mediocrity as real-life players retire.

I can’t believe we had this much depth in franchise. The COACHES PROGRESS AND REGRESS. Amazing man.

[@PaulGaither]

Look, the reason Dyn-Chise has great videos is BECAUSE of Dyn-Chise, not because of the video game. Dyne-Chise could make grocery shopping interesting.

[@jessyfretz5800]

I wasss going to get the orange and strawberries, but the BOGO offer on bagged applies was juuust too good to pass up and I needed the cap room to pay for ground beef as his rookie deal is up after this season since we have needs at quesadilla, unless we trade our draft capital for the discounted pork loin before the sales deadline.

[@PaulGaither]

@@jessyfretz5800 - Let's see how the pork loins work out for us at the BBQ... and they are expired. I still regret not signing Brunell in that Raider's franchise.

[@daltonbarentine4663]

So ready for the stream of head coach 09, I still play it regularly to this day

[@jessyfretz5800]

I love how deep that sim is. I had the headset. I was renting in a house in the boonies and would move the furniture, then be as Bill Cowher like as possible when no one was home!

[@SDChargers93]

Man this is much better content than most classic madden channels. It’s cool to see this concept as a 2 hr video. Keep it up man. Great videos. Worth the wait.

[@ChrisCothron-hd1yt]

You're great at this bro. Plz keep them coming

[@LilSarge]

Don't have to apologize. I love the work and history you put into these games/franchises. Keep up the great content.

[@paulgomes4624]

You’re so thorough. Great watch 👍

[@iconicfreezegaming3989]

Want to watch this series so bad but the Ravens fan in me won't let me 😭😭. However, I will leave a like and share and wait for the next rebuild/ series lol . I'm sure you will do a great job at my dismay lol

[@boomerbergeron7027]

Keep it up dude, very enjoyable.

[@alexanderwest5860]

[@shakycameratheater]

Will cou consider doing a video on the NFL football games out there in 2924 or 2025?

[@Whereswolfie30]

[@Hiipower23]
