Pablo for the win!!

You need to try Backyard sports rookie rush it’s so good!

[@RizzyTizzyLando]

You should play the GameCube era one! That was my Jam

[@brandenwilson3815]

Yo, backyard everything in the 90's was legit af. You should baseball too

[@AlexMcNinch27]

So this is from the disc version of the game obviously. Does it still work compatible with the computers/laptops of today? Trying to get one of my favorite Backyard sports games but don't wanna waste money if I can't play.

[@prathamk525]

Seeing a bunch of kids beat the Jets seems so realistic. Madden should implement this.

[@GanzoHasashi1911]

If they were smart, they would’ve let us play as the college teams in QB Franchise mode against the NFL teams for more variety. Hell, might as well go back all the way to Longshot and have the high school teams be playable

[@Henry-si2qi]

I agree completely

[@AkumaRaiden]

**sigh**

Since when did madden care about realism

Is nobody going to mention how the wheelchair kid, Kenny Kawaguchi, has a 3/4 kicking rating?

[@noahdomingo1162]

How does he even kick? Does he just ram into the ball and hopes it goes up?

[@michaelmcpherson992]

He also has a three running rating? That’s some sneaky dark humor for a kids game.

Fun fact: No one has seen this vid yet but everyone is hyped for a new videogame

[@bricemiggletto3689]

Most youtubers: MADDEN 21!!! NTE: Backyard football time 🙌🏼

[@ilackedtheheart]

NBA 2K and Madden better get their shit together! I'd honestly rather play a remastered Backyard series with modern day players than what EA and 2K have been offering up. No joke.

[@Bwildthing99]

@@ilackedtheheart atleast freakin 2K is playable unlike madden that sucks

[@brandonstahl5150]

Never in a million years did I ever think I'd see a Backyard Football video with this good of production quality.

[@blackfootedferret]

Maaaan, this really took me back

[@codyguest3928]

Nice to hear enthusiasm and joy back in Drew’s voice.

[@FichtenMoped_112]

That's the only thing that spoiled the Dingos finale for me. You could hear Drew was fed up with it. Glad to hear him happy again even if that means we will never see another NCAA Dynasty again

[@dudydude3287]

Yeah, Drewski is best fun funf ununfunsareer neer

[@ilackedtheheart]

For real. IDK about you guys, but I watch a lot of KZbinrs for their personality, whether they are doing cooking shows, fixing up computers, playing video games, etc. Drew is an entertaining dude, and I'd rather he review random video games or do sports related videos, or what ever is on his mind, as long as he's into it. It sucks knowing how much KZbin has become a grind for some people, so what ever you need to do to reinvent your channel, to make it interesting for you, I'll be invested in it.

[@jman1276]

I spent so much of my childhood playing the basketball version of this. Backyard sports games are pure nostalgia

[@Jac735]

Facts it was really fun I was on these games more then the Xbox and Playstation consoles back than

[@nickfisher8569]

My childhood was based on playing Backyard baseball, putting it on the easiest difficulty and destroying the CPU

[@tcbobb1613]

I remember playing Backyard baseball I had a Pitcher with 0.93 ERA.

[@alexkozitzky1562]

I used to get so angry if I gave up one run on easy, the one time they had the screaming line drive and hit a home run and I think that was the only run I gave up that entire season lol 😂

[@BosmaRae]

I know it was easy as hell but i found a way to pause the game that let me perfectly hit everytime

[@fromaddicttostatic2549]

This comment hit home man I would draft a straight god squad as well 😂 Sammy Sosa ken Griffey jr. Randy Johnson, infinite home runs and seeing how many power ups I could stack up

[@PanzerMold]

The Backyard series had and continues to have more love for the sports than most AAA sports games these days.

[@eastxsidexswagg]

Kenny having a 3/4 for kicking made me laugh harder than I should have.

[@willclark6093]

Backyard sports games FTW!!! So much fun in my childhood. Especially the OG football and basketball games!

[@ilackedtheheart]

Pablo was the GOAT kid athlete. Guy was a beast no mater what Backyard game you selected. Growing up with Elway as my football idol, it was awesome to see him in the game as well!

[@GamingBeFly]

That smile at the beginning just made my night. Glad to see you happy Drewski!

OMFG I LOVED, backyard hockey. The backyard line needs a comebck for sure!!! Love my boy kenny, best goalie in the league

[@deberry1987]

I came for the NCAA series and I’ll be honest, I didn’t know how this change would go. One video in and I know EXACTLY how this going to go. I laughed more on this video than I have in any of your other videos. Keep up the good work Drewski, I’m here for it!

[@TheRatedRAssassin]

I was OBSESSED with the backyard sports games as a kid! I'm going to need to download this myself. Also i ALWAYS picked Dimitri to be my kicker and Pablo to be one of my WRs

[@mustacherunner]

Bro I remember Backyard Football! Never played it, but cool to see it age as a product of its time.

[@TheFurryGamer]

I remember my brother would play in the entire season all the playoffs in whatever their version of the Super Bowl is this definitely brings it back to my childhood and his

[@AnthonyH99]

I'd love to see you play the GameCube version of backyard football. That game was soooooo good, the content would be incredible!

[@Salival46.2]

The one with McNabb on the cover? That game was better than it had any right to be.

Drew looks and sounds so much happier now that he isn't stuck doing NCAA anymore. It really makes me happy 😊

[@Alex-xj5rz]

Yes in coming memories from my childhood. My grandma had this on her computer, and I used to love to play it and print out a certificate of when I won the colossal cereal bowl.

[@SamuelSWebb]

I probably had 1000+ hours on Backyard football on the ds with Tom Brady on the cover

[@evandub6020]

These videos are going to HIT for you. As silly as this sounds, this gave me so much nostalgia I got goosebumps

[@calebparsons5092]

I won the Super Colossal Cereal Bowl on Hard, just punting, returning punts and kicks, kicking xp, and playing defense (pick sixes and safeties) for a whole season.

[@drewfranklin4809]

ESPN needs to hire Chuck Downfield for MNF. He's the GOAT of football broadcasting. He's been doing his thing over on JrSN for over 20 Years, and is way more knowledgeable than Booger McFarland.

Already has more customization then madden 😂

[@walnzell9328]

Kenny has such strong arms from wheeling himself around that he's good at pitching in baseball, throwing in football, and "running."

[@TDOLLA]

wow this unlocked a flood of memories. I suddenly remembered exactly how I would build my squads back in the day. Kiesha is a hell of a MLB- she hits like a mack truck and she is really a leader on Defense. Class act on and off the field.

This was the first video game I ever played! I remember vividly getting upset because I knew you had to get the ball to the end zone to score, and I always lost. I only later realized I was going to the wrong end zone every time.

[@mikefranz5696]

I was playing my 1st game of the season. With 30 seconds left in the 4th, we scored a touchdown. We missed the 2 point though, leaving me devastated. The score was 19-20, we were losing to the Jets, with 21 seconds left. Luckily, we stopped them to 4th down, with 3 seconds remaining. I thought they would go for it, so I went with a blitz play. I was wrong, and they punted it. Clock expired before I even got to the ball, but Pete picked it up at our own 10 yard line. He got to the 30, and then, a miracle was born. Pete Wheeler broke the tackle, and took it 90 yards for a punt return touchdown. We beat the Jets, 25-20. In that same season, we went undefeated and went on to win the Super Colossal Cereal Bowl. I will never forget Pete after that play. I gave it it's own name, Miracle of the Backyard Lands.

[@edgz1176]

Man I used to love these games as a kid, I didn't play much of the baseball one but I spent so many hours playing the basketball, football, and soccer ones.

[@OrderlyConch]

Seems like you really enjoyed making this video! I'd dig videos of all those original backyard sports games, nostalgia gets a like from me! NFL Street is also dope af, my favorite football game for sure. Always wished I had someone to play it with growing up, my friends weren't into sports games, and watching your video kinda filled that void seeing someone else enjoy it I guess. Thanks for continuing to provide content, don't ever feel like you are being forced to play one game, I think your audience will follow whatever you're doing. Got the fame from NCAA 14, time to move on to things you can have more fun with! TL;DR, nice video, glad you're here.
