Playing NFL Fever 2004 in 2020!

[@davibe2304]

Bro they had towels and hand warmers waaaay ahead of it’s time just imagine where they would be at now at this point....Madden needs to go man

[@Flyingsandwiches-nr1zc]

Exactly 💯💯💯. Go away and never come back.

[@RickRaisin16]

Except they were in a dome so it’s pretty dumb

[@jonhogue4123]

I have always said this.. Even back in 2004. Fever was the better game, imo.

[@TheAlmightyClipse]

Bro they had this in the previous years game too! NFL Fever 2003 made in 2002!!! Let that sink in!!! It took Madden until how long to get it in?? maybe Madden 10 or 11 onwards..

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Madden 2005 had so much stuff...EA just got rid of it all. They literally scrapped everything they did during the PS2/Gamecube era (the peak of football simulation) and redid everything starting with Madden 2006. The models for the game even on the PS5 are still based off of that game 15 years ago. It is pathetic.

[@joshteller7774]

Watching this video brings back so many childhood memories. I remember I was 11 playing this game everyday when I would get home from school. Back when madden had competition

[@guiitarfreak_]

The NFL Films music is always badass when starting this classic up

[@meat5874]

Played this game all the time growing up. What a nostalgic video

[@Ninja0492]

This was way back when life was simpler, good, pure, innocent from those years of the 1980's, 1990's to early 2000's era..... Where video games used to be fun they were all about the presentation, gameplay, cheat codes, controls, depth, voice acting, graphics & now fast forward many years later in 2024 to 25, people just don't care & all we do is play. - R.i.p G4tv 4 Gamers (2002-2014) - (let the games begin!!!) We all miss that channel so very much.

[@ployth9000]

ya it all went downhill after they combined with techtv I miss watching shows like the arena and screensavers that later turned into attack of the show oh and X-play

[@cleftboywonder]

I get what you're trying to say but you clearly have let your love of that era distort your view. You're missing out on titles and genres that you don't even know exist. Titles that blow what you love out of the water.

This game looks really good. I think this is the first time I’m seeing gameplay of this game. I’ve seen NFL 2k gameplay and a lot of people seem to love that game but to me this game looks even better.

[@thegatorviking]

That's cause this was on Xbox - the 2K's were all on PS2/Dreamcast - When this game came out, it was the best looking football game to date. But it didn't offer the depth that Madden and 2K did.

[@LonghornsLegend]

Man the animations were next level. Even for right now they hold up very well

[@torrentialdownpourmondays5510]

Dude unreal right

[@angrymobsters1599]

The right trigger mechanic in this game was amazing. Some people forget it exists unless you accidentally do it or you learn from the tutorials like i did. Being able to actually control your pass and lead your reciever was so cool because it was rewarding if you dimed your reciever in stride but a punishment if you don't time your throw right. Really unique mechanic that made this game standout imo

[@WiseProfitz]

I fell in love at 3:35 😭 Lamar Jackson won’t even scramble like that in Madden.
