[@AustinOgonoski]

Being a kid/teenager during the PS1/PS2 era was so exciting. Each Madden that came out, basically from 99 to 06, it was genuinely a huge improvement and the meme about "sports games being the same every year with just different rosters" never applied. You always looked forward to huge changes in player physics, the quality in graphics + art style, the UI changes, how the menu would look, and what other crazy features they'd throw in. Like, I remember when Mini-Camp was new for 2003. I remember when owner mode was new. I remember when Superstar mode was new. I remember when create a playbook/play was new. I remember when create a fan was new. I remember when Football 101 was new. The August/September period as EA revealed features for NCAA and Madden that year was just super exciting. Even my dad, who didn't play video games but coached high school football, would keep up with it and try and sell me on the game, so I could develop an interest in football - and I very much did. Of all the games he'd ever bought me, he never hesitated to get me Madden. In the past 13 years, they have virtually nothing to show for their efforts. Madden has been a homogenous blob of the same features, with releases over several years being virtually indistinguishable from each other. Because I've avoided ultimate team entirely, there has been zero reason for me to buy this game.

[@gth804f]

We knew it was good then, but we didn't know we were at the pinnacle. I still have my slim PS2 and play every Madden/NCAA from the 2000s. No one game is perfect, but they're all great in their own way, and I can switch back and forth depending on what kind of mood I'm in.

[@PowderHeight]

I agree with literally every word

[@patrickledonne5547]

Mini camp and owner mode existed in GameDay before it existed in Madden. In the PS1 days GameDay was far more innovative than Madden. They had a heavy juke and lower the shoulder feature for the runner before Madden. They had an owner mode and draft before Madden. Where GameDay really screwed the pooch was they did not change the playbook much, if at all year after year, and they didn't fix or change the glitch plays. In every edition of GameDay, shotgun formation play "deep outs" is guaranteed 20 yards-touchdown to the slot receiver every year. The same runs are effective or ineffective year to year. You were spending $50 every year for the exact same game with updated rosters and a new feature here and there

[@rd30000]

Me and my buddy made create a player versions of us and put us on the eagles every year from Madden 06-11 and were some of the funnest/funniest times of my life

[@atlien1988]

I disagree. As someone who started gaming on the SEGA Master System, we were definitely saying it then. However, there were enough improvements to warrant a purchase or at least pick up every other year. We didn't have the ability to receive patches, roster updates, etc back then on consoles. There were also tons of sports games to choose from so that kept ALL sports titles, including arcade ones competitive & pushing for our dollar. Even if they added simple features such as the ability to call a challenge (PS) or "Mulligan" on the N64 console.

[@seanmoomey]

This game was truly special. I was a huge fan of the sprint button being gone. The jukes were so clean. Pass rushing with the right stick in 10-11 was the best. It was never the same after that. I remember seeing the run-blocking tweaks in the NCAA 11 demo and felt truly excited about the game. If we had 11's gameplay with the added presentation they had in 12, we would've been set,

You were right about that AFL mode, it was a really cool feature that doesn’t get talked about a lot and I also wish that Madden would build upon that or do something similar to it. Either that or pray that competition is allowed again so that a developer who actually cares about the quality of their product can do something like that.

Madden 11 will always have a special place in my life. I remember being at school aching to play my Superbowl vs the Packers. You see back then, I was more of a NBA, NBA 2k, and NBA Live kinda fan. However, my stepdad bought this game when it first came out and allowed me to play it whenever he was at work, and I absolutely loved it! Seriously, I loved it so much to the point the PS3 console couldn't recognize the disc anymore because of all the wear and tear sctraches. Madden 11 turned me into a die hard NFL fan and made me want to watch actual NFL games. I re-bought Madden 11 recently and stumbled across this video because i was wondering if anyone else felt the same nostalgia about this game. Especially since the nosedive downfall of EA sports games.

[@LenGott8345]

I actually have 11 for the PS3 and while I'm a bit more softer on 12, this video's getting me to rethink 11. NCAA 11 is when the game looked great, but it's still a ways from what we had with the PS2 era NCAAs (08-11 specifically, since this is when the series was at its best and deepest).

[@gamernorcal]

did you try madden 11 again? I think 10 and 12 are great games. I remember i was let down by 11 when it came out. but this video wants me to try it again but not sure if it can be better than 12

[@NWOWCW4Life1]

Man’s always takes the time to speak his thoughts whether you agree or not and you have to respect/appreciate that effort.

[@stefanoalves8862]

About the first part of the video: I have a really strong belief that since the PS4 and Xbox One launched, 90% AAA developers stopped caring about color grading and composition of the final image when they got a way bigger performance budget to use higher polygon counts and higher resolution textures. That's why Reshade makes some games look way better than default. Especially in open, sunlit areas, a lot of games become so flat looking (specially human skin texture, they look like wax statues). There are exceptions to this (TLOU2 on the base PS4 looks amazing and RDR2 with everything on low on the PC is still stunning looking, even with some textures looking like they come from a PS2 game), but this has been neglected ever since they stopped having to compensate for low resolution textures and models.

[@stefanoalves8862]

We're so far from achieving photorealism just with the raw assets, it takes a unrealistic amount of work for humans to produce and hardware to process in a game. Post-processing goes a long way and it shows when a game running on, at most, 256mb of GDDR3 GPU memory can somehow look better than something on a console with 32x the capacity of that and way more bandwidth (assuming it's using 50% of the memory as normal RAM).

[@DkHoward2]

Broooooo!!! The madden 11 intro & the old intros in general I totally forgot as soon as you brought it up I immediately stopped your vid. To go watch it immediate goosebumps & nostalgia.

Honestly even though at the time me and my best friend in middle school noticed some flaws (like linebackers picking off balls over the middle by like jumping 10 feet in the air) (we also played it when it was new in early 2011-13) I had my favorite memories and just greatest and funnest games while playing madden 11. My friend and I both made our own custom teams and made ourselves as QBs like even our height he was 5'5 and i was 5'7 lol but we made that then loaded our teams into franchise mode and had a fantasy draft to start over and made up our own storylines as to why lol.That kicked off the greatest franchise mode we'd ever play. It was so much fun we made nobodys into stars. Like Brad Smith having multiple 1000 yard seasons, and Chris Redman filling in for my injured Qb and breaking a sack to throw a game winning td in the superbowl. We would break records yes but we had the difficultly high enough that there would be some close games and we'd even lose sometimes, even in the playoffs. Oh and if me and my friend played against each other in the Super Bowl we would call it the madden bowl put an even on facebook and make the game 15 min long quarters instead of 5 and some of the greatest battles have happen. We loved madden 11 so much after Madden 12 came out we didnt like it as much as went back to our original madden 11 franchise. And when Madden 13 came out we were so mad about no franchise.

Madden 11 was an excellent game. So much that I feel like Madden 12 was a huge step back.

[@teddyp421]

Bro you are the goat I don’t know why no one talks about this madden I watched your video and went back and bought it because I miss older games that had soul and I never played this back in its time and now I’m sitting in complete aww of how good this game was. Unpopular opinion “Best Madden Ever”

If you disable anti-aliasing in the gpu section of RPCS3 settings those black lines in the menu should go away.

Madden 11 and 09 were my childhood. I really do think this was an underrated Madden

22:00 Gamecock got BANNED for his opinion.

madden 11 was good. but lets not act like madden has been good since like 06.

[@Hockeyhobo89]

I just went back and platinumed Madden 11. Im so glad that was the year I bought back in the day because it was incredible. The opening intro alone is great. My other favourite is 08.

My childhood bff and i tried completing the 30 year franchise mode. We both had nfc west teams and played everygame ( two h2h) every year. After the final year, a notification popped up that just said "congratulations" and madden was never the game since

[@sagethevvitch]

Honestly, the PS2 games only need like modern HD textures and they'd look realistic enough.

I’m ordering this FUCK IT

You are the only one who mentions presentation. Thank you

Madden 20,21,22,23,24 TRASH. I have been playing 17. I forgot all about 11. 💪 💪 💪

[@mymom9741]

That last scene brought back memories. I loved that Saints chant before the game started

[@benweaver3267]

Haven’t bought a new Madden since 20 and don’t plan on getting one anytime soon. Only 2 things could make me get one: 1. Bengals win the SB 2. Joe Burrow or Ja’Marr Chase on the cover

[@eddieortiz237]

I just got this game today and was pleasantly surprised how good this game is I can't believe this Madden is better than the newer maddens. It's not 2k5 but it's the best Madden in that generation and this one🤯

[@youdontknow7190]

Can’t say how much I love and appreciate these videos since they are the truth about EA and Madden.

[@jamesc333]

11 was only the second Madden I ever played. (First I played while it was newest, as I played 10 when 11 was already out) I love this game. I will never forget playing through all the Madden Moments, a great mode that was very underrated.

[@Rockulous]

Just scored this and NCAA Football 11 through 13 in perfect condition for $20. I hate to be the old guy cliche and say that it was better in my day, but microtransactions have killed this generation of gaming and I couldn’t be happier that I never got rid of my OG phat PS3 😎

[@aidanrivera2234]

Them purposely killing old maddens by not letting you update rosters anymore is insane
