Dude I really appreciate this video so true. To this day I still play madden 12 because it’s the last madden to have a real franchise mode. I’ve played through all 30 seasons twice and it’s so enjoyable. For me the draft classes are so awesome because you identify with each player as if they are real. The pictures are real even if they are just photo shop versions of bad players. As you said the mode has so much detail. Its not without its flaws like some players are white when they’re portraits are black and vice versa but that’s rare and the progression style is messed up. The solution is not hard if they cared. Literally copy the formula for madden 12. Give 30 years of draft classes with real photos. Make the players accurate to photos. Fix progression so it’s more performance based. Then add in better gameplay for modern times. I personally like the interface from 12 but my favorite was madden 08 on ps3 with the titantron look.

I remember as a kid this was my first ever Madden game. I played Madden 12 and really did not realize just how bad the series got after until several years later. I never had Madden 13 but from everything I heard..... Yeah, awful. Then I decided to buy Madden 25. So, how much did I like Madden 25? I played a few matches, checked out some of it's features and wondered why it was a lot worse then Madden 12. So then I just stuck with Madden 12 until SEVERAL years later when I eventually got a next gen console in late 2017. I decided to pick up Madden 18 because I figured that it would be cool and I saw that it just went to a new Engine and got a new story mode called: Longshot. I personally really enjoy playing Madden 18. Plus I experience like ZERO glitches. It's frozen like once but that's it. For those of you wondering I either play the regular Matchups against the CPU or, what I do most of the time, play as my awesome QB in custom Franchise mode. I was disappointed that I couldn't be Field Goal kicker but, it's alright. Now, in 2020 I am still using Madden 18 and have not upgraded to Madden 19 or 20. From everything that I've seen online, Madden 19 and 20 are both extremely buggy and glitchy. Also almost the exact same as 18. I am expecting to buy Madden 21 as it is most likely the last Madden game on this generation of consoles. Maybe Madden 22 gets supported on both this generation and the next generation of consoles, but that's no guarentee.

None of those features interested me that is why Madden pretty much went downhill after 12. EA Sports seems to care about making profit from the newer consoles instead of improving the gameplay on the current consoles and Madden is no exception.

The only thing Madden 12 on PS2 had lost from Madden 08 on PS2 was the classic teams and it gained the fight for the fumble mechanic from Madden 10.

[@TAGYT674]

@@TheNewChevyRoll48 I never noticed that. Then again I haven't had the ps2 version for years.

I played madden 12 on ps2

Why get rid of coaching tree? Why get rid of pump up crowd? Thanks EA for everything.

[@giantsfan7342]

You forgot to add Madden 12 had dymaninc attendance. Weather, record of the team, and time of year would be a factor on what the attendance would be. For example if the 1-11 Jaguars were facing the 2-10 Browns then no one would show up.

[@trevonpernell0814]

That was Madden 11 actually. I can't fault EA for removing that though. NFL forced EA to remove that.

[@snc237]

As said above, nfl forced madden to remove dynamic attendance from the game

[@YodaSmokes]

Between 11 and 12 when they switched the tackling systems was the decline of madden. Madden 11 was the last good madden.

[@Mike73010]

I agree. I got into Madden 11 a couple years after playing 12 alot. 13 has great gameplay, but no fantasy draft makes 11 better in my opinion.

[@JayJoe1984]

This is the last Madden I owned, been updating 2k5 ever since. Smh

[@prolific4832]

2k5 is probably top Madden

[@Negative28]

How does one get a modern or even an NFL roster from the past few years onto 2k5 for the PS2?

[@JayJoe1984]

@@Negative28 I have Flying Finn's NFL 2k5 editor so its just a matter of updating every year.

This was the last Madden game I really played. One thing I remember is that the game was clearly trying replicate pressure from the defense leading to an inaccurate throw. But what really happened was that if you were hit while throwing the ball, it would just go to straight to the nearest defender, sometimes defying physics. Made it so much easier to throw interceptions in a game that is already know for unrealistic interceptions.

[@sweetdeal68]

I remember on one of the last NCAA titles, I took a player through college and went to export him and it wasn't an option. Like what? For years, I would create a player in NCAA then export to Madden. Not having that option anymore really turned me off from the EA Madden/NCAA franchise. That and Franchise mode taking a massive dump.

[@NotSoKevin1]

I think this is a perfect example of what happens when a company has no competition. EA know that with that exclusive deal they can throw out any old game and it well sell, simply because there are no other "NFL" games that can be made. Plus without the NFL rights there's no reason for other larger game companies to jump in and make a game since the return to investment won't be there. Mix that in with smaller studios and their restrictions in budget and talent nothing can come close to a great functioning football game. Great video as always man.

[@dennisbowen452]

Madden 25 did not allow you to upload a player from the heisman road in ncaa 14. You can however do draft classes from the franchise mode in ncaa 14 however.

[@co81385]

Thank you for this excellent video! I really enjoy this channel. It truly is a shame to see how far the Madden series has fallen since the PS2 days. To be honest, I am not sure why they had to throw away the PS2 Madden engine to begin with. I may have to resign and accept that Madden will never reach the levels that it did during the PS2 era ever again.

[@jaheimmoultrie7584]

same, just like nhl ea, its a shame to see how far nhl series has fallen off hard since 2k nhl passed away, since, ps4 and xbox one, nhl will never ever reacts the level that it did during ps3 360 era ever again, i cant accept that. i cant let it go.

[@co81385]

That's true! The NHL games certainly aren't what they used to be either! What a shame! During the Xbox 360/PS3 era, the NHL games were EA's best games!

[@jaheimmoultrie7584]

i@@co81385 i agree.

[@KingKiiy]

I miss superstar especially as a CB that's one thing i wish they brought back

[@camwiens7726]

being either a WR or a CB on that locked in camera angle was so lit

[@OfficialDuhreel]

Its like McDonald’s when it first started, it started with a dream with giving the customer what you always want to whatever makes me another quick buck after this transaction

[@2kFootballNow]

Solid video. Great Job

2:23 Rams f̶r̶a̶n̶c̶h̶i̶s̶e̶ sorry CONNECTED CAREER I remember playing this game on the Wii U and it made me question my existence by how mind-numbing it was

[@xxcojo6xx]

“I’d like to see the stats of my players I’d like to sign before I sign them” “WHAT?! *expodes*”

[@ki975]

Exactly why I haven't bought a Madden since Madden 17

[@triggertim1]

Now we can't even play madden 17 i tryed it crashed cause no ea servers

[@michaelmaciej4831]

the fall of franchise really hurt me, this has been my favorite part for many years

[@jimmykeech2467]

I still play M12, one thing I didn't see mentioned was in Superstar mode, when I simulate a playoff game, it will sometimes have me lose a game yet I still advance to the next game. For example, I'm in the WC round, I'll simulate the game, and it displays the final score, let's say L(23-33), yet I still advance to the next game. If I back out, reload the game and do the same, it sometimes even posts the same score/results, but I actually have lost the game without advancing. That's really my ONLY knock on this game. Great video, by the way

[@daddydog9275]

I loved creating my high school football team back in the day, along with the other HS teams that I played. And fictional HS teams, like the Japanese mana Eye Shield 21. I got so much use out of the create a team. I haven’t touched Madden since they got rid of it.

[@kevinshirley9344]

The main reason there is a decline in quality at Madden was because since 2006 EA has bought the license for the NFL for billions which means less money put into development.

[@81casperflip]

Also i still play ps2 madden games and just manually update the rosters every few years

[@JokoSungkawa]

Even Madden 24 cant have those features from Madden 12.

[@ColeCoibiBFDIObject]

Honestly to me, Madden 12 or maybe even Madden 05 might be the best football video game besides ESPN NFL 2K5 that I have ever played.

[@alextremo824]

ESPN NFL 2K5 is the best of all time

[@ColeCoibiBFDIObject]

@@alextremo824 ESPN NFL 2K5 is truly the best of all time I agree, just saying Madden 12 comes in 2nd.

[@marcospinelli6367]

Madden 12 also had a glitch where you could sort incoming rookies by value in franchise mode. I built some incredible dynasties.

[@kanyecheedar9170]

Ultimate team was at its peak in madden 13. I was able to make an incredible team without paying a penny...

[@calebc5057]

This is the only madden I have right now. Found it at a thrift shop and am loving it. It’s making me get back into football again.

[@user-vr8ul3fd7d]

Love these sports games retrospectives. I'd love to see MVP baseball 2005 or Tiger Woods 2004 on here

[@masterchiefwasdonedirty9705]

There's a different channel that has a MVP baseball 2005 retrospective that's really good. I can link you to it if you want

[@jasonpdsi]

I love the fact that you can save highlights from games in this

[@biggame315]

I thought I was tripping for loving this game so much. Now I see I wasn't alone lol. Love madden 12.

[@famFirst88]

This felt the most realistic with a natural gameplay. Now everything is getting picked off and players are just to elite on the video game. 2K come help them out

[@ldent15]

Very well done. THUMBS UP!

[@89tejada]

Bro you are always on point. Great Video.

[@prstn1of1]

Bro. Everytime I turned on my 360. I played this. This was my first madden besides madden arcade 2009. Superstar mode was so great and I loved it. There was a difficulty called "custom" that could allow you to put up over 100 points! EA please make better games again. I always made teams, Jerseys, and stadiums. Franchise was the best thing ever. I always used to be mad bcuz teams would win my player would always get a better offer from a different team in franchise😂

[@ec5018]

the fact you can edit your player ratings during the season was awesome
