when Madden felt like a real NFL Broadcast 😂

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Yk it’s madden 11 when every team does that fake ass drew brees pre game hype

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL 😭 why do I feel the urge to press x

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL NFL 2K5 came through and smoked them cleats for $19.99.

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL And Chris Collingsworth always seems to be taking a hot shit on your team describing their failures in the commentary 😂

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Back then we were saying "Damn, it look just like him"

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL I swear in Madden 11 when I had my headset on the coach was telling me the plays

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL This was when you couldn’t change the weather in online games. It was literally based off real time weather for every stadium.

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL GenZ thinks we just complain about everything 🤣 thing we’re just better then🤷🏾‍♂️ screw the graphics

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Remember, nothing is stopping EA from putting this kind of effort into pre and post game content but greed and a lack of competition.

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL You mean when they gave af

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Good times That’s why they don’t let us backwards compatibility these games bc we’ll rarely play the new ones

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Always thought Madden woulda took notes from NFL 2k5 and incorporated everything that game had into Madden and 20 years later it’s still lacking

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Madden 11

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL You just had to be there

@TheOXGod @SnowJohnson_ @espn @EAMaddenNFL Soon as micro transactions started Madden went to shit with better performing consoles. They stopped caring about gameplay not its tokens and cards.

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Why did they take this good stuff from us?

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Yup. Back when sports games where made for sports fans. Now. Madden and NBA2k are just made for the fortnite kids who think simulation sports games are boring. They'd rather grind for cards or play each other online where stats don't matter

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL This gotta be NFL2K

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Favre playing for The Vikings, what a time to be alive.

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL When Madden was good

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL ESPN NFL 2k5 would have blown your mind.

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Like imagine cutting this stuff out of the game 🤣 probably did it to make room for MUT garbage

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL What madden was this

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL That split screen side by side QB comparison was TOP TIER!!

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL I don’t get why, with ai, they can’t have this but an up to date version with current stats and storylines

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL These PS3/360 games were terrible to actually play

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Good times

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Crazy that they never improved on this lmao just completely got rid of everything you see here.

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL When they tried to copy 2k

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Been playing madden 09 a lot and my god is the gameplay leaps and bounds better. Every game is seems to come down to the wire, can’t cheese plays, AI decision making and clock management could be better but I’ve always had a hard time finding a difficulty level that seems pure

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL NFL 2K did way better on presentation

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Miss this

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL madden 11 is still goated

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL It’s because all they care about now is dog shit Ultimate team, that shit literally ruined madden.

@TheOXGod @espn @EAMaddenNFL Madden 05-08 was the golden era for this. NFL 2K5 still holds the crown for presentation tho.
