lol pretty much. The BS come from behind BS was infuriating. I recall 05 being specifically horrid. '04 was my year.Heretic;1867325 wrote:I remember when I played it a lot, just looking at the things they tightened up or left fucked up. As memory serves:
2003: Take a commanding lead on a team and watch their QB enter god mode. A friend and I would do franchises and compare our stats and shit; we used fairly long quarters and found our pass defense was pure trash because Peyton Manning would have 150 yards through 3 quarters and then hit 4 70-yard TDs in the fourth. Also, offensive linemen were impossible to build up because the game never gave out pancakes.
2004: I did a franchise where I was the only team with a decent OL and every other OL in the league somehow fell below 70. On the other hand, I had a season where Deuce McAllister had 2500 yards and 30+ TDs and went down a point at the end of the season.
2005: Lord, the draft gave you the most hilariously fucked up players. A RB with 98 speed and 36 quickness, so you never actually saw that speed, since he'd be drilled behind the line every damn time. One dimensional OL guys with 92 pass block and 52 run block.
Same, I loved NCAA and Madden in college. My roommate and I even did the import player thing from NCAA created player. Ray Jackson (bloodsport lol) was a 3 yr starter at tOSU setting NCAA sack records leading OSU to 3 NCs, then joined the browns and led to multiple SBs run before a career ending back injury at the age of 26/27Automatik;1867329 wrote:I used to run through seasons like a machine on Madden, even more on NCAA Football (RIP). Then I college came and it was nonstop battles with the boys. Remember QB vision? lol
I then got into Madden online, but it was never great....wayy too buggy. Then I discovered FIFA and I pretty much ditched all other games.
I currently don't even have a console, but I occasionally price PS4s, but I know that's not a smart investment.
lol the QB cone. They most hated thing in Madden after having to play against Mike Vick.Heretic;1867332 wrote:I do remember QB Vision. Lol, that was funny. I remember Derek Anderson as a rookie with Minnesota (at least my buddy had him on his Minnesota team). His vision cone was about the size of a slightly larger than normal needle.
