The Last Great Madden

The last Madden NFL game that could be considered a great game would be the Playstation 2, original Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube versions of Madden NFL 08 with Vince Young on the cover. This video is NOT about the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions of the game, which were very different. The franchise mode, superstar mode, and more were incredibly deep and detailed. Easily my favorite Madden. Enjoy the retrospective on the game. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already!

I have more videos coming! Sorry for the audio quality. I made a mistake on audition. I accidentally used an effect twice instead of once, amplifying the white noise.

    You missed the best part. Importing your draft classes from NCAA. There's nothing like playing 4 years of Heisman mode then importing into superstar mode to have your created player go from highschool to the HOF.
  • @squirtle8060
    Nothing will ever beat that perfect hit stick that knocked the ball loose.
  • This is making me sad. Why can’t someone bring this to EA and say “do this again”
  • @MalarkeySixTwo
    My all time favorite small detail that has been missing in the new maddens for YEARS was in the older maddens in franchise mode..... the raiders had the baseball dirt on their field for the first few weeks of the regular season
  • @abravenewman57
    After I won a superbowl I definitely built a new stadium, made it 80,000 seats and made everything expensive as hell. 7$ hotdogs out here

    Did y'all catch the name of the custom franchise "Philidelphia Foreskin?"😂

    When he said that “as a kid, I probably put the most hours into this game more than anything.” I felt that one.
  • @simfballcritic
    The crazy thing is people will argue with me about why I’m requesting certain features in Franchise mode. I have even heard the phrase, “You’re asking for too much”. Crazy how soon people forget what EA once created themselves. Great video man!
  • @Treequs
    This franchise mode was so ahead of its time, and the new ones are so behind.
  • @jorgemilian5498
    08 was the last time I played madden and when I finally decided to get madden 20, I remembered the reason why I stopped
  • @nanikhattak9855
    I think madden was great when Greg Jennings carried the team on his back
  • @Romer318
    The only reason the cone was "controversial" was because trash players got exposed. Loved the video.
  • @samwescoat5750
    That last touchdown is a pick 97% of the time in “competitive” mode now
  • @mst3kharris
    I don’t even play Madden games, and I’m shocked by how in-depth ‘08 seems from your description. The idea that all of that functionality could be crammed into the PS2 and Gamecube but now it overwhelms the PS4 seems absurd.
  • Another thing that was possible was when a famous player retired he might show up in the off-season as an available coordinator for you to hire, this always happened to me with Terrell Owens for some reason. It's unbelievable to look back and realize that EA cared about their product instead of releasing the same game every year with updated rosters and gamble mechanics (MUT). The last Madden I brought was 15 and for some reason when I played the training mode I was expecting the players to come out with the training uniform but that was nothing but a distant memory when NFL football games were good. Thanks for the vid, it sure made me look way back to better times.
  • @saeku6398
    When Madden use to be an automatic purchase... now, I wait 'til it drops to $20 and sometimes skip a year.
