Joe Sick Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I have missed these 2k vs. Madden debates SOOOOOOOO much. I don't really "game" anymore, but I thought 2k's graphics sucked, especially the animation. When a guy would run he would stop, turn 45 degrees then run again. I've got a copy if anyone wants it cheap...The last Madden I bought was the $60 one with older versions included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidenreich Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 which do you prefer, nhl on the sega, or nhl on the snes? Genesis, hands down. NHL 94 was the best game I ever played..... What you'll be playing: What, no love for Bases Loaded II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Genesis, hands down. NHL 94 was the best game I ever played.....What, no love for Bases Loaded II? up until fairly recently i didn't even know the versions were different. but i bought my brother one of those portable gamepad things with games on it and it came with nhl 94 and madden 94. i can tell you it was leaps and bounds different. i can't honostly tell you which one is better because i've been playing the SNES version my entire life, and the crappy controller you have to use for the portable genesis version we have gives me hand-cramps. the two biggest differences i noticed in the games were that the goalies looked completely different, and that when you press the "check" button, afte your initial speed-burst it slowed you down to prevent you from taking advantage of the check button. sometime i may take apart that damn thing and put it inside a couple of my spare SNES controllers (its portable AND comes with two controllers... two crappy controllers.

G-Prime Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Because its the only one out there. :laugh:Madden has gotten better, but I'll bet 2K8 blows every Madden game out of the water. Agreed.. I'm actually looking forward to a "good" football game, I don't care about the names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 i didn't play 2k5, so i'll take your word for it.madden '07 is great in my mind. i'll give 2k8 a look. 2k5 Kicked the hell out of Madden that year imo. I remember buying Madden first and I really enjoyed it, then I saw T.O on the cover of NFL 2k5 and it was only 20 bucks so I figured, what the hell.. I never played that year's madden again.

cyfar Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Uh, enjoy playing with fake players. How is that any different from playing several years deep into Madden's franchise or older football games that were just as fun with no name players? If the gameplay's great there are some things that you can look past. I guess by this logic, Baseball Stars, Double Dribble, Baseball Simulator 2012, Mutant League Football weren't good because they didn't have any names. What you'll be playing: That game was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Genesis version was faster. The SNES couldn't keep up because it didn't have "Blast Processing!" Remember, Genesis does what Nintendon't!

In 1988. When realism in a sports game was an 8-bit stick figure that was slightly animated. On an unrelated note, I was the MAN at the first Bases Loaded. I could throw a pitch that was virtually unhittable, yet still called a strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the graphics suck, year the music were mind numbingly bad, but that game has some serious gameplay. Double Dribble on the other hand, well that one hasn't aged as well.

jnhay Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Uh, enjoy playing with fake players. They're saying it might have classic players. BTW, I used to like Madden when EA actually improved the game from year to year. With the exclusive license, they really don't give a **** if the game improves at all because people will still buy it. The game is an absolute waste of time being that I could enjoy Madden 2003 just as much if it had updated rosters. I'm much more like to buy this 2k sports game just because it isn't Madden.

I actually thought 2ks animations and graphics were better than Madden's at the time. I didn't really play 2k (madden was a better overall game), but I remember how my signature move in Madden was to have my runner turn back and around slowly since the juke moves really never worked and the animations sucked.

Dude your really Super-smart, althought I don't agree with you Freelancing back and forth. I have a feeling, the future is now for Madden.. If the next 2k game is any good, true football fans won't care about names. They want good play... Regardless though, in both games you can rest assured that Brunell sucks.

jbooma Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 maybe this will make Madden force themselves to make changes, it has been primary the same game the last 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyfar Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 maybe this will make Madden force themselves to make changes, it has been primary the same game the last 4 years Madden has been trial and error for the past 3 or 4 years. One year it was all about improving the defense, next thing you know, defenders are making super human leaps to knock down every pass and they are causing fumbles every 5 plays. Then year before that it was all about making the passing game better so they introduced the passing cone that was either revered or reviled. Last year it was all about what i like to call the "you make the blocks yourself" feature that goes unused by many players that I know. All the while, with all of these "big" features coming in each year, errors and glitches that have been in the game engine for years go untouched. It still blows my mind that they still haven't gotten around to fixing the punt return issue. I don't think that 2K's game were perfect by any means, but I am familiar with the care and work that they have put into making NBA 2K7 one of the best games out there and I look forward to seeing what they do to their football engine.

CrypticVillain Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Madden has been the BEST football game since 2001 (Madden 2002), and it will continue to be, until 2KSports starts caring more about football and less about the graphics. The football in madden is top knotch. And it is getting better (very slowly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Madden team just wants to give the illusion that they're giving the consumer a different game every year when they're really just giving the same crap out with some features changed. They might as well just release patches for their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 heh, the running game in madden 07 is rediculous. Even if your RB isn't that fast, all you gotta do is keep running it and you'll score. I rarely find myself going 3 and out when I just use the same exact running play over and over (maybe change sides, that's about it). I simulate the seasons sometimes, Portis got over 2600 rushing hards in a season. After he retired, his no-name replacement who I drafted ran for over 3300 yards in a season once. I only play through four games of the season, and stop running if my back has gotten over 200 yards. You guys are right about the names thing. In a franchise,a fter 10 seasons or so, very few of the players remain (usually kickers/punters, centers, and rookies about to retire). I'm well over 20 seasons in, and I feel just as much virtual attachment to my fake future Redskins as I do to the current ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're saying Major . I'm not a fanboy of either, I just want to see a good game. I've played my share of Madden's(since 92) and I've loved just about everything that Visual Concepts (former Madden development team) has done since their first "2K" title on the Dreamcast. If the 2K game does well, it will force EA to step their game up and deliver a complete football game to the people that are willing to shell out the $50-$60 every year for their titles.
