I'd play this over current madden every time. It has so much more stuff, except the soundtrack. In fact Arena football's challenges to unlock past teams was brilliant. It kept me playing to unlock all of them. It's a shame madden doesn't have that at all. Now it's "congratulations, you spent the most money on ultimate team. Your prize, a crappy card."

The XFL's failure was different. The AAF's death was entirely their own fault. The XFL's death was due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. They did it RIGHT this time, and STILL got screwed.

Jog Messon when you said that there would be no XFL, I almost cried. This was the first genuinely league that I loved more than the NFL. It was an actual competitor. Then, when I saw that they died down my heart was broken. I loved all of the games in the XFL Hell, I even watched the games when I was shopping. I just absolutely loved the league. They introduced so many things that the NFL won’t. Behind the scenes action, voiceover of plays, they had everything you asked for in the NFL. To end this off, I just want to say I loved it.

People sleep HEAVILY on Arena Football and Arena Football RTG! I own both of them and still play them to this day.

My favorite thing about this game is the AFL2 teams. I was lucky enough to as a kid have season tickets to the Wilks Barre Scranton Pioneers for the last season the league was active. The pioneers ended up winning every single home game that year and lost in their version of the Superbowl.

Man I miss the Chicago Rush. My grandparents were season ticket holders back when I was a kid, I only ended up going to a handful of games but Arena Football was a great time.

They should make a game

Arena Football is the most underrated EA Sports game released on the original Xbox. It's a really fun game, I remember renting it back in 2006 and played it. I would not buy it until a decade later after relocating to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. This is one of the first games I bought at Movie Trading Company when I went there for the first time.

I remember a demo for this in the PlayStation Magazine. I was like “mum, dad i need this as a First Communion present” I fired up the ps2 a few years back and yea it holds up.

They actually did make an Arena Football game on PS1 with Kurt Warner on the cover. It was during his Rams success and wasn’t very good. I was a huge fan of these arena games and the league in general.

As the only person who actually streams Arena Football on Twitch, I just wanna say it’s fun to play

There was a game that tried to capitalize on Kurt Warner's success. "Kurt Warner's Arena Football Unleashed" came out for the PS1, and was not bad. Basically a reskin of NFL Blitz.

There is A arena football known as the indoor Football league

There is a little known league out there known as the Indoor Football League. Made up of some former AFL teams like the Barnstormers, Shock, and my Rattlers. Similar to how the AFL operated on the field, small field, high scoring. A bit more defense. That would be a league to encourage to find a videogame adaption. It's still growing but on hold due to the quarantine. If you dont know it, look it up, it's pretty fun.

The Indoor football League is still a thing. Just as good as the AFL. This was another great game from my childhood. So much fun

There actually is a current IFL League that still is going on right now I believe. It has the AZ Rattlers, Sioux Storm and 6 other teams

I still play Arena Football Road to Glory on a regular basis!

There was Kurt Warner arena football game back on the PS1. Also there are also still a couple of arena football leagues still going today here in the USA. The IFL and NAL both which do have games here on KZread

There's actually multiple indoor football leagues in the US right now, they're just very small. The largest is the IFL (Indoor Football League) which has been running continuously for over a decade (though they didn't play in 2020 because of Covid).

You should do a video on the other CFB video games. 2K's college game as well as the Gamebreaker NCAA series

Had this along with all Maddens and NCAA football games on the PS2 and I would find myself playing Arena football all the time. So much fun

SDS, there's still a few American indoor leagues that exist such as the IFL and NAL

Anyone who had NCAA 06 drooled over the ad before the game

The IFL is still operating and still expanding, Arizona just got a third team actually. And I thoroughly enjoy indoor/arena football. I loved these games too

There was an arena football game for the PS1 that went along with Kurt Warner

I see you using NTE's video, I know a Dingle when I see one

There’s still the IFL (indoor football league) that’s the most popular arena league in the US. There’s teams that used to be in the AFL being the rattlers and barnstormers. I go to a bunch of rattlers games and they’re super fun to watch

Always excited for a new upload, your videos have caused me to buy quite a few used sports games

There was an officially-licensed Arena Football game with Kurt Warner on the PS1.

Some AFL teams actually are still around, but only because they jumped ship to other indoor leagues. The Arizona Rattlers ran up a whole AFL dynasty and then jumped to the IFL

I miss the AFL, went to so many Soul games before the league folded.

...and so was Arena Football itself. Attended a few Nashville Kats games before we lost the team.

just picked this up for 360....it's really good. thanks, softdrink. in some sense, the AFL adapts much better to video game football than madden. me and the family went to a chicago rush game and it was a blast. sad to see the league went down the tubes.

One little critique on a near flawless video, the original game you can unlock past teams. You could actually do through cheats or by I’m game achievements

There is a Kurt Warner Arena Football game that released in like 2000 for PlayStation

I just got this game and can’t wait to play it. I have been loading up on a great PS2 collection. Great video and can’t wait to see more

Arena football is alive and well in the US. The IFL and NAL are going strong. Just not through the Rona.

These games had personality. I loved them. My only problem with the first game is they didn't have time for the Brigade's name and logo to be announced lol

Had both these games on the PS2 back in the day and played them ENDLESSLY. Such good games. So uniqe and fun. Either one is a must-play for any hardcore football fan.

Sorry to be that guy, but there are actually several leagues that still play arena football. Such as the Indoor Football League (IFL) that has been around since 2008 and still have some teams from the AFL (like the Arizona Rattlers). Or the Champions Indoor Football League which has been around since 2015. If you guys like this game, please go check out these leagues!! IFL games are even broadcast on KZread for FREE! Great Video!

Right. Arena ball is still alive and kicking just different entities. My little brother plays for the sharks now in the NAL and i play in the AAL with the predators. Wish i could have played in the orginal era Arena league buuuut shoot i was still in high school when it shut down the 1st time 😂😂

These games were actually pretty solid!! Had a blast playing them. Just played the second one yesterday.. I loved how they used the Madden engine, but still that there own custom controls for the up tempo style of gameplay to represent AFL Football!!! Definitely an under rated series!

I saw this game at EB Games back in the day and loved it. Would love to see a vid on NFL Fever!

There was an Arena Football League released a year or two after Kurt Warner won the Superbowl. Kurt Warner's Brawl Between the Walls or something like that. I swear a friend had an old AFL game on his Jaguar.

Me and my family went to the AFL championship game, where the Philadelphia Soul and the Tampa Bay Storm played. I'm a Philly native, and it was awesome to see the Soul get their third championship. I think if the AFL could've come around earlier, it would've been a popular league, because the atmosphere was awesome, and the players were still really good. I have never played the game or the sequel, but it looks awesome!!!

And the IFL. They’re still around, if I’m not mistaken

Underrated game, I played it in my childhood and I loved it. Good memories, in fact was my first football game I've ever played before Madden. My Favorite team was Austin Wranglers 💯❤️💙

They should make an All-Pro 2K8-style Arena Football game, where all of the rules and mechanics are similar to these games, but all of the teams and players are generic and not taken from any particular league.

This game was like $2 years ago and me n my brother would play it religiously!!

The IFL still exists and there was a arena football game called Kurt warner arena football unleashed

I loved this game. Columbus Destroyers will always be my favorite semi pro team

Great video!!! Now I want to play it!

Exaggerated hits in this game were way over the top - but somehow, in this game it worked..... Another awesome video !!! for an amazing game

Me and my dad went to a lot of arena football games as a kid. This game totally captured the raucous and fun that was afl games. It's a bummer that it didn't last. I think Arena Football is just a little bit too silly and off the wall. And I feel like because of that it was able to become popular but the popularity didn't last. I feel like the other thing that happened to the arena league is that around the time it was failing smartphones were coming out. The NFL Sunday Ticket was soaring in popularity. Because of the advancements in technology people could get their fill of football more easily with the nfl. I feel like prior to that it was harder to be engaged in the sport of football outside of the NFL season so having a different league with something that there was more demand for.

Loved this game so much. Hella fun

There was an arena football video game before these that tried to capitalize on Kurt Warner. It’s Kurt Warner’s Arena Football on the PS1.
