Fun Fact, aside from the specific Arena Football rules, this game is a nearly exact clone of Madden 2005. I started as a tester at EA Tiburon in 2005. Most of my class of new hires worked on this game (I was sent to work on Madden 06 for unreleased Xbox 360 console). The team that created this game were mostly developers from a studio called Hypnotix (that made the games Outlaw Golf and Outlaw Volleyball), a NJ studio that was bought out by EA. They all moved down from NJ to FL and worked on this game. That is the first game that used the Analog Stick for kicking (this was a main part of their previous games). Most of those developers ended up moving to work on Tiger Woods Golf afterwards (using the same Analog Stick mechanics for the swing).

When I worked at GameStop back in the late 2000s I remember an unreasonable amount of children specifically looking for the arena football games and the PBR bull riding games and usually not much else.

The only complaint I had about the 2 games was the unlockable logos weren't available on create-a-team. I went to my first AFL game in 1990. In fact it was Arena Bowl 90. Here in Detroit the Drive were the first AFL dynasty. Only around 6 years. Appeared in the Arena Bowl each year, winning 4, including 3 in a row from 88-90. I would have loved to been able to use the logo once unlocked then put them in a season. Other than that, I still play this today. Fun game you can jump into and enjoy, or get in depth with.

This video game brings me back so many memories. My favorite AFL team while playing this game was definitely the Chicago Rush

Damn what happened to EA. This game looks better madden 19

I remember if you reached the championship in season mode, the halftime show would be even better.

I always loved the Arena Football games. Reminded me of Blitz from like '99 at the arcades :)

1:03 M. Nagy is now coaching in the NFL with the Chicago Bears

that fight sequence when the qb was hit outta bounds is peak football gaming. it's unbelievable how detailed this game is in comparison to madden today.

Not sure if y'all recognized it. Matt Nagy was listed as a QB. That's pretty damn cool.

2:51 hey the Bears coach went 10th overall

I used to watch the tampa bay storm games like ever week a couple years ago with my family they were so awesome. its too bad not much arena football exists today but if you ever get the chance to watch a arena football game do it.

"So your gonna be scoring on almost all possessions" Pretty much that's what its like in the AFL. Scores in the 40s and 50s sometimes 60s were common.

Hey, I just wanted to give you a heads up that EA Sports Rugby exists too

When the kicker he drafts is actually a close family friend XD

Greatest video ever. You can’t tell me otherwise. I come back a year later and watch it over and over.
