Yo - Drink - don't fuck with the haters. It's because of you that I learned of the absolute greatness that is ESPN NFL 2k5. I have owned that game for a few months now and have played the shit out of it. It's because of you I was inspired to invest in some of the older PS2 Maddens, such as 04-08. You have re-ignited the love for the Madden series when it was good within me. And for that I will be eternally grateful to you. Keep pushing, my friend.

I love your work, SDtv. Keep doing your thing. That said, I gotta let you know the only reason I suspect you probably didn't see much true sim gamers talking about how bad Madden 19 really was then is because by then, a lot of the old heads that covered how bad Madden has gotten (and keep in mind, a lot of old heads started to call out Madden since Madden 09 for the 360) had long since moved on. Like for instance, there's this old Sim head by the name of Gideon Prime (aka Apexisfree) who used to be known for calling out the exact same BS in Madden. But after several years of just that, including helping work on Backbreaker, he finally gave up on the Sim football platform altogether and shifted his focus to critiquing the NBA 2K series, since he believes they are far much ahead than Madden, but still need to make sure they keep their level of quality in sim (if not flat out improve upon it) instead of getting complacent like EA has done.

Just found your videos now love them and yea I agree with you on your stance on madden.. that’s why I kept my 360 and have madden 10 and nfl 2k5

Hearing your story is crazy and really interesting. I started playing madden when I was 11 or 12 years old (Madden 05) and watched it deteriorate in real time year after year starting with 09. Finally stopped playing after Madden 25. Watching all your madden videos, you’re absolutely right about how much the game has fallen off in depth/quality, which game killed the series, and how the sixth gen versions (07 and 08 were my fav) were the best ones. It’s wild how you pretty much skipped thru 09-17 growing up, probably thinking you were missing out because of the constant high review scores shitty mainstream outlets handed out, only to go back and see how much the franchise (both the game and the mode itself) fell to ruin. Seriously, fuck EA. I’ve stopped buying in protest for years and don’t regret it one bit (I’m 28 now). I love that you make these videos to try and show people it hasn’t been worth buying this game for years but there are too many diehards out there that will take anything EA will give them. Love your content though and you’re also right about the 2k series, keep it up!

Damn, we have very similar experiences. I always did Madden PC, and 08 was my last PC title. The disappointment set in like a slow poison starting with "uh, where's Create-a-team gone?" and just the general sense that there was nothing fun or satisfying about the game. It didn't properly hit me for a while that I'd waited 10 years for...whatever the fuck this is.

To see what it has become today is a travesty. Knowing this is the only chance you have at playing NFL Football. Such a shame that the NFL had a monopoly with EA and won't just open it up to all devs.

Glad you put these videos out sir. I have so many great memories of playing NCAA & Madden back in the mid 90s to middle 00s. I joined the military in 2005, and we used to have tourneys in our barracks of both games. NCAA & Madden 07-09. So much fun. I've not purchased a Madden since 2010 or so. I stopped buying them after they dropped NCAA completely. I've usually rented the current Madden every year, and it's been the biggest disappointment every year. MUT ruined it completely to me. Glad I had the chance to play 2003-2009 or so. Keep hoping the next year will be back lol. And here we are 10+yrs later. I'd rather play Tecmo Super Bowl.

As a kid growing up in the early 2000’s, I assumed that as technology got better, so would video games.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, when EA got the exclusive rights from the NFL, they became complacent.

Out of sheer boredom I reinstalled’19 to play and realized that I can’t get the simulation of playing football with a game designed to be an arcade style experience. It’s obvious. Even in simulation mode you’re limited in the way you can be successful with the scripted outcomes. You’re 💯 correct in you’re assessment of this franchise. Keep doing what you do.

Madden 19 was the only game that I got into but it also got me out of the series also with what I keep seeing when I replay it for some reason

Those physics at the end killing me 😆

One thing that I noticed is that every time you or your opponent picked a run play a little infographic about a runningbacks yards per carry or if it was a pass a graphic would pop up about a QBs accuracy.

I respect you for accepting that this is what the faceless masses want and for putting in the effort to make it still high quality

I remember knowing that I would be calling in to work sick when Madden dropped, now I'd rather go to work.

11:58 I literally had that same glitch with Matthews as well. I laughed so hard.

I had the same Madden experience. Played 07 and 08 on PC. I did also get 10 on PS3. It wasn’t bad. The micro transactions were meh, but kind of addicting. Since then I’ve wanted to get the latest Madden every year, but they always get such bad reviews that it’s hard to justify spending $60-70 dollars.

The worst Madden game is the one they keep releasing every year. It's the same game every year!

This is hilarious! I never experienced any of these glitches, but now I want to go back and play and see if I do. I have it for PS4. The funny thing is, this is only the second Madden game I ever bought and thought that they seemed to run slow, but I figured, what do I know, it's only my second Madden game. My first was Madden 13, the one you say killed Madden😆. Great video, and at least I know it ain't just me when I feel I'm experiencing mediocre football games.

@@sambridgers9543 I’m being cautiously optimistic, but I’m still expecting it to be bleh. I mostly play madden for franchise (online and offline) and online H2H, seeing those improvements made me smile, but the core game likely still needs a lot of work

@@MrRapmaster19 i agree don't fall for it next gen madden 21 they took huge steps back makes madden 19 look like a good game smh 🤦

After not playing Madden since 16, I bought 19 to try to get back into it, and never made it passed the beginning tutorials. I played a couple games on 21, seems pretty fun

This was the Madden that made me lose the motivation to get any more Maddens. I think I had Madden 20 as well, but that was also kinda meh. Thanks for exposing this game!

Thank you soft drink for helping out our community. Only you , angry joe and moody give us a chance of getting a good game

And somehow it was the first Madden game I truly dove into and played. However, I was new and I only played it a lot because I wanted to learn the ropes, lol. To this day, my opinion has defeintely changed.

I am the same as you, I haven't paid full price for a Madden game in at least a decade. I hadn't bought a new Madden game until I bought Madden 09 on PS3 which I bought for like $10 because I had and LOVED ESPN NFL 2k5. I HATED Madden 09 and then bought Madden 11 for $10. I loved Madden 11 and still play it all the time. It is my go to Madden game. I just recently bought Madden 21 for $20. It isn't a terrible game, as long as you only paid $20 or less for it. If I had paid full price for it, I would be pissed. It really is something how Madden 21 isn't nearly as good as ESPN NFL 2k5. Madden has CLEARLY put all their resources and energy into Ultimate Team and not on game play, presentation or fun. Thanks for all your great videos.

i like that sorry not sorry energy at the end

I played every madden game since 05. For the last 4 games, I’ve waited for it to either drop in price, or wait till it’s free on ea access. Never am I paying full price for a Madden game, or till at least I feel the same joy from when I played 2012

I used to not like him but stay subbed but after awhile the memories went away and I started 100% agreeing

I got 19 and 20 the years they released. I was so excited. I can’t even play them now.

You weren't alone my friend. I was on the hype train when I saw it was coming to PC. I will put it this way, I had never asked for a refund on a game up to that point, and haven't since (Madden 19 is the lone exception to that). Madden 19 quite literally dropped the ball on this one! It aggravates me that games suck now, cause there are free agents I want to try to make superstars in a madden franchise mode, but the game sucks so much and is so lacking of depth that it isn't even worth trying. like just why?! Sorry you had to fall for the hype too my dude.

I love that I got a Madden 22 ad while watching this

I had a similar shock going from 08 to 2013. Like you said most the game was missing. I was so excited to being incredibly confused. I thought I was missing something 😂 like it was beyond my understanding

I rented Madden 19 from a red box.. I remember putting it in waiting for it to "update".. then I returned a kickoff, and said nope. I took the disk out and brought it back. Called redbox and said i returned the game after an hour and got a refund.

Madden 19 made me stop buying the game altogether. Didn’t think the gameplay would have been worse than 18 but it definitely was.

19 and 21 are two of the worst games i’ve ever played in my entire life gaming

The worst Madden football with the worst behaved NFL star athlete on the cover in Antonio Brown.

yeah that makes it even worse

the reviews these games get every year are so frequent that they’re as common on the game box as the title, every year is “the best yet”

I'll say this, Madden 19 was so terrible, I actually enjoyed it.

The animation warping in I remember being especially bad where if someone just juke or spun in your general area it sucked your guy into an animation where he’d fall on his ass

I legit had The exact same feeling when I went from madden 07 to madden 15. I was so pissed

I had madden 19 for three years and I gotta say you are correct. I’m just excited to get Madden 22 because this is EA’s chance to bounce back from 21

You're right. 19, 21 and 22 were all awful, but 20 was bad.

When bro said "I was trying to see if anyone could see what I see..." I felt that. 💯

SOFTDRINKTV is and has been since its inception, A wonderfully entertaining and insightful look into the world of sports video games particularly EA'S Madden NFL series. Anybody even thinking "he's a nuisance" probably likes the madden we have today, and continues blowing every hard-earned dime they make on a terribly awful game mode that is solely there for the purpose of making $$$. But for the rest of us, we sincerely hope that someone out there(preferably some1 with a whole lot of $$$) finally listens to SOFTDRINKTV and actually makes a good football game.

The fact that IGN rated this game and 8.9 is beyond me smh

Yup. I played the free trial of Madden 22 and it is trash. The free trail was dropped on Thursday to kick off the new NFL season

I feel like you could make a whole series like this about the MLB The Show games. It's been the SAME EXACT GAME for almost a decade

It’s depressing that Madden is the only football game out there and sucks.

tbh the only good part about this game was you could flip into the endzone as Antonio brown.
