I know it's unrelated, but I figured you'd want to know this: NFL 2K5's Xbox version is now fully playable on the Xemu emulator glitch-free, in higher resolutions, and at a solid 60fps.

@@abzhuofficial It was the last generation of discrepancies between Xbox and PS versions. Although, I 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 Madden had one version, developed for the PS2 and ported to other platforms, because EA. Some games, like the Splinter Cell franchise, had entirely different games developed by different studios for Xbox and PS2, respectively. Nowadays, even if one console is more powerful than the other, it'll get the same version as the other, which is why the modern spec debates between PS and Xbox are so silly; both get essentially identical versions.

Big facts! I played the mess out of this when it came out with fellow peewee football teammates. We even adopted the throwoff rule when we would play outside and even into middle school
I remember watching a video on tour, and during a guys single game, you could hear Wingos commentary loop SO MUCH
I remember liking this game when I first played it, but I then played Street years later and realised how awful it was. By the way, Street 3 was very underrated I think, the variety of game types was fun.

Well this youtuber has trash opinions so
I remember the devs doing an interview in EGM and the involvement of the NFL is definitely a true thing; they talked about how league reps had to not just approve everything, but it was their idea of the premise that the "Tour" was a sanctioned league event, because they didn't like the "ghetto" connotations of pickup football and stylized tackles in Street (it's also why the players only wear their jerseys in Street 3, that was the NFL's call too) It was just a tough time when the Ginger Hammer was trying to basically make the league image different from the mid-00s of the Ochocincos, etc.
oh my days nfl tour one of the GAMES of all time
What about the unreleased ‘NFL Pour’? That was the game they were developing where you play as various NFL players pouring out various liquids and solids. Aaron Rodgers Pour rating was a 98 and his Salt Pour was off the charts.
I played NFL Tour (Demo Version) and I have to be honest. I don't remember a thing from the game. That being said it isn't a complete disaster. Though it could have been executed much better.
Imagine SoftDrinks just had a 3 second video and said, "Madden."
I owned this game when it came out, and I still have incredible memories playing this while Superstar with Lupe Fiasco repeated on the soundtrack. This is nowhere near the worst football game ever I’d play it’s gameplay 100 times out of 100 before playing Madden 23

What was so fun about it. All the reviews are terrible and gameplay that I seen from it it looks boring compares to NFL streets. So what was so good about it? I see a lot of y'all Fanboys of this game in the comment section saying y'all liked it but none of y'all are saying what's good about it. 🤔
If anyone wants to play a football game in a smaller field and with walls, Arena Football: Road To Glory of PS2 is the best option. It's a mini Madden (use the same engine of PS2 Maddens) with the Arena Football League license, but works great in PCSX2. And while is not a perfect game by any means (no career mode, just season mode), with the right sliders you can have a ton of fun. Also, i like the idea of unlocking past AFL teams and using the af2 ones. About NFL Tour i remember seeing pictures but i absolutely forgot about the existence of that game. I understand why this game is forgotten.
Ironically, me and my cousin loved nfl street 2 so much, we got nfl tour since we both had the new gen consoles. We would play it for hours but sadly we knew it wasn’t the same
Ever considered doing a Madden 15 retrospective? I saw gameplay on my feed earlier and couldn’t help but wonder what Madden could be today with current graphics worked into the Ignite engine with the supposed “hundreds” of catching, tackling, and throwing animations.
And of course, out of all the Madden games, a Charger has to be on the cover of the worst NFL game EVER.
The stadium looks like superstar ko's 💀
I really hate how stiff and “serious” sports games have become. A lot of media has become that way, actually. There’s no more experimentation and too much corporate control.
Isn’t part of the reason the nfl street games got nerfed and then killed because the NFL was cracking down on the game being so arcade like with the violence - even in regular madden for example, they made the game change it so there was no more in game injuries being head related
Get this man to 200k already omg
Love these videos! Can you do one on Madden 17 - the last Madden to use the Ignite Engine and the first Madden to bring back the CPU vs CPU watched mode?

Madden 16-17 had to be the most decent maddens on the PS4 era because frostbite is horrible
So, SoftDrink, I just want to correct you on something here, because it's a common misconception and I really love the history. You say that, because punting and kicking aren't present, the "foot" part of football is missing. Etymologically, this is untrue. Though Association Football (aka, soccer in the States) fans accuse American Football of not utilizing the feet via kicking, the name for these games in *both* major branches of football "codes" stems not from the fact that one moves the ball with their feet, but rather because the game itself is played *on foot.* Hence, even without kicking or punting, this can rightly be called "football," because the name of the game simply indicates that it is played on foot. As to why other games, then, like basketball and baseball don't follow this same etymology despite being played on foot, I'm not entirely certain, but I *think* it's because they don't really fall under the parameters of the two major branches of football code, Rugby Football and Association Football.

It's not the worst, it's definitely the most bland and the worst of the NFL Street series, and the worst Arcade Football game that I can think of. As for the worst? Pro Quarterback (SNES/Genesis), NFL '97 (Saturn), Jimmy Johnson's VR Football 98' (PS1), NFL Full Contact (PS1) and NFL Quarterback Club 2001 (N64/Dreamcast) Are good contenders for god awful

You unlocked a deeeeep memory with the Gamebreaker feature on the old game wow. But ngl I loved playing NFL Tour as a demo on x360. Idk anyone that would actually purchase that game when you could just get the real games.
If you told this game was part of the NFL Street series I wouldn't believe you. That's how bad this game was.
This is the WORST football game ever made. Was soo disappointed as a kid smh.
Ngl your videos are fire 😂
"Football video games never should be controlled by a monopoly, it should be open to all people who want to develop with no boundries, that would be not very American to have no competition". Unknown source Probably John Madden himself.
The greatest day ever. My PS5 has finally arrived, and we finally have a new retrospective 😃
I picked this game up a few months ago, and I thought it was pretty fun. Just super simple party game controls. I get that people wanted a more immersive NFL arcade experience, but I thought it was fun just button mashing and breaking 30 tackles in a row. Edit: Nvm just saw it was 40 dollars it is not worth 15
Where u get updated rosters for NFL Street 2?
Great video like always 😊 I've started a sports video game collection
Will you ever make a video on NFL Arcade on the Xbox 360?
When he’s crediting Modern Madden’s as something that can be good over this, that’s a high achievement lol
Hahaha it says no views but has 7 likes already! Man that’s how great this channel is! Likes in under 30 seconds of debut 🔥🔥🔥❤️
Insane how they had more technology to work with and could have made NFL Street 2's depth into something amazing. Creators in that era had so much more heart and care, the whole idea of Own the City was so creative. You got cutscenes, minigames, great music, team customizing, outfits/jewelry, humor, no commentary needed. The jump from Street 1 to 2 is real progression. I would love to know at what pinpoint they stopped giving a fuck with these games. How could they advertise this game with how little it had to offer? They made something enough to have a commercial out of and were done. Meanwhile I'm sure Street 2 was undermarketed and is legendary
As a 10 year old i loved this game, but only as a 1v1 against friends. Presentation was great, it felt good, but then youd play nfl street again and realize its lacking in almost every direction.

The one EA game that I was very interested was 3ds version of Only nfl game you could set how many down and how many players you want and set up your own play-off set up ( first 3ds that was made) but I forgot what was the name of it was if I could find my 3ds I would totally play that over any modern madden I think my 3ds is in a box in basement somewhere. Probably in the same spot as my wii and once I get the wii I could start playing old cube ncaa collage game
Huh, I’ve literally never heard of this game. That’s probably a good thing.
Idk how this is the worst when every Madden the last decade has been bad lol
EA: we're making another NFL Arcade game NFL: tone it down, make it child and mother friendly - no funny business. EA: kay, we'll make NFL Tour. NFL: kay EA: ... hm, that doesn't sell well NFL: Hey EA - are you making more of those NFL Tour games? People love NFL Arcade games. Remember NFL Street? EA: Hey, yeah. Kids don't like it anymore. NFL Tour didn't do well. They like realistic card collecting games or something. They pay hundreds of dollars for it. NFL: put everyone on those football-related card collecting games! Slap the Madden logo on it if you need to!
NFL TOUR at the very least still better than Madden NFL 17 to 24.
Who is the audience for this game? It can't be the lovers of NFL Street, nor can it be the lovers of Madden. Just an unremarkable game.
It was the first release on a new system.. those games are always bad..
When’s a NFS most wanted 05 retospective?
Played this game for an hour and never touched it again.
I would MUCH rather play NFL Tour than NFL Street 3
The term footnote, in American football comes from the ball bring sort of like a foot.
madden arcade is like this but worse. Same gameplay with things taken out with literally 0 game modes

Bad in the most boring way possible. At least there was an NFL Quarterback Club game on the N64 so bad you couldn't tackle Brett Favre.
I agree the game was bad, but i dont think it killed the Street series. At that time we had 3 NFL streets, 3 NBA streets, like 5 or 6 SSX games, a couple FIFA street games, among other alternative sports games. Because of the saturation I think we were all tired of them. You can only run with a gimmick for so long.
There was this SNES game. Football QB club something. It was just unplayable. This looks decent
They could've just made the next-gen arena football game but they made this
I'm sorry, this is YEARS better than whatever we have now.
