The notion that all opinions merit respect is silly. And rarely is there this idea of truly hating someone for disagreeing. It's almost always because someone's viewpoint is rooted in some kind of bias or bigotry that causes this.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424why shouldn’t those be acceptable? What because you don’t agree it’s no good? So where is the line drawn? Because as of now I can say anything I want about white people and not only is it accepted but praised. Replace the word white with black and i wouldn’t live another day. So who are you to say who can like or dislike another person? Because the reason isn’t acceptable to you? Get out of here dude.
As a long time collector who is also a dedicated avid sports gamer, it's great to see videos like this acknowledging how retro sports games hold such a huge place in gaming history. I have a dedicated area in my gameroom for retro sports games, as they hold many great memories for me. RUclips needs more videos like this.
I loved the 1st 3 madden on genesis 92 and 93 probably my favorite remember getting them played them so much thinking about getting madden 20 year anniversary so I can play madden 93 again
The Only Madden Games I Like Are Madden 93 and Madden 94 Dispite Some of The Tight Gameplay in Madden 94 At Times While Madden 95 is Ok Despite Seeing The Ball Getting Tipped by Players on Pass Plays!
I recently got a mint copy of Madden '92 CIB at a local pawn shop. They were asking $5 for it. When I went up to the bulletproof window to checkout, the manager was busy on the phone. He motioned to me "whatcha got?" I held up the game and he said "just take it, don't worry about it". SWEET! Can't wait to play it when my childhood best friend moves up to my same town in a month!
Only a few people really compare these games year-by-year, and I appreciate something more in-depth for those wanting to buy a copy. I'd like to see more of these for EA sports games like NHL or NBA!
John Madden was a legend. He will be very sorely missed :(. I am paying tribute to him by playing through a bunch of the old Genesis and Madden games I own.
@@angryretrogamer7313 I just wish that EA would up the quality of their Madden games. I haven't liked a Madden game since the early to mid 2000s. They just feel like the same shit every year and it seems they only get worse and not better. I am definitely a big fan of the original 16-32 bit era and I also enjoyed some of the GameCube and PS2 Madden games a lot. It just seems that they don't give a damn about the series and it really just pisses all over John Madden's legacy.
I played Madden 96 endlessly back in the day. The speed is a bit over the top, but still fun to play overall. And you can actually read the jersey numbers on the players. Never understood why they took that feature away in subsequent years.
Yep! Holds a special place in my heart because it was the last year the Eagles rocked the Kelly Green jerseys, and also it was Ricky Waters first year in Philly, and I found him to be the best player in the game
America. The only country where they can call a game football in which they primarily use their hands! Being a British person, football means something different to me. I never understood the rules to American Football. it seemed way to overly complicated compared to Rugby (The game it was based on, apparently. (Don't shoot me I am only the piano player.)). Though, there were never any good Rugby games on any console or PC. Well, none that I have found, anyway. Thanks again John!
Madden 92 for Genesis was my first...94 holds a special place in my heart cuz of all the all time teams...and i played the heck out of 95....i have a brother who is deceased now that i played with that so for those reasons i still hold that one close...96 was fun but yeah fast...and by 97 i was on PlayStation. Great video, brought back some memories! Btw anyone ever tell you, you resemble Rick Steiner lol
92 is my favorite Madden since my older brother had it and it brings back strong memories. It taught me the general rules well too. My all the favorite football game were the NFL2K games on Dreamcast and PS2. I think they are still better than the contemporary Madden games as they didn't veer too far in sim and had the arcade flair IMO! As a Bucs fan they added the pirate shop from Raymond James way before Madden too.
Yes!! Those games were so good. I played NFL 2k on Dreamcast at my friends house and of course madden 06 on my ps2. We had so much fun but could get very competitive lol. Great games
fun fact about Madden '95 he forgot to mention, at the start window, if you pressed BACAC , you could add the then-expansion Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars (this *ONLY* worked in Exhibition mode)
I liked the one's he liked least, Madden 94 and Madden 95. However, ironically the best football game on the Sega Genesis in my opinion is Bill Walsh 95 since it takes everything that was good in Madden 94 (graphics) and Madden 95(windowless passing and 2 point conversions) combined into one excellent game with lots of atmosphere.
Bill walsh 95 was good. I like madden 95. It feels accurate to me. Gamecplay is great. More control on everything. Stats are nice. The high stepping was the burst of speed 😂
I've overlooked 92 and 93 before, thanks for your insight on these I'll be sure to pick them up! They sound like a blast. I've been mainly playing 95 and 97. Could you do a ranking of NBA Live games? Curious to hear your breakdown.
Yes! Lets talk Madden. The first Madden blew my mind. The first Madden experience for me really started in Madden 94. Lots and lots of memories. Then after 94, my next Madden was 97 on the PlayStation. I only played a few games there. In 94 I had played several seasons with Giants, Steelers and Raiders. Then came 98, where I started to create athletes. I even played with Cardinals for two seasons. My first team there was Pittsburgh. Started the season 0-3, but finished at 12-4. Then Madden 99, then on to PS2 Madden 2001 where I took my Raiders into a double decade of dominance. 23 Super Bowls back to back covering Madden 2001 for six seasons, Madden 2003 for six seasons, then Madden 2004 for 9 seasons nonstop. Think I'll have to make a video about that lol. I haven't played much Madden lately, but as of now, I'm using Madden 15 and I'm slowly creating athletes from the 90s, 80s, and beyond. I'm calling it Madden Legends. Yes I'm using players real numbers and physical attributes and giving them player ratings of 99. I made Dan Mario with the Mark brothers, Mark "Super" Duper and Mark Clayton along with MLB Zack Thomas. For the Chiefs I made Christian Okoye, and man it looks just like him. The reason I'm doing this is because Madden is just too easy for me, and at the All-Madden level. So I'm creating all these Legends to give me a good challenge. I just love football
Those are, in my opinion the best Madden football games there ever were. I had so much fun playing those with friends. Can you do the basketball games on the Genesis. The one I remember the most was Bulls vs Blazers.
I’d like to have a complete Madden collection on the Genesis. Even if I’m just mildly interested in them. Also the camera quality of your videos has gotten real good. Excellent job as always.
I've played all of them at some point but 93 is my favorite to this year. I like hearing John Madden throw in his little comments. It's essentially the original game with all teams voice and the ambulance. Best one for me is 93 Loving these rankings videos thanks John
Personally, I would rank the original John Madden an A, but without a doubt, we both agree that '92 was the best version of Madden. I rented '93 and '94, but was just never convinced that they were as good as those earlier versions. It was shortly thereafter that I handed down my original Genesis to my brother, but for some reason, I held on to those two games (along with Lakers vs. Celtics and the NBA Playoffs). I decided to rebuild my Genesis collection with all the games I owned (and about 100 more!) about 6 years ago, but I am sooo glad that I still have my original Maddens!
Fantasic video! Huge sports game fan, and Madden and the NHL series are what started it all for me on the Genesis. LOVE Madden 91, but Madden 90 was my first.
It’s Football, My favorite Madden is Madden 18 because of the campaign. Also early Congrats on 100K Subs. Been a huge fan since I saw almost every of your complete set videos especially Super Nintendo. Keep on Collecting John Hancock.
I'm still found of the OG Madden and have a CIB version after that I would go with Madden 93. It's a tragedy what EA and the current Madden franchise is currently. The last good NFL licensed game is ESPN NFL 2K5 on the OG XBOX.
FWIW, I personally think that, as far as the “modern-ish” era is concerned, Madden hit its peak with its 2004-05 iterations. The Playmaker feature was a huge leap for the series, and led to some high scoring games in 2004. Of course, 2005 balanced out the game with Playmaker emphasis on the Defensive side, making games among human opponents compelling for sure! So yeah, 2005 was arguably the best Madden of that era - and it needed to be. While one could argue that both games were very good, you just couldn’t ignore the value proposition Sega threw out there in their final year with the license. So as far as “Bang for the Buck” is concerned, 2K5 was the winner, hands down. For me, Madden derailed with that Passing “cone of death” that they introduced in 2006. Sure, you could disable it, but considering that it was a cornerstone of that year’s version, it really set back the series for me personally - especially when your favorite team’s QB had a cone that was barely the width of a receiver!
Madden 92 is S+++ for me, it's one of my favorite sports games. Even beat all madden with every team in the game, and some teams it's kinda hard. Still play it all the time
You should've done the two Bill Walsh College Football games as well as they use the same engine as the Madden ones. A lot of people seems to think Bill Walsh '95 is the best football game on the Genesis.
A lot more people need to talk about these madden gamesNo ultimate team no micro transactions just good football I don’t know if you would be interested John but Some of the games on PS2 (00-10)Are good maybe if you’re interested you could rank them 94 95 and 2005 are my favorites
My favorite version of the Sega genesis madden games was a variation of madden '93. Called "mutant league football", that was a favorite of my middle school friends and me.
95 was the one I played the most as a kid so it has a special place in my heart though I agree it looks worse than previous entries. I did really like the sports-show presentation they did with the Fox Sports tie-in. 92 is my overall favorite though. 96 is a fun game but it's kind of busted since the players are out of scale with the field and the speed is insane. It gives it a more arcadey feel but it's maybe a little too crazy at time with players who can leap for 8 yards. 1997 is an impressive simulation for the Genesis but I understand it not appealing to people who prefer the earlier gameplay feel (I do too) but 97 is easily the best sim-style football game on the Genesis. 98 is sadly a lazy, buggy update for a console that was on its last legs. My favorite football game overall on the Genesis is easily Bill Walsh College Football 95 which combines all of the best aspects of Madden 94 and 95.
I got John Madden Football as a Christmas gift in 94, when I was a brand new football fan. I still like the way it plays, except when the A.I. doesn't put up a good fight at the end-the CPU may need a touchdown with the final seconds ticking away, and choose run on 4th down at midfield. I love when it cuts to show you other playoff games during halftime. I love the overly intense intro music. The ending is a bummer; just an image of the trophy and then back to the title screen. Back then in the 90s, I eventually preferred NFL Quarterback Club, but now if I want to play football on Genesis, it's not for a sim game--I go to 2k5 for that-my Genesis footballing is JMF original or 92, or Bill Walsh 95.
@@johnhancockretro Your signature move needs to be called "The Showcase". Its sounds like the name of a move and that word belongs to you now. When I'm 90 and here the word "showcase" your still going to pop in my head. You need to trademark it lol!
Excellent idea for a video. I would emphasize that Madden 93 (maybe 94?) is the last year without the official team names (no NFL license). Some might care about that... not a big deal for me though. My personal favorite team is the 85 Bears, and they are represented in the game (players by number and not by name of course). Madden 93 is definitely worth the purchase if you’re out game hunting and you see it for $5-10. Fun to pop in and play sometimes, even today. Happy gaming my friends!
Its nice to see a person with a RUclips channel enjoy playing sports games. Seems like gamers with RUclips channel don't like sports games. I prefer Madden 96 cuz the Panthers and Jaguars are in it. I miss the ambulance part. Also I enjoy watching john madden story in these games.
I totally agree, Madden 92 was the best Genesis Madden! It's a similar story with the early "NBA Live" games such as Bulls vs. Lakers. EA abandoned the arcade fun factor and opted to go to a more simulation style for the games that followed.

‘97 is my favorite. I’m actually waiting for my Sega to come in the mail now so I can get back into it.
I'm still found of the OG Madden and have a CIB version after that I would go with Madden 93. It's a tragedy what EA and the current Madden franchise is currently. The last good NFL licensed game is ESPN NFL 2K5 on the OG XBOX.
FWIW, I personally think that, as far as the “modern-ish” era is concerned, Madden hit its peak with its 2004-05 iterations. The Playmaker feature was a huge leap for the series, and led to some high scoring games in 2004. Of course, 2005 balanced out the game with Playmaker emphasis on the Defensive side, making games among human opponents compelling for sure!
So yeah, 2005 was arguably the best Madden of that era - and it needed to be. While one could argue that both games were very good, you just couldn’t ignore the value proposition Sega threw out there in their final year with the license. So as far as “Bang for the Buck” is concerned, 2K5 was the winner, hands down. For me, Madden derailed with that Passing “cone of death” that they introduced in 2006. Sure, you could disable it, but considering that it was a cornerstone of that year’s version, it really set back the series for me personally - especially when your favorite team’s QB had a cone that was barely the width of a receiver!

95 was the one I played the most as a kid so it has a special place in my heart though I agree it looks worse than previous entries. I did really like the sports-show presentation they did with the Fox Sports tie-in. 92 is my overall favorite though.
96 is a fun game but it's kind of busted since the players are out of scale with the field and the speed is insane. It gives it a more arcadey feel but it's maybe a little too crazy at time with players who can leap for 8 yards.
1997 is an impressive simulation for the Genesis but I understand it not appealing to people who prefer the earlier gameplay feel (I do too) but 97 is easily the best sim-style football game on the Genesis. 98 is sadly a lazy, buggy update for a console that was on its last legs.
My favorite football game overall on the Genesis is easily Bill Walsh College Football 95 which combines all of the best aspects of Madden 94 and 95.

@@johnhancockretro Your signature move needs to be called "The Showcase". Its sounds like the name of a move and that word belongs to you now. When I'm 90 and here the word "showcase" your still going to pop in my head. You need to trademark it lol!
John Hancock My Favorite Old School Madden Game Was Madden 93 For The Sega!
I think they're all good in their own way but I think the PS2 Maddens are way better. I would like to see you rank all the PS2 Maddens.
10/10 thumbnail lol.

Good video and nice ranking of all the Madden games! I never though there was that many(9).
Glad you enjoyed!
I guess the Megadrive / Genesis Maddens were better than their SNES equivalents? Blast processing and all that. Or no?
Early SNES Maddens are not my favorite. Later ones were better as they were able to be programmed better to reduce the slowdown.
I like this style of videos very helpful for me as I want to play these games with my Analogue systems. Thank you for posting :)
Funny, that’s what I used with each cart to capture footage!
@@johnhancockretro The Mega SG is such a great product. Please do more like this of series games ranked within same console generation very helpful :)
Great video thanks. I hope your next video you can announce 100k subscribers. Doubt the doubters and we will see you in your museum.
Yes! Genesis sports games are the best and I love when reviewers don't dismiss them! Thanks for this please do more!
Madden 92 was the only one I had for the genesis so it's nostalgic for me playing it on a 20inch CRT TV
Madden always has his arms as if going "I don't know". 😂
I have/had the '93 Championship edition.... and it wasn't cheap, but definitely worth it.
Thanks for the information. Excellent video
There’s a cheat code in madden 96 that lets you pick teams from the World League… those London Monarchs memories
Looking fresh in your football gear😁👍🏻also a late congrats on the new 4k tv
Thank you!
Excellent idea for a video. I would emphasize that Madden 93 (maybe 94?) is the last year without the official team names (no NFL license). Some might care about that... not a big deal for me though.
My personal favorite team is the 85 Bears, and they are represented in the game (players by number and not by name of course).
Madden 93 is definitely worth the purchase if you’re out game hunting and you see it for $5-10. Fun to pop in and play sometimes, even today. Happy gaming my friends!
Madden '93 is my jam. No one can beat me with the Bills.
Lol the ambulance just mowing players down
Its nice to see a person with a RUclips channel enjoy playing sports games. Seems like gamers with RUclips channel don't like sports games. I prefer Madden 96 cuz the Panthers and Jaguars are in it. I miss the ambulance part. Also I enjoy watching john madden story in these games.
Great video and I agree wholeheartedly on all points made! Go Jags! Love from the UK John
I totally agree, Madden 92 was the best Genesis Madden! It's a similar story with the early "NBA Live" games such as Bulls vs. Lakers. EA abandoned the arcade fun factor and opted to go to a more simulation style for the games that followed.
It's interesting to see how different all the Genesis Maddens were when the ones their pumping out today are literally the same game every year lol
Is that a Rodney Peete jersey? Man, as a Lions Fan it brings back memories of the 95 playoff loss...

@@johnhancockretro Thanks! That makes alot more sense!
Glad to see you rocking the green man. Fly Eagles Fly!
Yes!!
True fans root for their teams thick and thin.
And as Eagles fans, we've seen plenty of both! Haha!
@@Ravenwing888 kinda sad the eagles aren’t doing so good this time aroun’ but there’s just something about them that I can’t get enough of
@@JusticePyro We may just turn the corner yet man. Besides, what else are we gonna do? Root for the Cowboys? XD
Nice! Cool thumbnail!
Thanks!
BRADY=GOAT!!!!
JOHN =GOAT of Collecting!!!!
Let’s get him to 100K!
When you said EA kept adding more features to Madden, I had to do a double take...that hasn't been said for EA and Madden for over 15 years.
93 had great gameplay my personal favorite I grew up with. 96 and 98 I remember were good. I liked genesis versions better but I first got it on snes.
