Here in Brazil the SNES soccer games were super popular (obviously 😁) and there was a player in the Brazilian national team called Allejo that was really overpowered 😂 Those games weren't licensed, so his name is made up, but he became a pop culture legend here, you can even find jerseys with his name 😂
Eu estava prestes a comentar exatamente sobre isso. O menino Allejo era um monstro. For those who do not know, Allejo was inspired by a real soccer player with the nickname Bebeto.
The main guy that always sticks out to me is Tom Chambers in "Lakers vs Celtics and the NBA playoffs" for Genesis. He was a pretty good player in real life but an unstoppable MVP in the game. They gave him a double pump dunk animation that you could launch into from just outside the key, and he was the only one in the game who could do it. It seemed completely unblockable and he'd suddenly be levitating halfway across the screen.
International Superstar Soccer: The whole Germany squad is insanely OP, you can score goals (legit way) from almost as half the field without any issue, they have max stamina (so they won't tire as fast as the rest). Another OP character on the same game : Allejo (Brasil top star) dude is insanely fast (can run from his own goalkeeper area to the rival's without breaking a sweat), has the best ball control in the whole game and he's sure to hit a good pass or center 98% of the time; luckily in order for him to not break the game his stamina is one of the worst so he gets tired real fast, but if you maximize his time he's a nightmare.
Keep in mind both the original ISS and the Deluxe version were finalized just after 1994 WC, that Brazil won, and Germany won the previous, 1990 event. I remember Germany being just a robot army in most soccer games of the era, particularly in Super Soccer, where they were faster, harder and meaner than the secret Nintendo Boss Team you needed to defeat after them.
The reason why Roenick is a god on the Genesis but just "good" on the SNES is because the Genesis features a weight bug where the heavier a player is the more easily they get checked off the puck. Roenick's weight is relatively low. This is why in '94 Lindros sucks and Theo Fleury is Sergei Mozyakin levels of amazeballs.
One of the reasons I prefer the SNES version, but also the passing and offensive awareness of CPUs in SNES is way better. Try doing nothing but one timers on both games and watch how many times they get into better positions on SNES
That's really interesting -- never knew that all these years. The real god in NHL 94 though is "anyone who just had a one-timer set up for them". Pretty sure if my grandmother was a character in NHL 94 her one-timers would be launched at 90 MPH with startling accuracy.
Well that explains it. I always wondered why Igor Larionov could not be hit in that game. Skate straight down the middle and everyone just bounces off.
Randy Moss on the Patriots in Madden 08 was completely OP. He caught EVERYTHING. There was no point in using any other player on the team. Even running the ball made no sense, just throw it to Moss. Honorable mention: Air Dog on NBA Jam. Wow!
Madden 2000-2004. Throw it deep to Moss and have him return kickoffs. 😁 couldn't be stopped. Ran the ball back to at least the 45 every time on kick offs. He caught almost every deep pass
Can't believe someone else found out about Davison for UNC!! I dominated that game (and any friend) with him back in the day! Great find and great video!!! XD
Lark on OK State was even better, the game calculated your 3pt shooting directly off the players % and lark's was 75%. I imagine he went 3-4 that year or something he was a PF.
@@holdingholder they used fictional players for that game because college players don't get compensated for their likeness. Could be they base the stats off real players and just changed the names though.
I've been a long time fan of this channel and an even longer time dedicated member of the nhl94 community... seriously, that was such a great surprise to hear you give a throw to the nhl94.com group! Great video as always SNES D and thank you for giving the group some kudos!
When me and my friends played each other in ‘94 we had a ‘no wrap around’ rule because it was too easy to score if you went around behind the goalie then cut across in front of him. But I let them try to score however they wanted because I was the only one who did manual goalie. Good times.
Teemu Selanne’s rookie season in ‘92-93 was like something out of a NHL94 season. 84 games played, 76 goals, 56 assists for 132 points. Absolutely bananas.
Not having Jordan in NBA games was exceedingly disappointing at the time. But then NBA street vol 2 came out and totally made up for it with three Jordan's.
Jordan was there from the late 80's to the early 90's in NBA games. He was in NBA Live '96, too. I also know that he was available in NBA Live 2000. I'm fairly sure he was only absent in '94, '95, and from '97 - '99. It's really nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be.
@@bubufubu I think he was in Nba live 97 as Rostersg for the Bulls just looking at his stats its overpowered as well, 99 offensive ability and 99 defensive ability with 95 field goal rating and 91 3-pt rating.
Thanks for talking sports games on your channel. Ken Griffey Jr baseball was one of my favorites back in the day and deserves the praise. Seems like it's rare to get a cross of a gamer and sports fan, usually the sports guys only play sports games and don't buy other games. And since most youtube personalities are traditionally more 'gamers' than sports fans they don't cover the sports series history. It's rare to find a "gamer" who is also a sports fan and can wax poetic on the history of sports games. It's a nice change of pace and a welcome addition to your great content library.
"That should of been a single right there“ Lol he mashed it down the left field line, past the left fielder and bounced off the corner. That's a double any day of the week in any game and in the real world. Great video though. 😊
'mediocre at best games done excruciatingly long' is the greatest way to describe basketball games in the 16 bit era. I played bulls vs blazers a couple nights ago and I just did the same move over and over until tim hardaway got tired and i had to sub in Sarunas Marciulionis and I had him do the same layup starting from the free throw line, while occasionally throwing in a three point attempt. Fun times lol
NBA Jam 99 for N64, going for 1,000 points in a game with Gary Payton. Strategy was basically abusing other player until they dropped ball, make fastest easiest baskets except when on fire take 3s. At end of 3rd quarter I had over 750 points, on pace to just get over 1,000 and the game froze.
roenick! that whole team was crazy. chelios, larked, smith & belfour we’re insane. & davison on NCAA. you really did your homework with this video. RESPECT.
I was gonna mention Bones Jackson, but then you brought him up. Then, I was gonna mention Bones Jackson for MLH, but then you brought him up in that game too. Then...I had nothing left. Great vid!
NHLPA '93 on SNES, NY Ranger's have a defenseman named Kris King and he was unbeatable in fighting. Those 90's hockey games did a decent job of not letting Gretzky run away with things like Jordan did.
Randy Moss on NFL 2K2 in the Dreamcast version was a beast. I would always choose the Vikings when playing against my brother who chose our home team Bucs.
This is a great video. I'm glad there's someone on RUclips who covers retro sports games. Those are usually ignored by a lot of retro gamers but I played more sports games than any other genre as a kid.
Mitch Richmond and Glen Rice didn’t miss in Live ‘95. Also shout out to maxed out Bill Laimbeer from Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball. As soon as you pass the half court line and jacked up a shot he would hit it 99% of the time.
Mitch Richmond and the Golden State Warriors helped me beat my best friends older obnoxious brother on NBA Live 95 when we were kids. Seemed he never missed. I would beat him over and over. He would get so mad. Beating him is still gratifying 25 years later.
People seem to forget how damn good he was because he played in the Jordan Era. Fun fact: many try to downplay the back to back championships Houston won because Jordan was "retired" for one of them and was #45 Jordan for the other. What they fail to mention is that the Rockets just had Chicago's number during that era simply because Dream was so damn good and the Bulls centers always sucked. Not forgetting to mention that Mad Max Vernon Maxwell was as close to a Jordan "stopper" as one could be in his prime. If you don't believe me, go look at the stats from that era in a head to head. Or better yet see if you can find some old game footage. Fact of the matter is that Dream was leading those Championship teams to the titles those years regardless of Jordan "retiring" or not.
I scrolled until I found this. Sub in Jeff Ruland and you have two of the fastest dudes in the game in your front court. Unstoppable. Jon Sundvold for 3s.
The funny thing about sanders is that he really wasn’t known for his running speed. He was like a cat, just making people looking silly trying to tackle him but he didn’t have gazelle like speed in the open field. Best running back of all time though, that’s for sure.
I played most of those games. The NCAA basketball game wasn't the greatest game ever made, but I really enjoyed it. I remember Davidson. The trick was finding the players that had a high 3pt% and you could pretty much just let them shoot inside the half court line all day. There was one player, and I want to say he was on Oklahoma St. that was the best at it.
Fun fact: When they made the Mutant League Saturday morning cartoon show, "Bones" was the main character (not sure if they included his last name in the show or not.) That was, by far, my favorite Saturday Morning Cartoon, even though it had a short run. It was INCREDIBLY violent. Characters would have their limbs ripped off, decapitated heads kicked through field goals, all sorts of stuff. It was justified because after the game they could go into a healing pod that would fix them up regardless of how bad the injury/death was. They even had an episode referring to the 1972 rugby team that crashed in the Andes and had to cannibalize each other to survive. In that episode, a half lizard/half man character (who was Bone's best friend/sidekick/Scottie Pippen) had to chop off his tail so everyone could eat it. They even offered to give him a piece, but he refused. I haven't seen that episode in over 20 years, but it affected me so much I still remember it, that scene specifically. I mean, to offer someone a piece of his own, freshly cooked limb, seemed so wrong. 90s cartoons were crazy.
In NCAA Basketball on the SNES there's also a guy on Oklahoma State who is a CENTER, and could hit half court 3s without fail. His name was Lark and I suspect he was rated high because of Big Country Bryant Reeves.
Not only legends from the eighties and nineties but also way before that. When I got that game and accidentally unlocked Jordan because I wanted to create him in the league. I decided to check who was "hidden" in there. It has the entire rookie class plus superstars going back to Bill Russell and Bob Cousy with most everyone in between. I spent an insane amount of time and searched through decades of superstars to see who they had and created my own league with modified rosters of old and new. As a result that was probably my most favorite basketball game of all time and in fact I still have and play it to this day.
@@shidoshikami same here... I went to make a MJ character to put on the Bulls and when I press start it clicked a few times then MJ popped up lol...then I did Bird, Magic, ect..I said let me try Damon Stoutamire lol I only put the top ten draft picks tho...
NBA Live 95. Mitch Richmond shooting 3's. My friend said he'd stop playing me cause he thought I had a cheat code on. So I switched to the Pacers and shot 3's with Reggie Miller. Both guys don't miss. My friend stopped playing that game with me.
SNESDrunk on its own is good, but SNESDrunk covering anything sports related always rules. It's a huge side of gaming that most channels rarely touch, so this kind of coverage is always appreciated! EDIT: "Yeah I hate the Blackhawks." Kinda wondered if it was a coincidence your tastes were similar to mine, but nope, hating the Blackhawks is a *brotherhood.* Happy to say my Blues haven't been beat for the Cup yet! ...even if it's impossible for them to lose right now 😜
Really fun video! A couple to add: 1. Mahmoud Abdul Rauf in NBA Live 95. If you got him to the free throw line he'd basically do a 360 dunk from there. Also was unreal at 3 pointers. 2. Mike Gartner in NHLPA 93. Getting 10 goals in a game with him was a breeze.
I could care less about sports and you might as well have been speaking German through half of that, but I still enjoyed the video cause you're awesome, dude.
@Tony M. I reserve caring as little as possible for reality TV and fashion. Sports is only slightly higher, so saying I COULDN'T care less would technically be lying. ... You damn smartass ;)
Scottie was really good in most of the NBA Jam series to make up for the lack of Michael Jordan. The Bulls were the best team in that era and wouldn't properly reflect that without Scottie getting super buffed.
When I saw the familiar blue background and that you were playing with UNC, I forgot the name but remembered a legend. I couldn't stand the Tar Heels, but Davison was Averaging around 50 points a game and an undefeated season for that weekend. Thanks for the memory flashback dude
Barry Sanders used to literally smoke cigarettes in the back of the stadium then go directly inside it and make grown men look like toddlers trying to chase a chicken. Best running back I've ever personally seen.
Before watching this video, I knew you were going to say Bo. Everyone knows about Bo. However, much to my delight, you mentioned JR for NHL 94. He was a damn good player in that game.
I've never even played NHL '94 but I've always found it kind of random that Roenick of all players was almost unfairly dominant. He was a great player and everything but that was a league that had Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.
Weird glitch in Roger Clemens MVP Baseball - you can hit a home run in nearly every at bat with Minnesota catcher Brian Harper (named B. Harpring in the game, I believe - no MLBPA license) provides you get ahead of the pitch and pull the ball. I think the pennant race mode in that game was 40 regular season games, covering July, August and September, and I was able to hit 200 HR by my own tally with Harper.
Madden NFL '94 - Emmitt Smith, Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders... Deion Sanders... Bruce Smith, Reggie White. Miles ahead of their position peers. NHL '94 - Mario Lemieux... can skate through a wall of fire & do anything he wants. 100 rating.
There exists a version of NBA Jam that does include him but it was never released. I think Turmell once said that he would dump a ROM of it if he still had it, but I dunno if he ever found it.
One really good example is with the old NES football game called "John Elways' Quarterback". It was a pretty simple football game that was uninspired at best, but it had a crazy glitch where if you threw the ball to a certain player choosing a certain plat the player would be either stupidly slow or so ridiculously fast he'd give Sonic a run for his money! He was so fast he could make the entire field in 4 seconds!
Oklahoma State University, 4 of the starters can stroke from 3. Then there is a dude on the bench that shots a high percentage you can put in to take out the one guy that can't shoot well. One dude shoots 70٪ from 3.
Speaking of NCAA Basketball, anybody ever heard of Oklahoma State University? 4 for of the 5 starters can stroke it from 3. There is a dude on the bench you can substitute for the one guy that doesn't shoot well from 3. There is even someone who shoots 70% from 3 on that squad. 70%!!!
Here are some others from the 16 bit era: Emmitt Smith - Madden '94 (Genesis) Barry Sanders - Madden '94 (Genesis) Jerry Rice - Madden '94 (Genesis) Cliff Robinson - NBA Live '95 (Genesis) Jeremy Roenick - NHLPA '93 (Genesis) Kordell Stewart - Bill Walsh '95 (Genesis) Howard Johnson - Sports Talk Baseball (Genesis) Michael Jordan - Tecmo Super NBA Basketball Ed O'Bannon - Coach K College Basketball (Genesis) I want to give my favorite SNES sports game, NBA Give N Go a shout out, but I don't recall any players being that overpowered - comparatively speaking.
I used to like this game when it first came out...I'll share one I discovered by mistake...the old SNES TECMO Super NBA Basketball...I discovered that LARRY BIRD makes like 99.9% of 3-points from the sides...I literally used to beat the game with over 100points in 3's with just LARRY freaking BIRD.
You wanna talk about some mediocre or bad games done excruciatingly slow. Try beating Super Dodge ball for the NES on the hardest difficulty, only using the curve ball.
@@Kylora2112 I don't know, it's pretty fun but my copy glitches all the time. I think I would rather jump off a bridge than try to beat that game with the curve ball. I think it's fastball all the way.
In Playstation One, on the game Winning Eleven 3, Dennis Bergkamp from the Netherlands was also practically unstoppable, you just had to run forward and place your shot for an easy goal
As an Eagle, Charlie Garner was a rookie on Madden ‘94 or ‘95, and he was the fastest dude in the game. The only problem with him is that he couldn’t break a tackle to save his life.
Another crazy OP team from Ken Griffey Jr PMLB were the Atlanta Braves. David Justice, Otis Nixon, Crime Dog McGriff, along with Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz. The Cubs were also nothing to sneeze at with Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Sammy Sosa, Rick Wilkins, Derrick May and Steve Buechele forming a deadly center lineup. As for a game you didn't cover: Mega Man Soccer, and the OP Elec Man. Third fastest character in the game behind Dr. Wily and Proto Man, weapon hurts most targets, and can exploit the corner shot goal every time.
Lark from OSU in NCAA was even better. I think he had something like 71% rating for 3pt shooting and he was a Center. I always played with OSU and dominated with Lark back in the day.
Glad to see someone else remember Lark. Shooting 3-pointers from center court and hitting 9 of every 10 was ridiculous cheese. I also think there was a Pardow on Baylor who also was a great 3-point shooter. My friend and I would play 20-minute halves and it would turn into a glorified 3-point contest.
Allejo from ISSS! The entire Brazilian team was a bit overpowered but he could score a goal from the locker room with a bicicle kick. Allejo became a pop icon and even a fake documentary was made about him.
The Germany team was waaaaaay OP, the difference was that Brazil was slightly faster but Germany was the real deal; Allejo got needed on all subsequent releases in order to keep the game fair.
During a tourney we had in 7th grade we played NBA Live '95. I was one of the last to pick a team and somehow the Rockets were still available. I played the owner of the game/snes in the semi finals and I couldn't miss from the arc with Cassell. He was furious and stopped the tourney. I know I would've easily won the championship as I was steamrolling everyone. They started a tourney of NBA Jam instead where competition was more even, but I was somehow taken out of that one even though I hadn't lost yet.
I rolled with Quebec. Sakic and Sundin together were just filthy. The SNES gameplay was buttery smooth too. You could set up one timers and deke the goalie at will. I almost never failed to get 10 goals in a game, even with bad teams.
I always thought the Bo Jackson ratings were pretty accurate, the guy was a mutant. Same with Mike Tyson, those one punch knockdowns in the game were something that actually happened.
That NCAA basketball was one of my first games ever. Being a Tarheel fan since around that same time I found Davison and would destroy almost any team and win the championship if I played the entire year and tourney. It was ridiculous. 🤣
Trust me, once you learn his super move, the most dominant athlete in a game is: Tom Chambers in the Sega Genesis 1st EA basketball game: Lakers vs. Celtics and the NBA Playoffs. He has a move that is 100% successful.
Freeway Fred Haha, exactly. We use to call him Jetpack Man. Basically hitting shoot from anywhere above the paint (towards top of TV screen) and he takes off with a double pump slam that never misses.
Tom Chambers for the Phoenix Suns in Lakers Vs Celtics for Sega Genesis is unstoppable. His trademark move in the game is a double clutch dunk and it ALWAYS goes in. Cannot get called for charging. If defender in front, Tom just floats right thru him. Never misses. Never takes charging offensive foul. I had the game as a kid, and playing as Phoenix Suns was the one team unfair to play as when playing 2 players with a friend.
Great choice of a category! This will definitely net you some new followers and helps shed light on great overlooked games. I guarantee you’ll have more ideas in this type of category.. great trivia, I know sports fans will love this and be super surprised!

So glad you brought up Davison in NCAA Basketball.

Indeed he is, and the most OP squad in the same game is Germany.
I personally think that Redonda from Argentina is the most OP in the game

NBA Jam 99 for N64, going for 1,000 points in a game with Gary Payton. Strategy was basically abusing other player until they dropped ball, make fastest easiest baskets except when on fire take 3s. At end of 3rd quarter I had over 750 points, on pace to just get over 1,000 and the game froze.
Tom Chambers in Genesis Lakers vs Celtics game.
craziest signature move ever
Bruh you aint lying
Yea man. Dunking from the 3 point line. SURE bet to score. Good times, 7th grade for me when this game first came out.
The stop pump fake & jam of his in Bulls vs Blazers
That double pump dunk was absurd. Jerry Rice had an unstoppable pass play in the original Madden. Post Up , then the A button
roenick! that whole team was crazy. chelios, larked, smith & belfour we’re insane.
& davison on NCAA. you really did your homework with this video. RESPECT.
I was gonna mention Bones Jackson, but then you brought him up. Then, I was gonna mention Bones Jackson for MLH, but then you brought him up in that game too. Then...I had nothing left. Great vid!
NCAA Basketball (1992) Oklahoma State back up center Lark. Can shoot 3's anywhere on the court without fail.
The video was great, thank you for the effort. But what I really loved was you telling me to have a great day at the end.
Thank you for that.
NHLPA '93 on SNES, NY Ranger's have a defenseman named Kris King and he was unbeatable in fighting. Those 90's hockey games did a decent job of not letting Gretzky run away with things like Jordan did.
Randy Moss on NFL 2K2 in the Dreamcast version was a beast. I would always choose the Vikings when playing against my brother who chose our home team Bucs.
I forget the year, but Michael Vick in one of the Madden seasons was ridiculous
2004. He'd throw long passes with pinpoint accuracy and run past or over anyone who tried to stop him outside of the pocket.
This is a great video. I'm glad there's someone on RUclips who covers retro sports games. Those are usually ignored by a lot of retro gamers but I played more sports games than any other genre as a kid.
Mitch Richmond and Glen Rice didn’t miss in Live ‘95. Also shout out to maxed out Bill Laimbeer from Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball. As soon as you pass the half court line and jacked up a shot he would hit it 99% of the time.
The thumbnail of Bill “Smooth Operator” Clinton doing the sweet finger roll was too much to ignore....
@Winston Galt To qoute the commentators on NBA Jam, "Heating up!" 😂😂
Mitch Richmond and the Golden State Warriors helped me beat my best friends older obnoxious brother on NBA Live 95 when we were kids. Seemed he never missed. I would beat him over and over. He would get so mad. Beating him is still gratifying 25 years later.
Olajuwon wasn't overpowered in that game, they got his abilities perfectly right.
People seem to forget how damn good he was because he played in the Jordan Era. Fun fact: many try to downplay the back to back championships Houston won because Jordan was "retired" for one of them and was #45 Jordan for the other. What they fail to mention is that the Rockets just had Chicago's number during that era simply because Dream was so damn good and the Bulls centers always sucked. Not forgetting to mention that Mad Max Vernon Maxwell was as close to a Jordan "stopper" as one could be in his prime. If you don't believe me, go look at the stats from that era in a head to head. Or better yet see if you can find some old game footage. Fact of the matter is that Dream was leading those Championship teams to the titles those years regardless of Jordan "retiring" or not.
@@kennyhouser3467 Olajuwons Rockets were 5-1 against Jordans Bulls from 91-93 as well.
Barkley in Tecmo NBA Basketball was a beast.
I scrolled until I found this. Sub in Jeff Ruland and you have two of the fastest dudes in the game in your front court. Unstoppable.
Jon Sundvold for 3s.
Great video! You just got a new subscriber. You earned it by covering a subject that hasn't been done to death. Keep up the good work 💪.
Thanks for watching Brandon, plenty more to come
The funny thing about sanders is that he really wasn’t known for his running speed. He was like a cat, just making people looking silly trying to tackle him but he didn’t have gazelle like speed in the open field. Best running back of all time though, that’s for sure.
Don't you ever speak ill about Vlade Divac the man is a national treasure.
He's really one of my favorite international players.
I played most of those games. The NCAA basketball game wasn't the greatest game ever made, but I really enjoyed it. I remember Davidson. The trick was finding the players that had a high 3pt% and you could pretty much just let them shoot inside the half court line all day. There was one player, and I want to say he was on Oklahoma St. that was the best at it.
Fun fact: When they made the Mutant League Saturday morning cartoon show, "Bones" was the main character (not sure if they included his last name in the show or not.)
That was, by far, my favorite Saturday Morning Cartoon, even though it had a short run. It was INCREDIBLY violent. Characters would have their limbs ripped off, decapitated heads kicked through field goals, all sorts of stuff. It was justified because after the game they could go into a healing pod that would fix them up regardless of how bad the injury/death was. They even had an episode referring to the 1972 rugby team that crashed in the Andes and had to cannibalize each other to survive. In that episode, a half lizard/half man character (who was Bone's best friend/sidekick/Scottie Pippen) had to chop off his tail so everyone could eat it. They even offered to give him a piece, but he refused. I haven't seen that episode in over 20 years, but it affected me so much I still remember it, that scene specifically. I mean, to offer someone a piece of his own, freshly cooked limb, seemed so wrong.
90s cartoons were crazy.
I remember that cartoon as well. I think his name was officially Bones "Justice", but I always referred to him as Bones "Jackson" like in the games.
The first episode where Bones spikes a dudes head over the net in volleyball as a distraction so his team can score the winning point was rad.
In NCAA Basketball on the SNES there's also a guy on Oklahoma State who is a CENTER, and could hit half court 3s without fail. His name was Lark and I suspect he was rated high because of Big Country Bryant Reeves.
The snes of nba live 96 you can enter names Jordan Barkley and classic players and rookies and it will add them with all there stats
Not only legends from the eighties and nineties but also way before that. When I got that game and accidentally unlocked Jordan because I wanted to create him in the league. I decided to check who was "hidden" in there. It has the entire rookie class plus superstars going back to Bill Russell and Bob Cousy with most everyone in between. I spent an insane amount of time and searched through decades of superstars to see who they had and created my own league with modified rosters of old and new. As a result that was probably my most favorite basketball game of all time and in fact I still have and play it to this day.
shidoshikami I did the same. I think I ran out of edit slots.
And the rookies of that yr...like Joe Smith
@@shidoshikami same here...
I went to make a MJ character to put on the Bulls and when I press start it clicked a few times then MJ popped up lol...then I did Bird, Magic, ect..I said let me try Damon Stoutamire lol I only put the top ten draft picks tho...
NBA Live 95. Mitch Richmond shooting 3's. My friend said he'd stop playing me cause he thought I had a cheat code on. So I switched to the Pacers and shot 3's with Reggie Miller. Both guys don't miss. My friend stopped playing that game with me.
SNESDrunk on its own is good, but SNESDrunk covering anything sports related always rules. It's a huge side of gaming that most channels rarely touch, so this kind of coverage is always appreciated!
EDIT: "Yeah I hate the Blackhawks." Kinda wondered if it was a coincidence your tastes were similar to mine, but nope, hating the Blackhawks is a *brotherhood.* Happy to say my Blues haven't been beat for the Cup yet! ...even if it's impossible for them to lose right now 😜
Yo I was about to ask if SNESDrunk was from St. Louis! As soon I heard 'i hate the Blackhawks' I got all giddy lol
When you added Barry Sanders you instantly gained a sub ....he was so good on Tecmo Super Bowl too
Air Allnite on David Robinson's supreme court on the Mega Drive/Genuis would hit a 3 from anywhere into the oppositions half
I was coming here to namedrop Air Allnite and Downtown Tate :-D
"David Robinson's Supreme Court" sounds like something you'd see on Futurama, where his head in a jar makes legal rulings.
@@palaceofwisdom9448 I loved that game, it was probably my go to basketball game before the NBA live series came out on the Mega drive.
@@jgoney I would always try to draft Air allnite and Airman jones
Walter Bond could do the same.
Really fun video! A couple to add: 1. Mahmoud Abdul Rauf in NBA Live 95. If you got him to the free throw line he'd basically do a 360 dunk from there. Also was unreal at 3 pointers. 2. Mike Gartner in NHLPA 93. Getting 10 goals in a game with him was a breeze.
I wonder if I could finally see a player achieving a double triple on a game, it seems like Olajuwon is the closest pick for it
i love ideas like this and the consistency and commitment you bring to these videos. Thank you snesdrunk
I could care less about sports and you might as well have been speaking German through half of that, but I still enjoyed the video cause you're awesome, dude.
@Tony M. I reserve caring as little as possible for reality TV and fashion. Sports is only slightly higher, so saying I COULDN'T care less would technically be lying.
... You damn smartass ;)
Um das mal auszusprechen: mein Lieblingsspieler in NHL 94 war natürlich Roenick.
Best video yet, thanks for the trip down memory lane with Hakeem and Barry Sanders and the destruction they caused.
I think I remember Scottie Pippen having almost perfect stats in NBA Hangtime.
He is very good, to the point that when I play with my brothers we ban having pippen on your team at all
Scottie was really good in most of the NBA Jam series to make up for the lack of Michael Jordan. The Bulls were the best team in that era and wouldn't properly reflect that without Scottie getting super buffed.
When I saw the familiar blue background and that you were playing with UNC, I forgot the name but remembered a legend. I couldn't stand the Tar Heels, but Davison was Averaging around 50 points a game and an undefeated season for that weekend. Thanks for the memory flashback dude
no mention of the charlotte hornets in nba jam? alonzo mourning and grand mama larry johnson both with full dunk stats. no other combo like them
kenneth griffin Stockton never missed a open three...never
This shit just brought back memories i forgot i had lol
Barry Sanders used to literally smoke cigarettes in the back of the stadium then go directly inside it and make grown men look like toddlers trying to chase a chicken. Best running back I've ever personally seen.
Wile e coyote from looney tunes bball, his long range special shot scores 99 percent of the time
Before watching this video, I knew you were going to say Bo. Everyone knows about Bo. However, much to my delight, you mentioned JR for NHL 94. He was a damn good player in that game.
I've never even played NHL '94 but I've always found it kind of random that Roenick of all players was almost unfairly dominant. He was a great player and everything but that was a league that had Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.
interesting topic, since I'm no sports guy/gamer. Pretty fun to see OP'd players in these games.
Weird glitch in Roger Clemens MVP Baseball - you can hit a home run in nearly every at bat with Minnesota catcher Brian Harper (named B. Harpring in the game, I believe - no MLBPA license) provides you get ahead of the pitch and pull the ball.
I think the pennant race mode in that game was 40 regular season games, covering July, August and September, and I was able to hit 200 HR by my own tally with Harper.
Total length of video: 479 secs.
Total length of "SNES Drunk": 6.5 secs.
1.36% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk."
NCAA Basketball - Shea and Beal from Seton Hall.
Madden NFL '94 - Emmitt Smith, Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders... Deion Sanders... Bruce Smith, Reggie White. Miles ahead of their position peers.
NHL '94 - Mario Lemieux... can skate through a wall of fire & do anything he wants. 100 rating.
I always hated that Jordan was not in NBA Jam .
There exists a version of NBA Jam that does include him but it was never released. I think Turmell once said that he would dump a ROM of it if he still had it, but I dunno if he ever found it.
Jordan and Griffey have one. They made them but then had to take him out. ruclips.net/video/NU12_OWH7bA/видео.html MUST WATCH for any NBA Jam fan!
One really good example is with the old NES football game called "John Elways' Quarterback". It was a pretty simple football game that was uninspired at best, but it had a crazy glitch where if you threw the ball to a certain player choosing a certain plat the player would be either stupidly slow or so ridiculously fast he'd give Sonic a run for his money! He was so fast he could make the entire field in 4 seconds!
Davison!!! That dude was sick!
Oklahoma State University, 4 of the starters can stroke from 3. Then there is a dude on the bench that shots a high percentage you can put in to take out the one guy that can't shoot well. One dude shoots 70٪ from 3.
Rickey Henderson being able to steal any base at any time is pretty accurate to what he did.
Do one for 8-bit games, people need to know about Paste
Jaleco's Bases Loaded? We played the hell out of that one and its follow up as kids
Speaking of NCAA Basketball, anybody ever heard of Oklahoma State University? 4 for of the 5 starters can stroke it from 3. There is a dude on the bench you can substitute for the one guy that doesn't shoot well from 3. There is even someone who shoots 70% from 3 on that squad. 70%!!!
Was Bill Laimbeer overpowered tho
😂😂😂
Here are some others from the 16 bit era:
Emmitt Smith - Madden '94 (Genesis)
Barry Sanders - Madden '94 (Genesis)
Jerry Rice - Madden '94 (Genesis)
Cliff Robinson - NBA Live '95 (Genesis)
Jeremy Roenick - NHLPA '93 (Genesis)
Kordell Stewart - Bill Walsh '95 (Genesis)
Howard Johnson - Sports Talk Baseball (Genesis)
Michael Jordan - Tecmo Super NBA Basketball
Ed O'Bannon - Coach K College Basketball (Genesis)
I want to give my favorite SNES sports game, NBA Give N Go a shout out, but I don't recall any players being that overpowered - comparatively speaking.
Cliff Robinson? Really?
@@SNESdrunk He was unstoppable, like a super Durant.
I could’ve watched 8 more minutes 👏
I used to like this game when it first came out...I'll share one I discovered by mistake...the old SNES TECMO Super NBA Basketball...I discovered that LARRY BIRD makes like 99.9% of 3-points from the sides...I literally used to beat the game with over 100points in 3's with just LARRY freaking BIRD.
You wanna talk about some mediocre or bad games done excruciatingly slow. Try beating Super Dodge ball for the NES on the hardest difficulty, only using the curve ball.
Super Dodge Ball is awesome, though!
@@Kylora2112 I don't know, it's pretty fun but my copy glitches all the time. I think I would rather jump off a bridge than try to beat that game with the curve ball. I think it's fastball all the way.
In Playstation One, on the game Winning Eleven 3, Dennis Bergkamp from the Netherlands was also practically unstoppable, you just had to run forward and place your shot for an easy goal
1st FIFA for PS1, both Kleivert and Bergkamp were beasts for Netherlands. The orange was stacked
The second Ken Griffey game was not as good IMO.
Totally agree
True
Nintendo was like, "So we made the RBI Baseball clone possible, so what next? How about a crappy Bases Loaded clone!"
But that intro
FIFA 03, Matteo Brighi, 97 overall and no one had even heard of him.
Roenick was my secret weapon. My friends for whatever reason didn’t recognize how insane he was.
As an Eagle, Charlie Garner was a rookie on Madden ‘94 or ‘95, and he was the fastest dude in the game. The only problem with him is that he couldn’t break a tackle to save his life.
Great call! One of the most underappreciated players ever
I always forget Molitor played for the Blue Jays, despite getting a ring there.
Another crazy OP team from Ken Griffey Jr PMLB were the Atlanta Braves. David Justice, Otis Nixon, Crime Dog McGriff, along with Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz.
The Cubs were also nothing to sneeze at with Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Sammy Sosa, Rick Wilkins, Derrick May and Steve Buechele forming a deadly center lineup.
As for a game you didn't cover: Mega Man Soccer, and the OP Elec Man. Third fastest character in the game behind Dr. Wily and Proto Man, weapon hurts most targets, and can exploit the corner shot goal every time.
Lark from OSU in NCAA was even better. I think he had something like 71% rating for 3pt shooting and he was a Center. I always played with OSU and dominated with Lark back in the day.
Glad to see someone else remember Lark. Shooting 3-pointers from center court and hitting 9 of every 10 was ridiculous cheese. I also think there was a Pardow on Baylor who also was a great 3-point shooter. My friend and I would play 20-minute halves and it would turn into a glorified 3-point contest.
Best classic sports game reviews on RUclips hands down period.
Allejo from ISSS! The entire Brazilian team was a bit overpowered but he could score a goal from the locker room with a bicicle kick. Allejo became a pop icon and even a fake documentary was made about him.
The Germany team was waaaaaay OP, the difference was that Brazil was slightly faster but Germany was the real deal; Allejo got needed on all subsequent releases in order to keep the game fair.
During a tourney we had in 7th grade we played NBA Live '95. I was one of the last to pick a team and somehow the Rockets were still available. I played the owner of the game/snes in the semi finals and I couldn't miss from the arc with Cassell. He was furious and stopped the tourney. I know I would've easily won the championship as I was steamrolling everyone.
They started a tourney of NBA Jam instead where competition was more even, but I was somehow taken out of that one even though I hadn't lost yet.
My Genesis team of choice in NHL 94 was Vancouver. Linden, Courtnall and Bure together were just nuts speed wise.
Bure was soooooo fast.
I rolled with Quebec. Sakic and Sundin together were just filthy. The SNES gameplay was buttery smooth too. You could set up one timers and deke the goalie at will. I almost never failed to get 10 goals in a game, even with bad teams.
I always thought the Bo Jackson ratings were pretty accurate, the guy was a mutant. Same with Mike Tyson, those one punch knockdowns in the game were something that actually happened.
Now he was before my time, but my understanding is that Bo Jackson really was that OP in real life.
OP at both football and baseball
That NCAA basketball was one of my first games ever. Being a Tarheel fan since around that same time I found Davison and would destroy almost any team and win the championship if I played the entire year and tourney. It was ridiculous. 🤣
Trust me, once you learn his super move, the most dominant athlete in a game is:
Tom Chambers in the Sega Genesis 1st EA basketball game: Lakers vs. Celtics and the NBA Playoffs.
He has a move that is 100% successful.
I remember him being able to dunk from the 3point line
Freeway Fred
Haha, exactly. We use to call him Jetpack Man. Basically hitting shoot from anywhere above the paint (towards top of TV screen) and he takes off with a double pump slam that never misses.
Tom Chambers for the Phoenix Suns in Lakers Vs Celtics for Sega Genesis is unstoppable. His trademark move in the game is a double clutch dunk and it ALWAYS goes in. Cannot get called for charging. If defender in front, Tom just floats right thru him. Never misses. Never takes charging offensive foul. I had the game as a kid, and playing as Phoenix Suns was the one team unfair to play as when playing 2 players with a friend.
Glad you mentioned Roenick. Played this for countless hours back in the day. He was unstoppable
Great choice of a category! This will definitely net you some new followers and helps shed light on great overlooked games. I guarantee you’ll have more ideas in this type of category.. great trivia, I know sports fans will love this and be super surprised!
Kordell Stewart was a beast on Sega Sports NFL Primetime
