I loved madden 2003-2006 I think it just represents my childhood, I remember staying up all night on weekends just playing my madden franchises in between watching Disney, nick at night or Cartoon Network ahhh good times
You described heaven bro! 🤩 Playing late at night, weekends or watching Nick @ night, Adult Swim (Toonami) or any Disney channel presents... Nostalgia bro! Greetings ✌️
@@nezahual2000 I completely agree. Those were the days. And as an eagles fan, I was elated just now that Doug Pedersen and the Jacksonville jaguars came back to beat the Chargers.
I strongly agree. I got madden 13 years back and there was not many game modes I could play! In another words, most of it was online based stuff! Older madden games have mini-camps, rushing attack and more fun modes!
The sound of the line of scrimmage and the tackles really creates a feel of realism in this era of Madden, which sadly got left out of more recent versions.
Man thats a good point...maddens hits don’t sound as violent and I feel like because of the new concussion protocols they have made the game feel more “safe”. No more helmets coming off either.
@@df6148 yeah, and even though there are cases like Damar Hamlin 🥴 So, they should return to this era, with helmets coming off, hard hits and everything they took off. It's a video game, not real people!
Just to prove how lazy Ea's become over the years Al Michael's sitting over here analyzing the pre play Adjustments I haven't even heard the commentator do that in madden since litteral PS2!
My first Madden game as a boy in the UK. It got me into the sport of football. I chose the packers as i liked the colour of their uniform and have been a fan ever since. Go Pack Go!
Trail717 damn.............their were so many great other choices...and to think you went with the packers based of the colors......damn you could’ve been a fan of a good franchise
@@chandlermorillo6249 I have stuck with them for better or worse. Superbowl XLV was incredible. I will remain a fan whatever their performance, i love them.
2003 was the most revolutionary Madden made, and introduced online head to head matches. ‘04 was very good as well, except Vick was too unstoppable. The term “cheese” online I believe came from Madden ‘03-‘04 games.
It’s crazy to see how smooth the animations were back then. I think even though the running controls were simplified, I preferred the run game back then. However, the passing has come a long way I think, but the defensive AI used to be sharper and respond to breaking up plays more quickly.
I wish they kept the control scheme from this game. And yeah the players felt a lot more responsive. Like they went where you wanted them to go. Now madden feels like its a little off on player step speed.
PS2 is the best era. Tekken Tag 1, Tekken 4, Tekken 5, Def Jam Fight For NY, Max Payne 1 & 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, San Andreas, God Of War, NFL Street 2, NBA Street 1 & 2, Smackdown Here Comes The Pain, Smackdown Shut Your Mouth, Smackdown vs Raw, Madden games, NBA Live games, & more. Yes the PS2, GameCube, OG XBOX, Dreamcast era was definitely the best in gaming. Hands down. Sure we have better graphics and power, but in terms of fun, charm, replay value, & most of all ACTUAL COMPLETED GAMES....NO DLC....yes PS2 era is the best in gaming.
dude in madden 17 I hope EA brings back the knocking off people helmets that was so funny the first time me and brother and cousins saw we thought something was wrong with our GameCube but it kept happening then we realize that it happens sometimes
I don't even see helmets come off anymore even today's NFL games never seen any players that get hit and their helmet won't come off because the NFL won't let the defense hit anymore!
miss these days playing against my brother my cousins man I miss the early 2000's I was born in 2001 but the 2000's madden and nba live was the games back then but now nba live is ass so no point in bringing that game up but madden was fun and espn 2k5 was a good football game as well btw when is say madden and nba live was the games back then I meant for me and brother and cousins I don't know what u guys were into then
Presentation took a nose dive after this one. Can't believe they gutted all the cool cutscenes. Guess that was about the time that it started to come more about online play after xbox live instead immersive sim sports. Remember this game was completely ruined by the auto pass feature that I never figured out how to turn off. I would snap the ball look the make a pass down field and the qb would just throw the ball to a random receiver because I didn't press any button after the snap. I'd be like what the hell I didn't even press anything. Took me so long to figure out that was why it was happening thought a button was stuck. Thats the kind of gameplay decision that ruins careers. Hope the person that decided on the feature never worked in the industry again. Ruined a game that otherwise would have been great.
Dallas was not rated very highly at the start of this game and the eventually ended with a 5-11 record in real life, but in this game they can have potentially a worse record if they get into a franchise mode and Dave Campo usually resigns. They do have a good crop of young talent like Roy Williams, Antonio Bryant, and Andre Gurode but they have really have a long way to go.
Yeah when football was physical when the helmets flew off during a big hit in the real game and the video game, now helmets stays on through out the game only way they come off now just a loose strap or tackling that's about it

good times man
It was definitely awesome times for sure ^_^ I loved this game!
And still love it near and to the dear.

PS2/XBOX era Madden games are much better than today's versions that they make today tbh
+Clarence Parker III I don't know about that but they were good games tho I wish they can bring the old school maddens on one disc that will be dope
I agree!
4 years later and this still holds true.
They actually had to try because of competition.

this game actually was the beginning of my love for the sport of football
Same I played this before even watching football
Yep same for me it's crazy how the video game made you enjoy the real game
Me to man
This game made me understand football more than my coaches ever did.
You a ravens fan?
Good times was in grade 7 when this came out & got this first week it came out for PS2! Still one of the best NFL games
Just to prove how lazy Ea's become over the years Al Michael's sitting over here analyzing the pre play Adjustments I haven't even heard the commentator do that in madden since litteral PS2!
Quiny Carter lol. We were lucky to come up during those days. Early 2000s were it man..
GOD BLESS
Ps2 madden era was my childhood, the greatest days of my young life lol
when the gameplay was so much simpler and fun
Late but i wouldn't say simpler but definitely fun madden today has become to simple and not fun
This was actually the best Madden game ever when it come to Graphics and Madden and Michaels announcing
This whole rona situation makes me want to go back to old Madden and think about the good days.

Still own my ps2 copies of 2001 - 2005
Best era for Madden games
I got 2001-2011 on the ps2 except for 09 which I been looking for. To have all
ps2 ea sports was the golden era. Madden, mvp baseball, nhl. those were the greatest games of all time.
J O H N R Y A N Couldn't have said it any better my friend. The PS2 era was my childhood.
J O H N R Y A N I was a big EA Sports fan back then. Owned almost every EA Sports game pretty much.
Too True
dont forget fifa
kingzfan2000 true although PES/Winning Eleven was a very close second especially when it came to gameplay.
duuude, this game was my favorite when i was a 5 or 6 years old kid, i have to play it again
RIP John Madden
RIP JOHN MADDEN 🙏🏾 This Was The First Madden Game I Ever Played
when i was 6, i lost 70-0 to the panthers and still had the time of my life. The days man
Mr No Name id beat the Chiefs by 42 then lose to the Packers by 24.......either way it went, it was fucking fun as FUCK
Lmao. Great game, damn near ruined my relationship at the time
Still better than new gen era Maddens
Rip John Madden
Roy Williams was so nasty as a rookie on this game, he, jeremy shockey, and antwaan randle el
my favourite madden game ever
The madden game that made me fall in love with football. THANK YOU
My friend and I would stay up all night on the weekends playing this game and drinking a few beers. Where has the time gone?!
And those helmets comes off!!!
this shit look more fluid than madden 17 lmfao
Stop the cap
man I miss madden voice on the game
Madden and Summerall on nfl fox. Always the Cowboys game lol..
GOD BLESS
Back when All-Madden difficulty was a real challenge
2003 was the most revolutionary Madden made, and introduced online head to head matches. ‘04 was very good as well, except Vick was too unstoppable. The term “cheese” online I believe came from Madden ‘03-‘04 games.
madden back then>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>madden today
Wow dude, this brings back memories
Bring back the helmets popping off
This was the first madden where I took franchise mode seriously. Couldn’t wait to start the next year as soon as the season was over.
It’s crazy to see how smooth the animations were back then. I think even though the running controls were simplified, I preferred the run game back then. However, the passing has come a long way I think, but the defensive AI used to be sharper and respond to breaking up plays more quickly.

Why is this game better than Madden 22 on next gen consoles lol.
PS2 is the best era. Tekken Tag 1, Tekken 4, Tekken 5, Def Jam Fight For NY, Max Payne 1 & 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, San Andreas, God Of War, NFL Street 2, NBA Street 1 & 2, Smackdown Here Comes The Pain, Smackdown Shut Your Mouth, Smackdown vs Raw, Madden games, NBA Live games, & more. Yes the PS2, GameCube, OG XBOX, Dreamcast era was definitely the best in gaming. Hands down.

No lies detected!!!
Use to play this from sun up to sun down , the old Madden was better !
Al Michaels & John Madden SNF On NBC 2006-2009
Voices: Al Michaels John Madden
Side Line Report: Melissa Stark
Referee: PA
Actually Madden retired after 2008, not 2009
They were also on ABC Monday Night Football from 2002 to 2005.
This one made madden a lot of money, I mean they sold a HELLUVA lot of this version right here!!!!
03 on the Gamecube. All day
Back when Melissa Stark was our sidelines reporter crush
Nostalgia
dude in madden 17 I hope EA brings back the knocking off people helmets that was so funny the first time me and brother and cousins saw we thought something was wrong with our GameCube but it kept happening then we realize that it happens sometimes
I don't even see helmets come off anymore even today's NFL games never seen any players that get hit and their helmet won't come off because the NFL won't let the defense hit anymore!
Yeah man! Yeah...
These graphics were a huge leap from the N64 graphics of Madden 2002.
What a beautiful game
When madden was fun!
Still my favorite Madden game
5:53 For all the New Maddens thinking everything’s improving. Tell me where my helmet knock off hits have went smh 😢
What button do you press to call for a fair catch?
Love the channel man
Back when a player suffered an injury in one area but would be holding onto another area of their body lmao
Or how they are able to hop off the field with a broke leg?
The gameplay was so polished you had to be very skillful in madden
I remember my big brother kicking my ass in this game in me crying 😂 I was like 9 I’m 29 now
Old Throwback Game
Why all the character models have big heads without their helmets lolol
John Madden had died in the age of 85.😥😢🙁😭☹️🕊️🌹
miss these days playing against my brother my cousins man I miss the early 2000's I was born in 2001 but the 2000's madden and nba live was the games back then but now nba live is ass so no point in bringing that game up but madden was fun and espn 2k5 was a good football game as well btw when is say madden and nba live was the games back then I meant for me and brother and cousins I don't know what u guys were into then

Back when madden was good before EAss started getting lazy.

Funny Al Michaels
I kinda miss those little sideline comments from her now that I think about it lol.
Yeah when football was physical when the helmets flew off during a big hit in the real game and the video game, now helmets stays on through out the game only way they come off now just a loose strap or tackling that's about it
One time I won 7-0 in this game yes 7-0 that was the final score
Dope game lol
Got their asses kicked by the Seahawks, and I'm upset >:L

Stadium noise is cringe
