    Re: The Best of Madden (GameInsano)

    My top 5 favorite Maddens:

    #5:


    My very first madden that I got with the genesis. Good times....

    #4:

    Two words: FRANCHISE MODE

    #3:


    The very first madden I got for the PS2. I was blown away by the graphics (though not as much when I played madden 2001 for the ps2 over my cousin's house for the very first time).

    #2:


    Madden 2004. This is when I REALLY stated to get into madden and become a big madden fan lol. This version did so much to improve on 2003. This was the first madden game that I played online (on dial-up too lol; and beleive it or not it wasn't that bad). Innovative features like playmaker made the game really feel as if you had full control of what was going on on the field. Owner's mode was cool too and made you feel as if you had control over what was going on off the field. Overall Madden 2004 could be summed up with one word: Control. Also, Madden 04 still has the best madden soundtrack to date IMO.

    Man... what can I say about this. Whatever improvements madden 2004 made to offense, madden 2005 made to the defensive (while making improvements to the offensive things that were improvements with madden 2004). Franchise got a boost with storyline central, the player models got better, and the hit stick (even though very overpowering causing a fumble pratically 90% of the time it was used properly), all made the game just a blast to play. This was the best madden in terms of the overall package. Hopefully Madden 10 will beat it in terms of this (and it seems like it really will).

      It's cool to see the Game Informer guys included in this. Sometimes I feel like they are the only ones that haven't been corrupted and paid off in their reviews.

          Mine was '03. I played that game so much the soundtrack was burned into my head.

                Madden 05 on ps2 was the greatest. That's the only madden where I played more than 1 franchise season. I got up to like 15 yrs in that one. I just recently bought 05 and 07 but for gamecube to play on my wii cuz I sold my ps2, but I just HATE the gamecube controller! I wish my ps3 was backwards compatible or my 360 played the madden games.

                    2K football games and the exclusive NFL license have erased and/or replaced all of the good memories of Madden for me.

                    I can't recall the exact game version, but the one with the real world videos of Madden / Summerall that they talked about the games before they played them are probably the most memorable. It had more a real football season feel to it, and that's what I'm looking for in an offline/season/franchise experience and have yet to find in any football game to date.

                          Three way tie (well maybe little edge to '05 at the time all of them were released):

                          1. The first year, I can't recall when any more.

                          1. The first year of franchise mode, guessing it was what the other guy said '99

                          1. My favorite so far (for the time it was released) was 2005. This was better then 2k5 for me.

                          Some what OT:

                          As a side note, once all of these additional player ratings were added to the game (all working would be nice ) it is hard to go back. To me, it really really adds a lot because it creates difference other then basically speed and a rating or two difference between one player an another. Basically, if you had a QB with 99 THP and 99 THA with 99 AWR they were all the same (other then speed), which I can't stand. Hoping to add this year this list and be the first real year where I can FEEL the difference from one player to another.

                            I'm going with Madden 2001 on N64. My son and I used to play with the teams you could unlock - I miss that feature. We had a blast playing with The Sugarbuzz, Mummies, etc on their cool fields...and all the other Madden cards and cheats, too.

                              madden 2005: collector's edition. ps2. hands down. the best. everything is just right. the emphasis on defense. the hit stick. the additional historic playoff teams. and no vision cone too. still playable because i play this one with the historic teams. about 40 or so with named rosters.

                                Madden 04 to 08 Those were the only games i would play during that time

                                All On the Ps2

                                But i would loved 04 cuz it was the first madden game i played. That is only because Nfl Gameday was bad. So i told my dad lets try out madden 04 and we loved it played it all the time. The good times
