I like these videos because they really show how lazy EA is. For instance they’re talking about how they’re upgrading their free agency for Madden 23 by giving players different motivations in free agency, and yet you can see they already had that in Madden 16. Classic EA. Get rid of a feature, then call it new when you bring it back.
You were right btw, guys like Garnett/Buckner/Nkemdiche were in the 2016 class. Chris Jones as well, that's why he has no picture and was in the first free agency. So I'm guessing it loaded a post-draft roster you had left over from last time you played
This madden was easily one of my favorites. It had some really bad gemplay mechanics. It was the first year aggressive catching was in the game and they made it so ridiculously over powered. It was like almost buggy overpowered to the point where offense was winning jump balls probably 80% of the time. In ultimate team it was a year were corner backs like brandon browner got golden tickets because you HAD to have tall corner backs to stop the aggressive catches. If you had like a 5'11" corner you were just fucked
That Brandon browner line was too true lmao. I remember running fantasy drafts with my friends in franchise and everyone would go after OBJ and big corners with high press
Not to rain on your parade, but it’s chalk it up to nostalgia. This is the Aggressive catch game. Literally all you had to do was throw it up deep and aggro catch and 9/10 your receiver came down with it. Got absolutely abused
@@mr.mccrazy9893 and now it’s almost the opposite you will have the 6 feet five Mike Evans Who can’t come down with a contestant catch in double coverage or if he gets touched even a little bit he will drop the ball obviously this doesn’t apply if he has an X factor
Man the fact that people now believe that Madden 16 was a good Madden is shows how blinding nostalgia is. Man the 1 handed mosses and deep toss aggressive catches were horrible. This Madden is honestly worse than every other Madden after it so far. Not really close
I don’t understand why some of those guys were a 99, like Olivier Vernon, base rosters had him at like mid 80s, and it makes sense, he only had 7.5 sacks the year before this madden came out.
My favorite madden has to be Madden 09, the presentation was amazing. Half time was actually worth watching where it went around the league showed mid game stats, broke down standings especially closer to playoff time. Just so many features that used to be in the game that they removed from the game.
Scheme fits in the older Maddens ment they fit whatever scheme you were running. Whether it be a Base 4-3 or 3-4, Attacking 4-3 or 3-4, or a Hybrid Defense or Zone Blitz. Usually if they're in the right scheme they tend to perform better.
Awesome!!!!! Bengal this content is awesome, this is the newest Madden I own for PS3 and I'm glad you're doing rebuilds on all these old(ish) games. Really interesting to see someone in the modern day play it (just like I sometimes still do). Keep up this series I'm loving it!
I have a friend who is a huge Texas dan as well so I try to follow them closely. Sark is a great coach and perfect for helping ease the SEC transition. Landing a recruit like Arch will lead to even stronger recruiting classes overall moving forward. As you said, If not this season than I expect them to be back as at minimum a top 10 team in 2/3 years max
I remember the call of duty days lol good times good times I’ve watched you grow proud to see you prevail. Your a great guy and a fun guy to watch. Keep up the great work man. 🤪
man this video took a turn lol it was the definition of "playoffs, you kidding me"! Markus Gordon may have entered that echelon of channel receivers if this were a full play franchise 😲
I remember watching your madden rebuilds on madden 16 and watching your editing videos that you’ve deleted now and that taught me basic editing skills which I still use today
What I REALLY loved to do in this game was make a player in franchise mode and then start a fantasy draft. I'd always get Brady and AP as well as my player
Don’t you find it weird how Colin Kaepernick has the same rate in your mouth and 16 as he doesn’t madden 22 except he hasn’t played in the NFL in Five years just had a work out with the Raiders and was bad
The thing with arch manning is that hes been watching and learning like a nfl qb with his family since middle school. even if the weapons arent that great he will know how to make them good and propel his team to be good.
I love that 4 days after watching this video having never seen the bug from direct snapping to a wide receiver, I get the bug. And I was player locked on defense.
How far back do you plan on going with this series? As someone who is considered old in the world of sports I would love to see you go back and rebuild on madden 2005-2009.
05 to 07 were head and shoulders above!!! Especially 05 🙌 hit stick!!!! And then truck stick the next season. So op when it first came out! Remember making a superstar and it being a running back trucker named Tomahawk Morrison. 🤣 Prob because my peewee football team name was the tehachapi tomahawks lol but man it's nostalgic! You could pick your parents, hit up the barber, get tats, everything! By far the best days of Madden
This was my second favorite madden of all time, first was 17 because of me and my cousin’s nostalgic 3-5 year falcons rebuild where we won 1 or 2 superbowls.
I think I realized that the reason some players had wrong pictures was probably because you have a custom roster updated for the 2016 rookie class which otherwise wouldn’t be in Madden 16. So those players like Ezekiel Elliott were probably made by someone making a custom roster lmao
SO i remember when i played this madden that going development coach was broken because everything was so much cheaper and it makes getting the rookies developed kinda too easy.
2 hours you've spoiled us 🙏🏻 I've bought a lot of the old Maddens the last few years but not 16 yet. I don't remember much about it so this'll be cool to see
I agree with you on Tyrod. He was really solid with that offense that Baltimore is ruining now, with Shady McCoy and company. That was as fun team. I'm from buffalo so I agree with you on players from Buffalo not getting the exposure they deserve. Can you imagine if Josh Allen played in NYC, LA, Miami, etc? Thank God he's home with us though.
Going back to my Saints’ 2015 season, we weren’t the best, but I’m surprised in madden 16 we were one overall higher then the browns, that’s depressing
I’ll never forget this game I bought it on sale on a weekend and they gave me a free 7 packs and I pulled super bowl legend Jeff Saturday the day he came out and sold him for like 1.5 million and bought my entire team
My favorite Madden isn't my first either though, my first I really remember was 2000 on Nintendo 64 when I was 9 and 10, but I liked 2004 a lot more, and I liked 12 a lot too. I also liked the very first NFL 2K I had on Dreamcast a lot. I can't remember if I had 2k1 though. There was a computer football game my dad and brother played in the mid 90s I just really watched them play it I didn't play it myself, don't know its name. The thing I remember most about Madden 2000 was I loved the made up teams they had where one was an entire team of robots and stuff like that and each had their own stadium too to fit the theme, I think cheats unlocked them. The last one I had was 17 and that was because I got it as a present, and I did like it but not as much as 12, but pretty much I just watch people like you play it and rebuild stuff and do fantasy drafts because I am not as good at that kind of thing and I do not do online stuff which they cater mostly to now.

That’s every sports gaming company if u haven’t noticed
Nothing new, the pro bowl was in madden 95
Na fr all *new ways feature for franchise*
Madden is only a good game if you havnt played madden for years
@@Tokari_ it’s still not good
Came back to watch in 2024 crazy how perfect the longhorns prediction was

The only complement you had was the first sentence
@@forestbump4928 it was all complements tbh i loved the shitty gameplay mechanics
I’m glad so many people can relate to this😂 honestly miss how fun and stupid madden used to be.
That Brandon browner line was too true lmao. I remember running fantasy drafts with my friends in franchise and everyone would go after OBJ and big corners with high press
@@jimihelo1022 this is exactly why ppl love 2k17. Shitty game, but was fun to play
Tbh one of the most fun Madden’s I’ve played. Could be nostalgia (being that its one of the best years for sports in the 21st century).

@@FG_Plays16 was referring to real life. 2016 was a movie in terms of sports
@@mr.mccrazy9893 true. But it was fun to Miss people all day w Calvin lol. And plus I figured out how to stop it toward the end of the year.

Really unfortunate how much got pulled out of Madden after the late 00 Madden's.
07 was the best. You could star in a movie and play as any position as your Superstar career.
@@mack626 I played 07 so much on the original Xbox, still have the disc and everything.
@@Inuyashers Still my all-time favorite madden. You could play as the damn European teams if you wanted to lmao
Very strange favorite
justin blackman and josh gordon would just smoke defenses, unreal duo.

best part of the day when bengal uploads
That Doolittle joke may be one of the worst ones you’ve ever made😂
It will probably end up on tiktok 😂
i hate how ea took madden 25-20 was taken off the xbox store like if ur not gonna make madden good atleast let us play the old ones
I think you started with a user updated roster, Zeke was a rookie in Madden 17. That's why some of the faces were messed up lol
This series of rebuilding the worst team in every Madden is awesome!
loving all the franchises recently thanks bengal
Love the videos man💯 keep up the good work
Painful watching him not realize Aaron Donald didnt play a whole season
man this video took a turn lol it was the definition of "playoffs, you kidding me"!
Markus Gordon may have entered that echelon of channel receivers if this were a full play franchise 😲
I remember watching your madden rebuilds on madden 16 and watching your editing videos that you’ve deleted now and that taught me basic editing skills which I still use today
As a Niners fan, I got PTSD seeing Tomsulas face at the beginning of the video
I just hope you keep doing these! A coach Game play through would be fun also
I finished top 100 in MUT on Madden 16. I played MUT 16 up until 2018 when it had died out. So much wasted but such a nostalgic game for me! 😂
As a niners fan I’m here to tell you that a 79 ovr in 2015 is insulting. Insultingly high.
What I REALLY loved to do in this game was make a player in franchise mode and then start a fantasy draft. I'd always get Brady and AP as well as my player
Im loving this series, Bengal! More of it please!!
Don’t you find it weird how Colin Kaepernick has the same rate in your mouth and 16 as he doesn’t madden 22 except he hasn’t played in the NFL in Five years just had a work out with the Raiders and was bad
Bro your a comedian 😂, your jokes are hilarious they always catch me off guard 😂😂
Bengal: stat fact stat fact….hookem horns…. Stat fact stat fact
I remember playing this game and just putting receivers on a streak and aggressive catching every time because it was so broken.
Bro,I’ve been watching since like madden 20-21 and I love these rebuilds they help me out cuz I can’t rebuild tbh😭
The thing with arch manning is that hes been watching and learning like a nfl qb with his family since middle school. even if the weapons arent that great he will know how to make them good and propel his team to be good.
I love that 4 days after watching this video having never seen the bug from direct snapping to a wide receiver, I get the bug.
And I was player locked on defense.
I remember you rebuilding the Falcons 6 years ago. Crazy to think I’ve been watching you so long
I remember the trade blocks were busted and you could offer a 7th rd from next yr for anyone put on the trade block and it’d go through
How far back do you plan on going with this series? As someone who is considered old in the world of sports I would love to see you go back and rebuild on madden 2005-2009.
Any of Madden 05, 07, 08 would be super fun - that's MY childhood!

I cant wait for the rebuilds in the old maddens that will be fun!
After watching your Madden 15 vid, I re-downloaded it and played. Gotta look for auto scouting for these games when setting up the franchise.
I remember finding your channel watching a Jets Rebuild on this game when u had like 10K subs
Madden 16 was also my first madden it was great I would like creating my own guys lol and love the vids bro great work 💯
The nostalgia of a Bengal Sim rebuild on Madden 16 hits different, big throwback
Coming into a game from super sim was always my favorite as you seen the craziest things like at 1:55:43
madden 16 is when i first found your channel and ive been watching ever since keep grinding
Bengal drafting 3 rbs in the top 100 is crazy
i grinded Draft Champions so hard in this game, think i also had the 99 Bo Jackson in MUT too, what a glitch that card was
I think I realized that the reason some players had wrong pictures was probably because you have a custom roster updated for the 2016 rookie class which otherwise wouldn’t be in Madden 16. So those players like Ezekiel Elliott were probably made by someone making a custom roster lmao

Been watching you since about madden 20. Love your content and never knew that you played baseball. What position did you used to play?
2 hours you've spoiled us 🙏🏻 I've bought a lot of the old Maddens the last few years but not 16 yet. I don't remember much about it so this'll be cool to see

NYC actually doesn't have a single football team
I’m buying this joint rn it’s like 5$ and the presentation is night and day 😂😂
Already gonna be a banger
I remember I was watching you on Madden 16 back in the day on BengalDesigns 😭
love the videos Bengal! Signed up!
khalil mack the sack attack from the silver and black. brings back memories
Going back to my Saints’ 2015 season, we weren’t the best, but I’m surprised in madden 16 we were one overall higher then the browns, that’s depressing
By far my favorite Madden I remember having an amazing ultimate team might go back and look at it
Any plans releasing a video of your thoughts on arch manning and other recruits committing to the longhorns?
"Not a great look... I'm headed that way, I know" 😂🤒
Bengal you should do another one of these but with real draft classes, so we can see how close we were on some players
Tyrod Taylor was absolutely underrated thank you! I've been saying that for years. Him and Shady are the reasons I became a Bills fan.
Adjust roster after draft is how you change positions
Can you do a series on Madden 16 please love you vids
These old game rebuilds are fantastic
You know its nostalgic when odell hits the whip.
Looking back now Madden 16 is very to me nostalgic considering this was the first Madden I ever played
i just went and watched delvin breaux play for the bc lions in the cfl lol
That intro music gave me chills when booting up
This is when the one had catch started to be OP
Your football knowledge is amazing.
That whole season Donald wasn't playing he was last on DT depth chart I was hoping u caught it
I’ll never forget this game I bought it on sale on a weekend and they gave me a free 7 packs and I pulled super bowl legend Jeff Saturday the day he came out and sold him for like 1.5 million and bought my entire team
I laughed way to hard at the Doolittle joke 😂
Man my panthers with that 99 overall offense 😔😔 oh how far we've fallen #KeepPounding
We’ll be back there someday. Maybe not soon, but someday
I mean you could be a Seahawks fan
@@purplecreature8178 GTFO with that bs Seahawks won a Superbowl. Next outlandish statement
For real man we've fallen so far from grace since then 😔
Hey-yo Wes Wilson at 19:42 is Brett Favre and Marshall Yanda
He really needs to do a Texas only rebuild with all his hook ‘em horns bits
First madden I ever played was 10 but 16 & 15 has always been my favorite
Did no one realize that he had the rookies from madden 17 and the 2016 season in this video that’s why all the pictures are messed up

Odell with the whip and nay nay hit hard
That glitch to Allen Robinson happened to me multiple times in madden 21 and I've never seen it happen to anyone else.
I've been a Niners Fan since 2015 which was the year I first got into the NFL, I'm Just happy seeing the Niners succeed this year
Just currently binging lions franchise
