      I suggest looking at some of the sports games that Fox Interactive put out in the PS1, especially NBA Basketball 2000 and NHL Championship 2000. Both of them have some very impressive Fox Sports presentation for 1999, and especially for the PS1.

      Qb club was only good on the 16bit consoles
      The franchise started to suck during the ps1 and n64 era of gaming and the gameplay was unreal because the score board was very easy run up I'm talking 60pts that be had in a 3min quarter
      Very unreal

    The 98 version is what me and all my friends had for the N64 back in 6th grade. I had NFLQBC2 for the Game Boy, as well. There was a fantasy draft option in 98 where I’d always get Rob Johnson at QB because he was a Top 15 QB in the game and was dirt cheap, so you could load up on superstars elsewhere. Put hundreds of hours into that game, still remember it fondly.

    I had NFL QB 98. It's what got me into playing football video games and what made me interested in learning more about football. Born in 91 I was 6 when it came out on the N64 and I was so confused but I loved playing it.

    Hey, I am a huge fan of you and your channel. I am a 15 year old who started on Madden 21 just as a kid enjoying Madden as anyone would want. But I think I found you in Madden 23 and watched here and there but not to much until now. I love how honest you are in your reviews and will keep rewatching your vids multiple times. I hope for them to let us have NFL 2K again and maybe SDS could make a game with me being a huge MLB The Show fan. The opportunities are endless but with how Madden is they will never do it. I was thinking and they are kind of like the iPhone they say it will be great every year but it is the same thing every single year. I have a friend who is a total Ultimate Team supporter and I will keep sending him videos of you and show how messed up Madden is but he just thinks it over and moves on not realizing what he could be missing out on and makes fun of you for not fully going over what is wrong with Mut or whatever. Just wanted to let you know I need this change, you need the change, all Madden players need to be what CFB was or even better knowing the hardware that it runs on. Thank You on speaking the Truth and showing ea what is wrong with the game they do not give a f about.

    Having 2 good options for the N64 in 1997 was great. I recall they also released both QB Club and Madden ahead of schedule too. NFL Game Day, NFL QB Club 98, and Madden 64 were the first to feature 3D polygonal players, so I guess it was kinda a football gaming revolution that year.
    I also enjoyed the SNES QB Clubs also. Being able to replay great games of the past was a blast!

    I remember playing NFL QB Club 2000 on the N64 ad nauseum. I loved the graphical capabilities (it looked better than Madden did back then IMO), the situation mode, and the depth of options it had, however I felt its Achilles Hell was some of the controls, especially in the passing game where you were required to push the catch button so it doesn't fall incomplete (other games like 2K and Madden didn't really have this issue)

  • @andrewclark1945

    The cool thing about the Sega versions of the game at least was if you created a QB for the challenge mode, your skills in those mini games were directly responsible for your player's attributes.
    I was terrible at the distance throwing challenge, but was great at the accuracy and mobility stuff, so I had a noodle armed speedster doing nothing but rollouts.
