Bro they had this in the previous years game too! NFL Fever 2003 made in 2002!!! Let that sink in!!! It took Madden until how long to get it in?? maybe Madden 10 or 11 onwards..
Madden 2005 had so much stuff...EA just got rid of it all. They literally scrapped everything they did during the PS2/Gamecube era (the peak of football simulation) and redid everything starting with Madden 2006. The models for the game even on the PS5 are still based off of that game 15 years ago. It is pathetic.

ya it all went downhill after they combined with techtv I miss watching shows like the arena and screensavers that later turned into attack of the show oh and X-play
I get what you're trying to say but you clearly have let your love of that era distort your view. You're missing out on titles and genres that you don't even know exist. Titles that blow what you love out of the water.
Watching this video brings back so many childhood memories. I remember I was 11 playing this game everyday when I would get home from school. Back when madden had competition
The right trigger mechanic in this game was amazing. Some people forget it exists unless you accidentally do it or you learn from the tutorials like i did. Being able to actually control your pass and lead your reciever was so cool because it was rewarding if you dimed your reciever in stride but a punishment if you don't time your throw right. Really unique mechanic that made this game standout imo
This game looks really good. I think this is the first time I’m seeing gameplay of this game. I’ve seen NFL 2k gameplay and a lot of people seem to love that game but to me this game looks even better.
That's cause this was on Xbox - the 2K's were all on PS2/Dreamcast - When this game came out, it was the best looking football game to date. But it didn't offer the depth that Madden and 2K did.
Lmao I still own this game. The blocking was fluent and smooth. Double teams and working up field was good. If the madden franchise had competition no telling how realistic and smooth games would be today
this game on All-Fever is insane I get kicks returned on me every single time or AI running plays bust wide open but it’s still better than anything we’ve had in 7 years. love the fever series
@@PMKru you will love it all over again i promise, i’ve been grinding some fantasy franchise and it’s great. culpepper to moss is unrivaled and the satisfaction of read and lead passing there’s nothing quite like it
I always remember seeing these as a kid on the original Xbox consoles,, they would have the demo set up in Target and kids would be playing this like, this isn't Madden, but it looks good and I like the controls etc. The original Xbox was nice but I was PlayStation 2 all-day
@@robertclark1141 madden 20 dogg.. Played all the maddens bro... They great when it comes out dont get me wrong...but then you start see all the bugs and fucked up things about the game lol.. Its just trash.. 2k will have a way better game then madden will ever have lol... Trust and believe me homie.. Y is it madden still has stick players on the sidelines 😂😂😂.. Madden will always be trash bro.. I just get it every year bc i love football and its the only footballl game out 🤷
@@brocrewsportstalk5331 not all the Maddens are Trash tho, Id say up till 12 was when they stopped being good (25 Imo was a fun game along with 16 but the rest like 13,17,18,19 and 20 all suck.
@@chandlersbryant4047 exactly bro... How is it that the old maddens are better then the new madden 🙄 smh.. Madden period is trash bro im sorry... Dont get me wrong ill play it but the only reason is bc its the only football game out 🤷.. its all good tho, when 2k football comes out.. Im done with sorry ass Madden.. 💯
I Still Have This Fever O3 & 04 I Love This Game! I Wish The Microsoft And Other Companies Made Different Football 🏈 Basketball Games I’m Sick Of Madden & 2K We Need NBA Live And Other Basketball Games Also!
even though 2k's animations are better in some ways i think this is the most accurate representation of the speed/reaction time of real-world players, whereas in 2k5 they seem to snap to the ball instantly on defense
I'm thinking about buying this game if I ever manage to reset up my original Xbox. Playing Madden NFL '18 against the CPU and especially against random opponents online can be absolutely ridiculous at times.
Is it just me or can the rbs ACTUALLY freaking pass block?! So many times in nfl2k5 I audible the rb to pass block and he will just fking stand there staring at me while the dts just beat their man. Absolutely infuriating!
I'll never forget when Jay Fiedler ran a fckn 75 yarder on me. Juked n trucked a defender and had at least 20 yards of space. What I get for always playing on hardest difficulty lol.
Bro they had towels and hand warmers waaaay ahead of it’s time just imagine where they would be at now at this point....Madden needs to go man
Exactly 💯💯💯. Go away and never come back.
Except they were in a dome so it’s pretty dumb
I have always said this.. Even back in 2004. Fever was the better game, imo.

@@cleftboywonder like what? Tell me more...
...very dramatic lol it's nostalgic but little is better then as opposed to now
The NFL Films music is always badass when starting this classic up
I remember see this in Walmart on display remember when they use to let you play the game
Same here I remember my Walamrt had the electronic section in the middle of the store with one way in and out, pretty dope back then!
I remember that as well
Yes. Remember the lobsters, the goldfish, and 24/7?
Watching this video brings back so many childhood memories.
I remember I was 11 playing this game everyday when I would get home from school. Back when madden had competition
Man the animations were next level. Even for right now they hold up very well

I fell in love at 3:35 😭 Lamar Jackson won’t even scramble like that in Madden.
Even though there’s only a few animations
Played this game all the time growing up. What a nostalgic video
This game graphics was next level,had the towel and hand warmer before Madden even thought about it
Except they were in a dome so it was pointless
@@RickRaisin16 well not the towel but yea
The trigger passing was revolutionary. Best QB mechanics of any football game I've played.
I never played this game, what’s trigger passing?
Do you have to use that feature when passing?
@@MikeSerota you were able to switch it off for traditional passing if you wanted to.
@@MrThunda51 yeah I read a review eventually.. sounds good
One of my favorite games all time

Life was fucking good back here
Fever, Gameday, Madden, NFL 2K, Quarterback Club, Blitz, Xtreme. What happened to gaming? Aren't we suppose to progress?
All unique in there own ways to
EA Sports killed football video games with exclusive licensing
I would have loved to see what this could've become if it were around today, competition drives quality
Back when EA had competition.
Better times
Maaaann me and my brother use to play this game every day! Some of the best football games back then was this one, nfl2k, nfl street, and blitz!
NFL Fever was very underrated i had all of them for my OG Xbox.
I hated playing this game online when it was current. EVERYBODY used the Colts or the Falcons and they were so tough to stop.
I love how it had different shoulder pad sleeves for players, so ahead of their time man
Fever always had the smoothest animations and the qb throw animation was perfect
Man i loved playing this game and NBA Inside drive on the original xbox.
Game was ahead of its time
Lmao I still own this game. The blocking was fluent and smooth. Double teams and working up field was good. If the madden franchise had competition no telling how realistic and smooth games would be today
This game has aged well
Mechanics movement and tackling are still better then madden 25😭 fire ea rn
The graphics for XSN sports were way ahead of its time. This is good graphics for today’s sports games
Yea They Xbox Should Reopen A Sports Divison Of The Studio Again. They Could Do This Today
🤦🏾♂️ good graphics for WHEN??
@@OGC558 now dawg don’t play yourself
I miss this game I hate when they take good games away I wish I had the money to relaunch this game and compete with Madden.
Xbox Could It Was A Microsoft Studios Game. They’d Just Have To Fight EA To I
Open The NFL Licensed Up
The db coverage was so much more realistic. Unlike those bomb plays on Madden. You had to read the defense on this game
When all this sports games from
Microsoft had the golden cover was a good time.
Links golf was awesome 👍
This was a very underrated game use to play a lot.
This is still one of my favorite football games ever I played this game entirely too much lol
The animations are simply amazing.
This was a real complex football game. The motions and adjustments was crazy!!! A lot of control.
The running motion felt good in this game. The graphics are actually pretty good for the time. Amazing.
I always bring this game up to people, I really enjoyed the nfl fevers at the time lol
Yeah I vividly remember playing this with my little brother. These were ahead of Madden I thought.
I remember the year this came out I had both 2k and Madden, but me and the boys were addicted to this.
Game still makes more sense then Madden Football.
crazy how those back shoulder balls are almost always completions on this game
this game on All-Fever is insane I get kicks returned on me every single time or AI running plays bust wide open but it’s still better than anything we’ve had in 7 years. love the fever series
I Just Ordered This Back For My OG Xbox Cant Wait Havent Bought Madden Since 20

Oh, yes this one bring back memories! Awesome Video!
The player dialogue always cracked me up
still way better than madden
Animations for Peyton are spot on
This game was ahead of its time. It's a shame they don't have competition bc of stupid rights that EA has. Competition is always healthy
This game played better than Madden does today.
It's sad that this game has more details then the current gen Madden. The gameplay looks more smooth and fluid too. Wow #DropEA
I still play on quarentine. One of my favorites Xbox Games.
Can you play this on 360?

I miss the days of ol
Bro they had towels with actual physics. WTF! This game... I never played this growing up. I was NFL Gameday, Madden & 2K player but this looks dope.
It is the best football game made, followed by 2K, fk Madden trash. I’m glad they are losing there deal with the NFL soon.
@@triggadre1930 True. I hate Madden. I got the game for free and still won't play that POS.

Maybe on Xbox one and ps4 but next gen it’s a rock solid 60fps no stuttering nothing finally. Still not a good game but it plays better 😂😂

I have the demo of this game on my first gen xbox
@go bucks an emulator
@go bucks Its also compatible with xbox 360 dumbass lol
It's like a cross between Madden and 2k.
Nfl fever was legit
Madden has a lot to learn from this and 2k5
Worse thing about this game is the ai. The cpu controlled players are incredibly stupid in this game.
I loved their sports games, were they the most simulation? No. Were they the most fun? Absolutely.
Things in this game are not ahead of its time it's just that years later Madden is that far behind
Wow they had towels and hand warmers!?
🔥
I didn't care for 04 I preferred 02&03 I think 03 was the best
I just got this several months ago and just couldn't get into it
nice one, subscribed..keep'em comin
I'll never forget when Jay Fiedler ran a fckn 75 yarder on me. Juked n trucked a defender and had at least 20 yards of space. What I get for always playing on hardest difficulty lol.
This game was far superior to Madden. I’m glad Madden is losing its strangle hold on NFL games soon.
Thanks for uploading this game. #GoodStuffMan #FirstComment
Another bad boy right here
People will forget how difficult and unnecessary the “read and lead” feature was that ruined this game.
Gameplay better than madden 21
Looks better then madden but not 2k
How can I play this on pc
