- NFL Street 2 was a classic, and I highly recommend picking it up, even today. It's one of the greatest sports video games of all time. EA Sports Big was amazing.

the entire nfl street series in general was a masterpiece
3rd one was shit lol but 2 and 1 absolutely
@@fifthdimension81423rd was still baller don't give a fuck what anyone says about that. At least it's better than whatever the fuck nfl tour was.
@@shawklan27 There will always be random fans of games no matter bad they are lol. It was better than NFL Tour but a majority thought 3 was a huge step down from 2 and 1. You don’t agree with the majority, I do. Respect either way lol
Part 3 sucked
nfl street 3 wasn't bad but it just didn't have the same composure as the 1st and 2nd games honestly
NFL Street 2 and NBA Street got a special place in my heart. These were the games that really got me hooked into sports game. I remember I bought a cheap Ravens jersey cuz how cool was the jerseys were. I wish games like this would be revived. The fun and arcade-y experience and not the overly complex of Madden what separates it and especially the cool diving and wall jumps you can do in the game. Brings back memories!
I had my NFL Street 2 disc in my Xbox for MONTHS on end. What a game.
What happened too it
@@perrycoffey5410 I still have it. It’s in this gigantic CD booklet case thing I would put all my games in. Nice & preserved.
@@NightmareTeeVee2That’s good because insignia is bringing back the Xbox live servers for this game on Xbox.
@@NightmareTeeVee2 nice i have one of those CD cases as well thinking about buying one so I can clear some space for the DVDs that i have
Got mines still on ps2
NFL Street 2 was one of my favorite games to play on the PS2. The intro video to the game alone was enough to get me excited and ready to play! It truly was a masterpiece that can't be recaptured
NFL Street 2 is a classic!
ive spent more time playing this game on PSP vs playing Ps5 over the last 6 months. this game never ever stops being fun.
Wow.. glad I’m not the only one. Thought I was crazy for having the next gen console, but still playing these classics on psp more. Guess not though 🤣
i emulate this game on my steam deck. great game.
Dude I’ve been playing my ps3 non stop
The next gen is soulless. None of the games, especially sports ones, have any life. Completely sterile.
@@TheJdog5wish people would stop saying the crazy word
Dude this game was such a blast..got it for psp around 06-07 and damn was it a good game to waste time on especially long ass car rides and at school. This definitely brings back some crazy memories.
Still got my psp
*I didn't grow up playing NFL Street 1 or 2 as a kid when it 1st came out so last year, i decided to buy the 1st NFL Street and was hooked INSTANTLY!! Couldnt stop playing it. A few months later, got Street 2..... THAT GAME HAS A HOLD ON ME! Plan on playing it tomorrow when i get off work. They cheat so hard on Own The City....*
Such great memories with this one. I still have my xbox with nfl street 2 on it.
If you didn’t know NFL Street 2 online severs are being revived on Xbox by insignia.
Still playing it occasionally to this day, can't believe this game is nearly 20 years old now and yet still holds up in fun more than the latest Maddens
I remember when Walmart sold the nfl street style footballs 😢
Fax and i had one
Thank you for making this! This game is slept on so hard. NFL Street 2 will always have a special place in my heart. It was a nice change of pace from madden and just plain fun to play. Still have my ps2 and play it from time to time and playing is like riding a bike. Still better than the newer madden games.
Nobody sleeps on this game
NFL Street 2 was awesome. I bought it on the original Xbox back in 2021 and I had a blast with it. I also added my own custom soundtracks onto the game.
If you didn’t know NFL Street 2 online severs are being revived on Xbox by insignia.
Still play this 2-3 times a week. Crush the carrier was such a fun game mode with my cousin
Facebreaker was fun when I was a kid. But it's extremely difficult especially Romeo. The game is overall fun
Whatever that last instrumental you use in the background you use while summarizing the game always takes me back to being a teenager I love this channel for making me feel like a kid again through these great games no worries no bills just pure fun thank you 🙏
Honestly my favorite football game of any generation. I still go back and play on PS2. 🔥🙌🏾🔥
Aww...YEAH! NFL Street 2. No rules! No refs! No coaches! Just hard hitting, wall jumping, and high energy action! This was football and when football was fun. Hell even changing the team's outfits after seeing top stars on TV. Miss games like this!
Still play this game to this day found it at a pawn shop been fire ever since
Me and my lil brother used to play this joint all the time. We’d set the score limit to 100 and play 45 min games for hours. Now my ps2 is at my grandmas house 3 hours away, every thanksgiving we go over there and play one match to 100 for old times sake. It still holds up, sucks that they don’t think to remaster stuff like this
I remember the thx intro sound bursting through my house lol
Currently playing this game. I forgot how much fun this was. I also loved NHL hitz that I think was EA BIG with over the top fighting huge shots man it was so much fun
EA's sport games were better back in the day than what it is today. You can tell the passion the devs put in into the games, especially on the BIG label. I only got to play the NFL Street earlier this year and it is incredibly fun, I am definitely gonna pick this up.
I still play this game. It holds up
Unpopular Opinion: Honestly, I love the trilogy of the NFL Street series, they’re hands down one of my all time favorite games from the 6th console generation (Sega Dreamcast, Sony PS2, OG Xbox and Nintendo GC) and for many reasons including my favorite one which is most sports games are missing today’s world and that is FUN!
Like Reggie Flis-Aimé said, “If it’s not fun, why bother?”
Thank you so much, SOFTDRINKTV! For making this retrospective video of NFL Street 2, I really appreciate it! I hope you talk about the NFL BLITZ to NFL BLITZ PRO and NHL HITZ trilogy of games next on your channel, those games are another one of my all time favorite games that I’ve recently played a long while ago and they’re so much BETTER and FUN than the modern day football and hockey games from EA Sports nowadays!
I would love a video on MLB Slugfest.
I don't think that's an unpopular opinion?
Definitely the NFL BLITZ/NHL HITZ series. HITZ 2002 is still my fav game in the GameCube that I spent hrs playing. 😊
Not unpopular opinion im with you on that! Sports games were the best during the 6th gen era no doubt we had variety&options
Arcade sports titles were shunned after this era
Backbreaker should have been better received as well as Blitz the League 1&2
Nhl Hitz is classic
Mlb Slugfest an The Bigs are clsssics too
The art style, the way the players talked throughout games, the individual style they had players wearing what they would in real life, the soundtrack. My favorite NFL game to this day
I am glad you made these video I played nfl street and nba street back when I was young
Still play this game today and it’s one of my favorite games of all time!
Loved this on PSP. I hilariously played the 3 NFL Street games in reverse order, didn't play them until absolutely years later as they were very difficult to find in Europe.
I grew up playing this game on a PSP I got when I was 3. My first ever console. Best video game memories of my life hands down we’re playing local multiplayer on the bus in elementary school.
Thank you so much for making this!!! You have no idea how obsessed I was with this game as a teen. Played it non-stop
Still play it occasionally. Love this game.
Bro it's insane the timing of your video. I was just playing this game today. Log on to catch up on my UA-cam and you got a video about it. Your influence is crazy because as soon as I had sunk some more hours into the game, I was wondering how to update all the rosters 🤣
NFL Street 2 is amazing. The cheat codes in that game was insane. You should do SSX tricky next.
Love when you do reviews of EA Sports BIG games. Thank you doing another vid on NFL Street 2. Absolutely love this game. Great video 👍🏽
Yeah, even though I only played a demo, looking back, it is indeed the best NFL game, just like its NBA counterpart.
I think it's totally insane how in 2023 they can't get player movement down to a science. How is it possible that everything was better in the early 2000s? Conspiracy Theory: EA has suppressed all innovation.
Freekstyle needed a sequel
Hey SoftDrink. Don't know if you will cover this game cause it's not really sports but it's inspired by different fighting arts. Def Jam Vandetta was made by EA Big but the even better sequal was made called Def Jam Fight For New York by EA Games. It's a game I highly recommend playing if you haven't already. It may be repetitive but it's the fun kind with fighting of different popular rappers at the time of release. If you enjoy it enough I hope to see an In Retrospect video of it from you
The “Def Jam” games before “Icon” were awesome. Even the PSP version of “Fight for NY” was awesome, and offered a fair bit of reason to exist beyond a different version of “Fight for NY.” And the story of “Fight for NY” is one of the best stories in any pro wrestling game ever.
@redjed100 Agreed. I was born when it came out and as a kid I loved playing it on my uncle's GameCube. That and a few DBZ games were great and over the years I played the PSP versions on my phone and absolutely loved it like I did as a child. Hope one day I can get my hands on a PS2/GameCube to play that game again
@@dominicmorales619 I’d say you’re better off finding a PS2 ROM for both games and using PCSX2, because used copies of those games, even disk-only, are pricey with a capital P.
@@redjed100 and there worth a decent amount of money now. PSP version goes for around 200$ now I think
@@redjed100yea i paid $200 for a copy still in the case for PS2
NBA Street, NFL Street, FIFA Street.
ALL THE STARS ARE HERE!
All Time Great Video Game 🏆🐐🎯❤
Got this underrated master piece of a game on my ps vita and GameCube and PS2
My dad bought me this game in 06 for the gamecube. I told him back then that i wanted a “football” game, i obviously meant soccer but nevertheless he bought me nfl street 2 and it was a blast !
I never liked football ( soccer) games but i loved the fifa street games, never liked basketball games but nba steet 2 is still one of my favorite games ever made, you convinced me to give this a try.
I just finnished my running back player career the other day. This game is just pure fun!
NFL Street 2 was too fun. Good times!
NFL Street and NFL Street 2 were some of the funnest games I've ever played in my life. One of the best couch multiplayer games ever made.
Most of my knowledge of NFL players comes from NFL street 2. Havent played in years and i still remember the most obscure names😂
Love youre videos. Your videos on old ps2 madden games convinced me to finally start emulating the good old days again.
these were peak days of gaming my friend
I think NFL street would still work today. even if it had to be made by indie developers even if it had to be made with a NFLPA rather then a NFL license, i think it would still work. maybe even sign a deal with A7FL (a no pads tackle football league which is kinda like NFL streets and has teams all over the country) to create a licensed game that has that nfl streets style gameplay.
Obviously though it's still going to need the best of both worlds in order to survive. a touch of sweet over the top arcadey gameplay with sim and rpg elements and features that add replay value to the game i can only hope Wild Card football and ESG Football 23 offer this. not to mention unrestrictive customization, season mode, and cpu vs cpu.
I’m not the biggest NFL fan, BUT I have beaten this campaign, more than any other video game ever made. I’m looking forward to beating it again soon!
been playing this on my steamdeck, so good
Out of my entire life I’ve got to have spent literal months of it just sitting there and playing this game. What a masterpiece
I worked on the Marketing Team to promote this game... IT WAS AWESOME and still love playing it now!
I went back and played through the entire career mode a few months ago. I had fond memories with the OG game, but had never played NFL Street 2. Such a fun and very addicting game!
Absolutely love the soundtrack of this game.
Good, so I’m not the only one who loves driving backwards on a NASCAR course at 150+ 🤣🤣🤣. I thought there was something wrong with me.
I’ll never forget how irrationally angry I was on the IGN boards when Madden 06 came out. Why was my NFL Street player 67 overall in Superstar mode when people were importing their NCAA characters and immediately had overalls in the mid-high 80’s? I just dummied NFL stars and legends ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL damnit!
NFL Street had two of my favorite players from two of my favorite teams. Ricky Williams and Jeremy Shockey.
NFL Street 2 another successful Street game.
I recently did a playthrough of the NFL Challenge mode, recreating players from my Retro Bowl profile. A really fun time, and relatively easy to do since the player ratings in NFL Street aren't too complex or spread out.
It’s truly one of the all time greats. I had it for GameCube
We need games like this in this Crazy Future
The mini games I used to do alot with the homies. I've played 12 years of football in school. Those 1 on 1s crush the carrier and 2 minute drills were mad fun besides playing with pads
What a nice trip down memory lane. And you couldn't have done a review of this game better👍
Can't wait to play this again on my new gaming laptop. Still have our XBOX disc of Street 1 and my Gamecube disc of Street 2. Cool intro, iconic soundtrack, Own The City is such a awesome concept, the tutorial of Xzibit making fun of you lol, the minigames, the team customization (I swear I've seen that skull logo in other games), being able to change how the players look... Crush the Carrier will always stick in my mind. It had no right to be that deep for a 2004 game!!
finally I have been waiting on you to make this video
Honestly, I think every game in EA Big’s Street series was phenomenal to this day I could still have fun with FIFA Street, NFL Street and NBA Street.
Thank you so much for posting ps2 heat please please more!!
NFL Street 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yeah, it had its quirks, but it is still amazing.
I just wish they had waited a year or two to release it versus just a few months after the first one for Christmas.
Still doesn't take away from how much I enjoy this game.
I got an HDMI adaptor for my ps2. BEST PURCHASE EVER. got nfl street 2 on lock, that game STILL holds up.
@5:05 my style of NASCAR driving 😂
This game needs to be remastered with modern rosters
EA during this time was amazing they had so many good games need for speed underground, Def jam fight for new York.
Best part I remember about this was when they sold the footballs in sports stores. I did have one.
Not gonna lie, kinda disappointed Def Jam Vendetta wasn't listed among the most popular EA Sports BIG titles. It's got a big fan base still to this day, and I don't see anyone really talking about Freekstyle anymore. Good video overall, though. I loved Street 1 and 2 as a teenager and would love to play them again. Might have to look into buying used copies.
Playing my ps2 is my favorite pass time
you forgot to mention EA freestyle also published NHL 3on3 arcade, a highly underrated game
Nba street vol 2 and vol 3 and nfl street 1 were my games and some of the best games when i played the ps2
You're damn right it was a mastepiece SoftDrink! Can't wait to play it again!
Donovan McNabb was untouchable in this game
For real! Randy Moss, Champ Bailey, and Donovan McNabb were incredible!
I never played the sequels to nfl street but the first game was my jam it was the only sports game i played online i met alot of cool people and we formed rivalries constantly going back and forth with our W/Ls
Emulating the game then?
Since we didnt have online mutliplayer back then sadly
These instrumentals are hitting different right now. The NFL Street series was always better than madden to me. Hopefully Wildcard Football can be something great.
A lot of the sports games that were over the top back then were great games.
HITZ was my favorite hockey game for years. The Street games were great for all the sports, then throw in Jam, Blitz, effin Slugfest.
Shame that style of game has been dead for decades.
EA, when they cared for the fun
Still playing this on my psp it’s a legendary game for sure 👌
Still play this regularly it's timeless and pure fun
Crush. The. Carrier. Played it for hours, days, weeks and months on end. I WISH we could have a remastered version of EA Big games. I hope and pray there’s a random remastered revolution in game development where publishers realize it’s cheaper, easier, and would probably be better received to just remaster classics.
You can even edit nfl team players to wear throwback jerseys and Rbk merch in this game
Will be picking up a copy of this next time I'm at my game store I remember loaning this to a friend when I was a kid and never got it back definitely an amazing game.
Masterpiece is the perfect word to describe this game. Great video!
EA sports BIG. Made some classics. NFL streets NBA streets and def jam fight for NY for me. I miss it 😭🤦🏾♂️🔥
Definitely one of my favorite football games ever!!! I still enjoy the first two on both PS2 and OG XBOX!!
The 2nd game is coming back online for the Xbox with insignia!
@@jumpman2326 That’s dope!!
Great video, brother! Thanks.
By far the best NFL streets
NFL streets 3 was the worst in my opinion.
Hated how the game felt, it felt more sluggish and had a worst esthetic look
NFL streets 2 felt so fluid and fun
Honestly Ive never Played A better game then NFL Street
Absolutely loved it
I gotta do a gameplay of this game in the future sometime. This game was another huge section of my childhood
Can’t wait for ESG Football 24!
The Street games were a blessing
