  • Dante Hall was so quick and agile that he was given the nickname "The Human Joystick" for his video game like moves. However, when it came down to certain video games like Madden and 2k did they enable Dante Hall to be as good as he was in the NFL?
    Kofie Yeboah brings on football expert Nate Tice to breakdown some versions of Video Game Dante Hall

    Hall had an incredible moment against the Broncos highlighting how agility ability. I used to play Madden 2003 for 20 years and Hall was in the game as a back up wide out. I always edited the rosters before I started a franchise and tried to keep Hall in the game as long as I could. Cool to see him in this video.

    My dad is a Chiefs fan, and as a kid, he would always do well with Dante Hall on kick and punt returns when I faced him in the mid 2000s Maddens.
    Even playing the Chiefs with them as the CPU, I think that the old-school Maddens got Hall right. He wasn't much of a receiver and more of a kick/punt return specialist, but he was a menace to square off against - especially on punts.

    I wouldn't have expected the numbers to be that drastically different from game to game.
    Although, NFL Fever being such a huge outlier in Dante's favor, *and* being arguably the most technically sound of the lot, certainly says something good about Dante Hall.
    Another thing is, I love hearing from experts like Nate Tice; I like to consider myself a pretty big football fan but he really reminds me how much more there is to the game than meets the eye, stuff that goes over my head every time I watch.

    If they made to start in the 35, that might make a significant difference (especially since that is now TEN YARDS difference from the 25 we’ve had for the last many years).

You can do Mike Vick and Madden how he was on the stopable people would go out of the pocket with him and if you rushed him he would throw it and if you went back he would run it, I remember tournaments that wouldn't let you play as the falcons I believe we're talking Madden 04 and Madden 05 and '06 possibly.

    If you, like me, for some reason watch this channel but not actual sports, here's the gist of the new kickoff rule:
    Instead of everyone running at each other from a distance and generating a ton of force in their collisions, the NFL is trying to reduce the amount of concussions during kickoff return by having all the players but the kicker and receiver (and I think the backup receiver guy?) start within 5 yards of each other and form like a wall in the middle.
