  • NFL GameDay 2005 was the last NFL GameDay title, and surprisingly, it only released for the PlayStation 1 and not the PS2. It's a hidden gem, and a throwback to the late '90s when Sony's GameDay was the best NFL game you could buy.

    989 also made college football video game series called NCAA GameBreaker with 2004 being the last college football video game to compete with the more popular EA NCAA Football series it is worth checking out or making a retrospective on this game.

    NFL GameDay 2001 was my first football game I owned as a kid... I was horrible, it was hard, I'd give up every time... Till I used the Ravens once and ran HB Sweeps with Jamal Lewis all game long with major success and had a blast! RIP GameDay, you'll be forever implanted in my childhood memories

    Love your videos and I think you're doing important work chronicling old sports games, which as you've noted in the past are understudied from a historical lens. Would like to see and hear more raw footage of the games (e.g. showing off the how the hushing of the crowd by home/away QBs sounds) -- I think it'd help illustrate what you're seeing when you study these games!

  • @FidoArtz
    @FidoArtz Рік тому +5

    Road to Sunday would of been competition to blitz the league, because not only would be arcadey but also have rpg elements that would keep the game fresh. if the game also had a season mode or even a non-story based franchise mode, it would have also blew blitz the league out of the water as a rpg simcade game with a blitz the league style storyline. sadly that never happened and it would still be cool to have something like that even indie. because the way i see it now. triple A sports games have been baring the sanitized image of major sport leagues of our favorite sports and its slowly killing the sports games landscape. thats why nowadays people are moving towards indie titles.

    GameDay '98 and '99 were my favorite of the Franchise. First officially licensed NFL games I played. Never played Madden until 6th gen era.
    There are a lot of great memories playing a lot of these older NFL Franchises. GameDay, NFL QB CLUB, Blitz, 2K, and Madden, one of the last NFL Franchises I tried out, along with Fever, were so much fun playing and many enjoyable memories. Man, competition back then was a lifetime ago. Certainly doesn't feel like it was in this lifetime.
    Never did play GameDay 2005. Not sure I've ever seen a copy and it was several years after that I realized it was developed and released only for the OG Playstation.
    Would be awesome to have this competition again, but have it where gameplay matter and was enjoyable, not broken, was deep in game modes and wasn't stuck like today's microtransactions and gambling like implements.
    All Pro Football 2K8 is currently my focus on football games and gaming in general
