Great to see the ongoing interest in our Sega NFL 2K series. I was the voice of Dan Stevens, the play-by-play announcer and Jay Styne was the color man, Peter O'Keefe. Brian Luzzietti was our producer/director, and he was brilliant. Damn, what a great run we had, only to be put out of business by our own success. The price of our game was lowered to 20 bucks in 2004. THIRTY DOLLARS LESS THAN MADDEN. So freaked was EA that they essentially bought us out. But they never equalled the incredible architecture of our game. I salute the programming and front office people at Sega 2K who made the greatest sports video game of all time. And I'm glad to have been a part of it.
You and Jay did an amazing job. I still play 2K5 to this day since it's better than anything EA can produce. Wish the NFL would drop EA as an exclusive rights holder and open their license back up so 2K can make NFL games again.
This game makes me almost tear up. I remember playing this on Christmas morning. I loved the Vikings team they had this year and Dreamcast was the future. So good I thank you for this. I’m battling brain cancer so it’s very nice to think of simpler times when I was 9 years old playing this
This game was so ahead of it's time. Still remember how amazed I was the first time I played both this and NBA2K. Yes games have since come a long ways, but at the time these were cutting edge graphics.
Yeah i got it from my grandfather because i like collecting classic games. And to be honest these graphics hold up VERY well. And look better then Madden's on the ps2 days. Which is insane because this came out in 99.
Jenna Gass yes dis was definitely the first game with the realistic cut secens after each play....I remember watching it played for the first time at game stop in the mall...I got a Dreamcast and the game for Christmas later that year.....I was to excited
Broke out my Dreamcast last night and introduced this to my eight year old. After playing a couple games with him he's like "this is better than Fortnite"!
The first video Football Game to have animation that was so real that you thought the players in the game were getting hurt on every play. To this day, I still would take a 2K game over Madden.
Loved Dreamcast. It will always be in my top 3 for most enjoyable game systems. The detachable visual memory card was mind blowing technology at the time. You could pick your plays off it instead of your opponent seeing your options on the screen. To date, that clever maneuver has yet to matched.
It’s 2024 and I remember going to EB myself in college and having my face on the floor because this looked so real back then especially the commentary. This damn near makes me wanna cry because it was my first gaming system I bought myself!! Good times 🥹
first video game i ever owned. 8 years old throwing hail marys on repeat to rod smith and ed mccaffrey, no clue what i was doing. crazy i just installed madden 25!
Christmas 2000 my uncle got his hands on a dreamcast and he had this and nba 2k. As a 6 year old kid playing this, my mind was blown. Now as a 30 year old man my mind is still blown at how good everything about this game (up to 2k5) until this very day. Madden really ruined a great thing. There's no more variety (in most game genres as well) in sports game anymore. Thank you sega for the nostalgia of a time when life was much better in every aspect.
I think this was the game that started the realistic looking sports games. This Dreamcast was by far the best ever graphically speaking. Look at the graphics and compare it to those Madden games. You can see this is superior
Yeah we’d never seen anything like this before! I traded in my PS1 with like 100 games for a Dream Cast and 5 games when it first came out, had to have one. That was the longest trade in receipt I’d ever seen at that time 🤣 Sega was doing the most back then…
I remember being so excited to get my Dreamcast. First console I got day one. I also remember nearly shitting my pants when I saw players breath in cold weather games in an NFL 2K trailer. I basically went through a Dreamcast console just from playing this game. Then turning the console upside down to get it to spin the discs until I got a replacement. For a while, my life consisted of NFL 2K, Sonic Adventure, Ready 2 Rumble, and Air Force Delta. Good times.
"A MAN APART" Brought me here starring Vin Diesel. I remember owning the Dreamcast back in 2000 and me and my homies playing this game. Brought back memories
The Downfall to football games was not having any competition due to the NFL license being sold solely to Madden. Madden stopped trying to improve their game play and sold the same game year after year.
Facts they copy and past there games year after year. I remember when you could create your own plays that was the best. Your speaking facts 100%. Everyone is like i hope 2k makes a simulation game they are releasing a arcade football game in 22 but i bet its better then any simulation madden and more fun to play as well.
My cousin was a Madden stan and we almost came to blows over which was better at my grandfathers annual Christmas party lol. Between this game and the original NBA 2k I never wanted to leave my house. Dreamcast is still my all time favorite system!
Looking at this game in 2018, just reminds me on this game was way ahead of its time because the game play looks amazing besides of course the graphics cause its old.
If you woulda told me as i was playin nfl 2k on the dreamcast that it was peak video game football ida laughed you i to oblivian… yet 24 years later here we are
Lmao. The memory card options... LOVED THIS GAME. Moss w the gloves in his facemask! The intro song was hyped. Moss will always be my goat reciever. TO. Rice. Are insane as well. Etc etc. Megatron too. Tim Brown. So many greats. It's just with Moss.... I watched him dismantle his heavily stacked division's secondaries. Every week. He was insaneeeeee lol. Although. Nfl is fillleddd w hella talent over the years... There are no best. All preference.
And what's even crazier is that Barry Sanders was on the Lions and he retired before the season started. In addition, my hometown Carolina Panthers still had Rae Carruth (well, we all know what happened, being from NC...)
One of my favorite NFL video games I love playing. I played it for the 2011 NFL season as the Los Angeles Rams and the Tennessee Titans. It was a blast.
have you played it recently? Its' as smooth as silk, smarter AI too. 10 has better graphics and presentation, but 09 plays better on the field. Go watch some gameplay.
This game I played to death. The presentation of this game is far superior to any madden game. The menu and loading screen music, a simple riff that gets you hyped up in the game. No lame soundtracks. Even the loading screen was just awesome.
It is actually sad how much better of a football game this is than any madden released in recent years. The game has more depth, better collision mechanics, better replication of the game outside of just gameplay - it’s just a great football game.
I remember watching commercials and saying how realistic the game looked. Don’t at these graphics with the 1080P/4K graphics of 2019. Watchin this game this game from the grain boxed 📺 from 1999.
I still play! Amazing game still! On Offense my favorite play to run is the Inside Curls and Comeback and Slant n Go in the Shotgun Formation while keeping a few audibles on deck. TE’s are usually my go 2 guys. FB Blast and Belly Split works for me too. On defense I like playing as a pass rusher. Love the 3-4 and I have the A.I blitz while I play FS or SS as I typically in the right area when ball is thrown. I never play CB or DT and i am only a DT to shift the line. The dime formation is the next best 4 me and keep that blitz man coming. AI cant F with a hurdles if they’re timed correctly. Whoever playing this need to play anything more than Rookie difficulty.
LoL ... Not for nothing I would buy a Dreamcast off eBay and try to remod it like I saw one youtuber did ... He transformed his Dreamcast by getting rid of the CD drive and installing a SD card slot and installed an ethernet adapter ... He has a collection of Dreamcast games on SD cards and can access the internet, he really did a heck of a job updating his Dreamcast.
This still holds up,except for uniforms, stadiums, newer teams, players and rules changes. With ea sticking to the same old graphics, that is why a football game never went to the next level in graphics.

I remember i use to play my little brother in this all the time everyday me an him use to go at it in this
Love this game! Does anyone know what "profile" means in the create a team section? It's right under "playbook" and you can choose any of the NFL teams.
Geez. These games, (the original 2K DC series) for as great as they were when they came out, have not aged well. They don't look anything like I remember them. It's really weird that has happened.
It depended on your RB ... If you had a speedster the outside runs netted you positive yards ... If you had a power RB running inside runs would get you 5 yards tops ... This game was great to playing to each individual players strengths.

You and Jay Styne were the voices of my childhood it felt like yall was really on ESPN
I would thought the day would never come to see you on UA-cam
YALL ARE LEGENDS TELL JAY I SAY You can’t coach that. 👍👍
Definitely worthy of being proud of. I love my Dreamcast and games to this day.
Terence, you're a hero. Thank you for making my childhood great.
This game makes me almost tear up. I remember playing this on Christmas morning. I loved the Vikings team they had this year and Dreamcast was the future. So good I thank you for this. I’m battling brain cancer so it’s very nice to think of simpler times when I was 9 years old playing this
That's awesome . Hope you get better dude. Stay fucking strong
Hopefully things are looking better for you now, stay strong man.
Ya these games bring back good memories from back in the day. Hope your doing better now
still with us?
Are you still there?
This game was ahead of its time.
FACTS, WE USE TO FAKE SICK JUST TO STAY HOME AND PLAY THIS GAME IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
Mikie Jones 1999 on Dreamcast
To be honest all the early 2k games were
Dude I used to play this with my buddy use tampa bay and keyshawn and mike alstot... holy cow...
You aint lying. This was my fav game on dreamcast.
This game was so ahead of it's time. Still remember how amazed I was the first time I played both this and NBA2K.

It looks nearly as good graphically as Madden 08 (my personal favorite Madden game), pretty unbelievable.
1. Pick Vikings
2. Throw hail Mary to Moss repeatedly.
3. Brother breaks remote.
I put L. Coles in as a defensive end and speed rushed for dozens of sacks per game. controller destruction intensifies.
I was the kid breaking the Remote lmaooo. Moss in this game was unstoppable
@@jamessandi4282 to be fair dreamcast controllers were on a different level when it came to breaking them.
@@SteveSmith-un3fx it was lol
Moss, Carter, Reed was unstoppable WRs for Vikings on that NFL 2k
Broke out my Dreamcast last night and introduced this to my eight year old. After playing a couple games with him he's like "this is better than Fortnite"!
When this game came out I couldn't believe how lifelike the dialogue from the announcers was.
This game not only looked real and was before its time.but it was even more fun to play I would play this game all night literally
This may look fake now but I remember this game playing in all sams clubs and ppl would stop and think it's a real game lol
Jonathan Connor was just thinking the same thing.
its amazing how far they've come. I used to lay on the sofa and play this for hours
So true!
I did lol
2k5 is the best football game ever made.
The first video Football Game to have animation that was so real that you thought the players in the game were getting hurt on every play. To this day, I still would take a 2K game over Madden.
this game plays better and smarter than madden 20. True statement.
Lucky for you 2k is making a new arcade football game next year 2022 so they say.
@@GisherJohn24 thats what im saying why is madden still calling there games simulation they are arcadish as hell..
I've never played a football video game in my life. After watching this, I feel like giving it a try
Loved Dreamcast. It will always be in my top 3 for most enjoyable game systems. The detachable visual memory card was mind blowing technology at the time. You could pick your plays off it instead of your opponent seeing your options on the screen. To date, that clever maneuver has yet to matched.
That was the best. I kept waiting the other consoles to copy that feature but never did
Agreed. It was genius level implementation. This game sold the Dreamcast on its own.
i remember seeing this game for the first time in an EB game store back in '99 and i couldn't believe my eyes.
It’s 2024 and I remember going to EB myself in college and having my face on the floor because this looked so real back then especially the commentary. This damn near makes me wanna cry because it was my first gaming system I bought myself!! Good times 🥹
EA: We won't be releasing Madden for Dreamcast.
Sega: We have NFL2K.
first video game i ever owned. 8 years old throwing hail marys on repeat to rod smith and ed mccaffrey, no clue what i was doing. crazy i just installed madden 25!

I can't believe how good the game looks even today. Look at how the players move... truly ahead of its time
Best commentary of any football game of all time
I thought this shit was real as a kid. We miss you Dreamcast.
I remember being so excited to get my Dreamcast. First console I got day one. I also remember nearly shitting my pants when I saw players breath in cold weather games in an NFL 2K trailer. I basically went through a Dreamcast console just from playing this game. Then turning the console upside down to get it to spin the discs until I got a replacement.
For a while, my life consisted of NFL 2K, Sonic Adventure, Ready 2 Rumble, and Air Force Delta. Good times.
I remember playing this game along with NBA 2K nonstop during the summer and Christmas. This game was far ahead of it's time.
I remember getting my black Dreamcast console and this game came with it. Dope memories!
Dreamcast really was super fun.. I got it for Christmas and it was one of the best days ever
"A MAN APART" Brought me here starring Vin Diesel. I remember owning the Dreamcast back in 2000 and me and my homies playing this game. Brought back memories
This was and still is an excellent game.Thanks for the upload.
Is no one gonna mention how good these graphics look for its time?
They were bud. They were. Sad that the dreamcast had to go.
@@kamotetopz6776 I don't understand how Sega was known in the Game world & flopped but Microsoft was new to the game world & succeeded 😒
The Downfall to football games was not having any competition due to the NFL license being sold solely to Madden. Madden stopped trying to improve their game play and sold the same game year after year.

Flat out game changer. Video game football is before and after NFL 2K in terms of presentation and gameplay. Madden had to adjust with 2001.
This is one of my all time favorite football games.
I freaking loved this game!!!! Played it almost 24/7 loved it...Randy moss was unreal in this game
Lmao. The memory card options... LOVED THIS GAME. Moss w the gloves in his facemask! The intro song was hyped. Moss will always be my goat reciever. TO. Rice. Are insane as well. Etc etc. Megatron too. Tim Brown. So many greats. It's just with Moss.... I watched him dismantle his heavily stacked division's secondaries. Every week. He was insaneeeeee lol. Although. Nfl is fillleddd w hella talent over the years... There are no best. All preference.
I miss these games where the weather would effect everything
Bring me tons of memories..2k open up doors to what we all see now..
I totally forgot that this is when the niners still had Young, T.O., and Rice.
And what's even crazier is that Barry Sanders was on the Lions and he retired before the season started. In addition, my hometown Carolina Panthers still had Rae Carruth (well, we all know what happened, being from NC...)
Thomas Tripp I think he is out now
The whole 2k series with NFL and NBA were yards ahead of anything at that time. Graphics, gameplay, user xp.
The tackling sound & effects were so much BETTER back then.
That loading screen tho.
Always got me hyped
One of my favorite NFL video games I love playing. I played it for the 2011 NFL season as the Los Angeles Rams and the Tennessee Titans. It was a blast.
Man the sound of pick your team in this game was legendary
Intro music is kickass
When I first played this on dreamcast it was a revelation! I was amazed!! I would still rather play this than the new maddens.
So much better than madden
Issho p
madden 09 is better than this, but nfl 2k5 is the best football game ever made in history.
@@GisherJohn24 madden 09? Lol 10 is better than 09
have you played it recently? Its' as smooth as silk, smarter AI too. 10 has better graphics and presentation, but 09 plays better on the field. Go watch some gameplay.
i played this religously on my dreamcast
This game I played to death. The presentation of this game is far superior to any madden game. The menu and loading screen music, a simple riff that gets you hyped up in the game. No lame soundtracks. Even the loading screen was just awesome.
Madden 2000 was not touching this game when they came out. NFL 2K came out and changed the whole game.
This game was so Good
just insane, i remember thinking this was the most realistic looking football game, and nearly 5 years later, i'll take that back
It is actually sad how much better of a football game this is than any madden released in recent years. The game has more depth, better collision mechanics, better replication of the game outside of just gameplay - it’s just a great football game.
I could play the load screen music for hours on a loop
11:07 doing the bull dance, feelin’ the flow, working it working it.
Still better than the current madden games
God I loved this game... It was so damn fun. It really put the screws to Madden too, they had to up their game big time after this came out.
Only reason nfl 2ks stopped being made was because each sports bought some type of nfl copyright right or something like that
you could recover the onside kick like 80 percent of the time
Anyone else notice how the graphics use to fluctuate between smooth and blotchy? I use to examine it all the time in replay.
The theme at the start of video almost made me cry so many memories
Still amazing
this plays more smoothly than any recent madden...can we get this on the switch?
i remember calling my mom in after she got me this on christmas and telling how crazy the graphics where lol.
this is still fun with the fantasy draft season, got jerome bettis and peyton manning on the vikings in my game
Me&dawgs you to go at it on this back in the day so realistic to the max didn’t see madden back then
"Damn lucky" I love it
Damn rip that first Broncos return man
I remember watching commercials and saying how realistic the game looked. Don’t at these graphics with the 1080P/4K graphics of 2019. Watchin this game this game from the grain boxed 📺 from 1999.
I like tackling in the game, the crunchy sound but the passing always looks like it is lobbed in the air.
The Rams Titans and Minnesota was the go to teams for this game
I still play! Amazing game still! On Offense my favorite play to run is the Inside Curls and Comeback and Slant n Go in the Shotgun Formation while keeping a few audibles on deck. TE’s are usually my go 2 guys. FB Blast and Belly Split works for me too. On defense I like playing as a pass rusher.

My all time favorite football video game 😏 I'd play with the Vikings
I am planning on buying a sega dreamcast with this game
It's one year later.....DID YOU BUY A DREAMCAST?!?
@@Tonedogg24 lol

I remember i use to play my little brother in this all the time everyday me an him use to go at it in this
This game is actually really good
Love this game!
Does anyone know what "profile" means in the create a team section? It's right under "playbook" and you can choose any of the NFL teams.
I remember playng with my bro and being annoyed that you can see the other persons plays. Unless you had the attachment thingy
Happy Birthday Dreamcast!
the tackling is still better on this than madden 24
Lol looking back all the player figures look the same but at the time it felt so different, like they were all unique.
Still looks better than madden
Great commentary actually
Everything is better than Madden.
20 year old game still better than Madden today
I loved this game dreamcast was the shit
I honestly didn't ever play much nfl 2k1 on dreamcast cause I already had 2k5 on ps2 and Madden 05 on Xbox .
I was crushing this game online
I remember it was impossible to run the ball on this game
what the hell looks a lot more fun then madden
11:06 He did guynam style dance before it was known as that.
Geez. These games, (the original 2K DC series) for as great as they were when they came out, have not aged well. They don't look anything like I remember them. It's really weird that has happened.
This is better than any shit EA has put out in the last 15 years
Great game
I think The Dreamcast is the best console for football🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
It was something different about it. It just felt different
Upside down well the Dreamcast is basically the Xbox the controllers are identical
2k baseball was amazing to me also.
This looks awesome for 1999
It was freaking impossible to run on here lol.
Shades of the early Maddens. LOL
youdud4 this wasn’t madden
Not if you ran tosses or sweeps
not with marshall faulk
It depended on your RB ... If you had a speedster the outside runs netted you positive yards ... If you had a power RB running inside runs would get you 5 yards tops ... This game was great to playing to each individual players strengths.
i still play this 2021
I mastered a kick that made it so the ball bounced back to my team every kickoff. I’d score over 100 points.
