The Last Madden for the PS2

Madden NFL 12 for the PlayStation 2, not for the Xbox 360 or PS3, was a super underrated game, and the last of its kind.

PS2 era was the best era in gaming.

Best and most creative games.

I snuck out of my Amish cabin to watch this computer video

[JackDanaher]

The fact that Madden PS2 had Lucas Oil Stadium, AT&T Stadium, and MetLife Stadium was insane!

The PS2 was great for this sort of thing. NCAA football went all the way to 2011 on PS2. And NBA2k went all the way to 2012. It says a lot about its longevity as a console.

So basically madden 08 with 2011 rosters, W

I didn't know Madden 12 was on ps2 learned something new.

[jdevlin]

I learned football on this era of games, an amazing time. Haven't played a Madden now since 2019. I had no idea 12 went this hard on PS2, I wish we were still in that time.

It’s crazy to think that we’re never gonna get any game like this ever again.

[jordanford]

I remember "settling" for Madden 12 for PS2 because my 360 had the red ring of death (another hidden gem) and then being blown away by how great the game was

On my way to a retro gaming store listening to this. Gonna buy this for my backwards compatible PS3 I just picked up the other day!

There's something about the fluidity of the running that always got me excited to play. It felt like speed translated the best with this engine. I think I played some franchises 80-100 years, what an amazing era of madden games. Recent gen madden is horrific.

[ltsBluPrint]

Ps2 engine madden better than any madden we’ve had last 10 years

[yoyoyopistachio]

Another cool feature in this game that wasnt in older ps2 maddens was player momentum. Players could get hot or cold depending on performance and it would give stat boosts in game

[Mr_Pmg_Gaming]

Owned this for the ps2, swear I played franchise mode until the disc quit working. Was a solid game. Turned a 7th round qb in to a stud that topped the league in stats

Softdrink man I remember when u were contemplating on quitting this channel and tryna do other things but I’m so glad u stuck to doing sports content. It’s a goldmine of content I wouldnt even think about but u spmehow have a knack for coming up wit these great video ideas!! Your journey as a content creator is an interesting one and I’ve seen a good chunk of it and I’m happy for you man!! Love your vids and keep doin what u love, even if its not sports related! ❤

In this game for the PS2 version, I created 32 teams from scratch and replaced the NFL teams with my said 32 created teams

This game is very nostalgic. I played it for about 5 months and had a good time. I always went more towards Madden 07-09 on the PS2 though. I believe those were better imo.

[brendanmccallion]

When I watch these old Madden videos it does make me pray that the new Maximum Football game is at least able to hit the same fun & exciting feeling these games gave us. The modern Madden's have sucked any enjoyment out of playing a football game.

Good looks on recommending NCAA next. My madden 08 franchise with current rosters has been a blast. Thanks my dude

[bodax]

Madden/NCAA/NBA 09 on the ps2 were three of my favorite games ever
