what's the best NFL game of all time?

Blitz the League

>>724601536 (OP)
madden 08 for something more realistic, tecmo bowl for more arcade
both have a great modding/romhacking community for annual rosters

>>724601536 (OP)
NFL 2k4 was the best for the ones who knew football.

NFL Blitz 2000

>>724601536 (OP)
That's not a flag??????

>>724602198
they allowed harder hits back then

>>724602198
For what? He touched the ball and got popped.

handball is the american equivalent of thirdie cricket - no one gives a shit about it outside the country. Football (the one you actually play with your foot) is perhaps the only sport that actually matters

>>724602336
pretty sure it would be because he didn't take enough steps or the "football move" meme, so he's considered defenseless

>>724601536 (OP)
Madden 2008/09

>Superstar mode

playing the career was more like an rpg with icons and gold star characters. Really great games.

>>724602381
American website so who cares what you think

>Football is only 11 pixels
>Still more entertaining than Madden

>>724601536 (OP)
I remember enjoying the N64 madden games quite a bit.

>>724601536 (OP)
I liked NFL 2k best.

>>724602283
this but Street 2

back around 2003-2004ish i would walk to my cousins two blocks from my grandparents and play NFL blitz on her n64

>>724602429
Hits against defenseless guys are the most entertaining tho.

Football is for niggers, wiggers, and retarded frat guys. The best baseball game is Ken Griffey Junior Presents Major League Baseball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR21CL-VmXk

This right here. Nothing even comes close.

Its called povertyball for a reason.

That's not Backyard Baseball '97

>>724601536 (OP)
did he dieded?

>>724603568
He'll be fine. He's just going to spend 8 hours in his $500,000 hyperbaric chamber, then visit his personal orthopedic doctor for physical therapy(you know, the usual like high-end chromotherapy, ultrasound machines, things that normal people have). He will be back playing in about 3 days.

#1 NFL 2K5
No one would disagree. Hands down the greatest and made EA seethe so hard they bought the NFL rights so that no one would make them seethe again.

#2 NFL Street
Got damn I miss EA BIG. They made so many good games.

#3 NFL Blitz 2000
2000 is the best Blitz game hands down

honorable mention to the NCAA college football games, particularly 06

no that's what the watergirls are for

>>724602381
Football actually requires strategy and planning, in soccer you literally just kick the ball for a couple of hours before tieing 0-0 because players on both teams threw

you sure that isn't boxing?

>>724604471
rugby and hockey have to be worse than divegrass

>>724604681
hockey isn't so bad. league has trended towards smaller players and rules around head contact tend to be draconian - not like football where some 6'7" 400 lb linebacker freak will just shatter several bones in your body sometimes

>>724602759
if you are brown or black, absolutely. the lack of empathy and the enjoyment of other people's suffering is one of the biggest strengths of the low IQ subhuman brain.

>>724604617
yeah although i can't see boxing being healthy. but what makes football so dangerous is the damage to the head, which is prevalent in american football to the point that the NFL actively tries to shut down papers related to long-term brain damage from playing

This dude's Latinx, eww.

>>724604861
is handegg really that much worse in terms of potential CTE damage? I always imagined boxing was worse due to 1v1 contact and the amount of people getting cauliflower ears.

>>724602336
Looks like he speared him, absolutely would be a flag today

>>724605226
you have two 300 pound guys sprinting into each other at force. it's way more force than a punch.

I need a WH40K Blood Bowl game that plays like a mixture of Mario Strikers and NFL Blitz

>>724605397
I can see that, I just assumed the repeated contact from boxing would be worse in general.

NFL 2K5, hands down. It was so good that EA immediately begged the NFL for an exclusive rights deal since they knew Madden would never be able to compete with that (and that was back when Madden was actually good too).

>>724605491
boxers don't typically have that long of a 'lifespan'. top fighters get typically get 20-30 fights, most of which are to jobbers who are paid to take a dive to inflate the other guy's stats.
it really cannot be understated just how rigged boxing is, it's basically like the WWF back in the 80s before everyone knew what kayfabe was

>>724605741
actually the NFL were pissed 2K sold their game for $20 rather than 60 like EA were, they thought it cheapened their brand. so they revoked 2K's license.
funnily enough the inverse happened to the NBA, the EA titles sucked so bad compared to the 2K ones that the NBA stopped licensing to EA.

Soccer is for fags, unironically. It's a kids game, like baseball. I've played soccer, as an adult. It's definitely retarded. It's basically a drinking game.
>run around kicking a ball

Let us know when you retards get rid of the 'guy gets thrown out of the game permanently, so you start flopping to even up the numbers' rule.
That single retarded rule ruins your gay ass sport. Real men can't respect soccer. The fact that rule hasn't changed is LEMAYO.
Soccer players can run. That's it. Minor amount of skill. Every other sport requires more coordination.
>le kick the ball
Gay. Fucking. Game.
Stop flopping. There is a reason a real man's country like USA doesn't give a fuck about soccer.

Soccer is the only sport where women and men's versions are equally boring, because it's such an easy baby game.

I would rather watch Darts, or Cricket.

>>724606650
if a player gets carded for a hit, the guy who got hit should be taken out of the game for the rest of the match. after all, if the hit was hard enough to warrant a penalty then it was hard enough to prevent the player from getting back up and continuing.

>>724601536 (OP)
OOH HOOH HOOH HAAGH HAAAAGH
WHERE DA WHITE WOMEN AT

>>724607436
>if a player gets carded for a hit, the guy who got hit should be taken out of the game for the rest of the match.
Is this why soccer is so stupid? Because the fans are legitimate retards?
What the fuck are you even talking about with that dumb shit take?

Smart people don't bother defending soccer. It's indefensible. They know their game is gay and stupid. Just shut up. You sound like a moron.

>>724607730
now post the player lineup for your national soccer team

>>724605878
nice. now you didn't spend 20k in the past month on other bets, right?

Is hockey a fighting game???

>>724608281
it's a contact sport, if that's what you mean.

I think that applies to all sports with a ball in them. Volly, base, cricket, rugby, polo, tennis, golf, etc.
In fact the only one I can think of where that doesn't apply is water polo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2DTio1-HMY
>>724602283
what this anon said

>>724610453
both descend from the ancient European game known as 'football'. Rugby, and by extension american football, are closer to the actual mediaeval ruleset. soccer removed the ability to pick up and carry the ball and tackle other players to make it less violent, so aristocratic gentlemen in 19th century England could play it without being seen as dishonourable.

>>724602381
Any "sport" where this is a regular occurrence shouldn't be called the best at anything

>>724610742
Badminton

>>724610562
hockey is the tits

>>724610845
>...and this is why Americans called Handegg, Football
I see, thanks, very informative

>>724608281
I remember I had a hockey game growing up that would turn into a rudimentary fighting game

>>724610742
>I think that applies to all sports with a ball in them.
Yes, but a few sports got to the name first and other sports had to come up with different ones. Do you also bitch about Gaelic and Aussie rules football or are you just seething at America?

why is basketball so much more boring now than when I was growing up? Nobody plays defense, nobody slashes, its all just chunking 3s

>>724610880

spoiler this shit HE'S FUCKING DEAD

>>724610562
It's soccer with actual testosterone (although not as much as there used to be).

>>724601536 (OP)
boom, here comes the boom, ready or not, how you like me now

>>724610809
dude's brain is mashed potatoes

>>724602195
Was coming in to say that. It was great because if you were a dumbass/kid/didn't know fuck about football you still could grasp it vaguely.

>>724604471
It's the closest we'll get to gladiatorial combat and while anyone with their head on straight doesn't want their kid to play it and get Traumatic brain injuries nobody wants to be the ninny faggot to ban it or god forbid make it touch football.

>>724605226
Pop cultural thing I heard is that like with boxing gloves the extra protection (Until recently?) literally makes it so guys go HARDER and are protected against minor wear and tear and so they fuck themselves up even more. It's the equivalent of mandating crumple zones and seatbelts and then having the speed limit jumped up by +20.

If we dropped it down to just leather helmets, no shoulderpads and all you'd probably get shit tons of broken bones and sprained muscles but little CTE

>>724611019
it's because it directly descends from rugby, which at the time of the split, was called 'rugby football', because it was the form of football played at the Rugby school in england. by contrast, Association football (soccer) was the variant played at Oxford and several other schools associated with them (hence the 'association'). they were both called 'football' by their fanbases at the time. Americans and Canadians simply found the rugby rules more amenable to their sensibilities, and over time modified them into the modern sport.

>>724611262
Just googled it and apparentlyt he leather ones made it so you didn't get concussions but made it so you fucking died instead when shit was a big hit and had skull shrapnel in your brain.

>>724610562
it's winter shinty.

>>724611103
took way too long for someone to post this

>>724611046
Because the extra point you get for making a three is so mathematically overpowered that it solved the meta of basketball once enough players became capable of making it consistently. So now there's the issue where a shot that isn't difficult at all for the majority of players to make in 2025 is still being rewarded like the rare novelty it was in the 1970s, and there's no real incentive to take any other shots.

>>724611325
back in the 1920s it was common for several players to die every year from stuff like broken necks and nosebone shards being jammed into their brains.

>>724611396
which is why the 3 point line should be abolished and the 3 pointer should instead be awarded for shots from behind the halfcourt line.

>>724601894
Was it the first game or the sequel that had the extreme x-ray close up of testicles exploding?

>>724611262
>If we dropped it down to just leather helmets, no shoulderpads and all you'd probably get shit tons of broken bones and sprained muscles but little CTE
You just need to compare rugby, they get scraped and bloodied up more but the wrap up method of tackling and the fact that people are naturally not going to be blowing up into each other at full speed unprotected means that catastrophic injuries are less common, while pic related basically happens every week in the NFL

>>724611559
rugby players can get CTE too though

>>724611560
What did they mean by this?

>>724602901
How is arenado in this game when he was only 3 when it came out?

>>724611727
it looks like a fake punt audibled into a regular play, I have zero idea what they expected would happen leaving their QB with just a HB to cover him

>>724611727
That's the mossad blackmail tape they made of pat mcafee before allowing him to become famous.

>>724612110
It's literally an illegal play. You need 3 men on the line on either side of the center to be a valid formation.

>>724601536 (OP)
I really liked Blitz The League 1 and 2 when I was in high school so those.

>>724612181
don't Wing plays only have one lineman on one side and all the rest on the other?

I have no idea. Can you show me a picture of it?

>>724601536 (OP)
Did he died?

>>724612348
apparently they were going for a Swinging Gate to try and bait the Patriots into an Offside penalty. the intent was to run out the clock but the C thought he was supposed to snap the ball.

>>724612572
No but they made him give back his heisman because of it.

>>724613615
microtransactions, shitty scripted gameplay, bugs, barebones franchise mode etc

>>724611727
>>724612110
McAfee talked about it once, the hope was to hopefully get the Patriots to go offsides. They were never supposed to actually run the play (they would just take a delay of game penalty if the Patriots didn't bite) but the guy snapping the ball was filling in for an injured player so he had no idea about the play and actually snapped the ball on a hard count.

>>724604795
>hockey isn't so bad
Some guy got his jugular cut out by a skate like 2 years ago and died on the ice

>>724614087
that happened in a british B league. it did happen in the NHL on live TV once in the 80s, to goalie clint malarchuk. the footage is BRUTAL. the team doctor was a vietnam vet combat medic and he jammed his fingers into malarchuk's throat and held his artery shut until they got him to the hospital, saving his life

This. Still the best football game of all time. Played so many online leagues on Xbox. It felt genuinely crazy at the time how much better it was than madden for less than half the price.
The jews at the NFL didn't like that shit.
