What is your absolute favorite football video game of all time?

[Kopy 568]

This can be any home console, any game. Even an arcade if it means that much to you. A certain game for that specific years roster, or any time in your life.

This isn't a, THE best football game question. It's a personal preference, YOUR favorite game, and the fond memories you have from it.

Best football game ever made...

 

ESPN NFL 2K5

[ZeroTolerance 584]

Tecmo Super Bowl

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

Probbly have to go with bill Walsh college football for the sega genesis.

 

My friend used to always play the auburn team (88?) with bo. I would always play as Boston 84. The streak play with flutie was unstoppable.

 

Honorable mention techmo super bowl.

[Frozenbeernuts 2,264]

Has to be techmo super bowl. I was never a huge madden fan. Although some of the NCAA games were a ton of fun

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

NFL blitz for N64 was the sh!t too. One night we played drinking blitz. A shot of whiskey every time your opponent scored.

 

My friend almost had alcohol poisoning.

Tecmo Super Bowl

Tecmo Super Bowl

[iam90sbaby 2,611]

Game Day 98 and Madden 10 are two that standout to me.

[Bier Meister 1,710]

used to love tecmo and madden, but haven't played in a very long time

[Mungwater 597]

Tecmo Bowl, and not the tecmo super bowl version

[Frozenbeernuts 2,264]

Tecmo Bowl, and not the tecmo super bowl version

So, Techmo Bowl and Techmo Bowl?

[cyclone24 1,913]

10 yard fight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding...that was awful.

 

Tecmo bowl.

[Mungwater 597]

So, Techmo Bowl and Techmo Bowl?

No, I liked the first one better.

[fandandy 3,313]

Best football game ever made...

 

ESPN NFL 2K5

I loved NFL 2K3, my favourite, but never played 5. I wish they still made this franchise.

Me too... Yet another reason to hate EA Sports...

[Reality 3,121]

Tecmo Super Bow was vastly superior to Tecmo Bowl.

 

We'd play a season over a weekend at a buddies house, probably 7 or 8 of us, same console.. Head to head match-ups were phenomenal.

 

Season stats, league leaders, the good 'ol days. Such great memories.

 

The NFL 2k series was great as well, was a shame when that went away.

[patweisers44 845]

The Mattel handheld games were pretty sweet. I suppose technology has advanced a bit since then.

This is actually the only right answer. I completely forgot about how good the 2k football games were and this by far was the best one.

[Cruzer 1,995]

Tecmo Super Bowl

[edjr 6,588]

[Drizzay 720]

In Tecmo Super Bowl, I used to know the best defensive player to choose based off the offensive formation, and would usually shut out the offense.

 

I tried playing on an emulator the other day and couldn't stop anything.

[ZeroTolerance 584]

My next most played game was probably NCAA Football 98.

[Mike Honcho 5,278]

[Cruzer 1,995]

Damn - I might need to change my vote....... Bcoz I loved this and played it prolly more than all of them.

 

Mattel Football 2

[posty 2,700]

Definitely got a cardio workout on this game...

[Mike Honcho 5,278]

Plus the bonus of at least once a game of rolling part of your hand between the ball and the game resulting in the instant blood blister/bruise.

Oh damn, yeah I forgot about that as well...

[mobb_deep 920]

NFL Blitz 2000

Honorable mention techmo super bowl.

Remember 4 of us during the summer each drafted 4 or 8 teams each and did a March madness tournament. That game was the best. USC 79 w OJ, Pitt 80 w Marino

 

Student Body Left or right was devasting w Bo Jackson or OJ

 

 

If we are talking peak EA sports Madden, id say 1995 was the year. Maybe have been the pinnacle of EA sports games as NBA live 95 and NHL 95 also both had big updates and were awesome games

[posty 2,700]

These were awesome board games for football...

 

Strat-O-Matic Football

Bowl Bound

[NorthernVike 2,086]

The Mattel handheld games were pretty sweet. I suppose technology has advanced a bit since then.

 

 

This was my choice also.

[Cloaca du jour 2,150]

Our first fantasy football game was based on a board game. Cant even remember what it was called.

 

Video games

 

Baseball all stars... nintendo

Ultima 3

Xcom ufo defense

[BunnysBastatrds 2,441]

The one that vibrated the more you turned it up. The kicker fawked me once when I wasn't paying fawking attention. Try playing that stoopid mother fawking game on acid for a beer and and a cig. It's like throwing a And old double d flashlight down a I love my ass starvation.

[kilroy69 1,250]

NFL 2k I think. For the Dreamcast

[jerryskids 6,797]

I had Mattel and my best friend had the Coleco one. We played those a ton.

 

Fondest memories are of a more obscure game from Sega Genesis: Mutant League Football. My (then baby) son sat and watched me play, and laughed when the players would explode. Good times.

 

[MDC 7,426]

NFL 2K. Graphics in that game were better than Madden today.

[vuduchile 1,945]

None.

 

I was always too busy actually playing sports to care about this stuff.

[Djgb13 2,339]

Hm...not sure. We played NCAA all the time and Madden Blitz so probably those. We had time to play these even though we played actual sports. You will always have down time and nights when youre not playing so if people say they were too busy playing actual sports then you should know thats a lie. Probably didnt have friends to come over and play the game with them

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Tecmo. Bo Jackson and Kevin Mack were untacklable. Skins were loaded.
