13.06.2022Tiger Woods 2001 was the first with analog swing actually, and 2002 was the first on that engine.

13.06.2022Tiger Woods 2003 definitely had analog swinging, I played that one a ton as a kid.

12.06.20222021 I'm playing all of these via PCSX2 in 4k on a state of the art PC and wireless PS2 controllers, somehow the games made back then were just more fun to play, better music, foul-language, more-violence and not to forget politically-incorrect bouncing-knockers in many. A crazy-selection of football games, that's for sure, and I've never stopped playing NHL Hitz Pro 🤗

12.06.2022Hey man, I'm sort of late to the SoftDrinkTV party here re: your anti-Madden content, but I just wanna say I appreciate your perspective and the work you've put in to opening the eyes of sports games consumers. I was always nostalgic about Madden 07 and NFL 2K5 on my OG Xbox, but could never really place why. Your videos have refreshed my perspective and I'm excited now, as an adult PC gamer, to get those games back! Thanks again!

11.06.2022I've learned that running old titles through emulation at 1440p is the perfect compromise. If things are too clear, you can see a lot of the imperfections of technology of that time.

11.06.2022All these games had one thing in common – offline game play. There's no online mode to lean on.

10.06.2022Quick question what type of pc or how much would I have to spend on a pc to play 4K emulator without buffering?.. thank you
Sayed Is Trending
10.06.2022Super helpful video. I have always wondered how to configure a controller using an emulator, but that MAYFLASH 3 is sold out. Do you have any other recommendations? 🎮 👍

10.06.2022What website did he get all the games of of?

10.06.2022None of the ps2 madden games from 2002-2012 were 480p. Check out the “List of PlayStation 2 games with alternative display modes” wiki….. I would be so happy with 720p/1080p emulated games like NBA Street Vol 2 and Def Jam: Fight For NY. One can still make ps2 games look pretty good on HDTVs with component cables, smaller HDTV (32” or less), use 4:3 ratio and preferably 480p compatible ps2 games. CRT is still the best looking.

10.06.2022I really wish I knew more about emulators and what software to have. Could you (or do you) make a video showing what you use to play these and how to download them all?

09.06.2022I was never able to play these games seeing as I was born in 2005, but I'm going to play em now
Marmalade Sally
09.06.2022Even in 2021 I’d argue there is still just too much latency in NFL 2K5 on PCSX2. It makes kicking and just everything way more difficult. I’ll keep playing on my modded OG Xbox.

09.06.2022I use the dolphin emulator on my mac and run espn 2k3 crystal clear on it. Unfortunately I cant find any websites offering ESPN NFL 2k5 roms for gamecube. It's very frustrating.
Damar Fadlan
09.06.2022Interesting to see those games can be also emulated in 4K.
