What's your favorite console football game of all time?

Kodos · 09-08-2006, 10:06 AM

Although I am a pro fan first, I'd have to say NCAA 2004 was the best.

Eaglesfan27 · 09-08-2006, 10:18 AM

I agree. I thought 07 was going to surpass it, but there are a few too many flaws despite it obviously looking better. Yet, I can't bring myself to go back to 04. I keep wanting to find the "perfect slider set" to fix 07's flaws.

JimmyWint · 09-08-2006, 10:24 AM

Mine was NFL2K1 for the Dreamcast. I played that game nonstop. I still crank it up from time to time for old times sake.

NCAA 2004 was very good as well.

Honolulu_Blue · 09-08-2006, 10:26 AM

NCAA 2004 would get my vote as well. I played the hell out of that game.

tecmo bowl

duckman · 09-08-2006, 10:34 AM

I caved and bought NCAA 2007, but I still think NCAA 2004 is a better game.

It played smooth, had lots of features, and there weren't any crippling AI bugs.

Loved NFL2K1 on Dreamcast..play it like hell with my bro.

MrBug708 · 09-08-2006, 11:23 AM

Super Techmo BOwl III - Final Edition

I seem to remember the NCAA game on the Dreamcast being pretty good too.

AgustusM · 09-08-2006, 12:28 PM

NFL2k5 - game-play and presentation was the best. the off-season/franchise stuff was the only downfall for me.

Tecmo Super Bowl by leaps and bounds. After that, probably NFL GameDay '97 for PSOne, only because my dad and I played the hell out of it. NCAA 2002 would be a close 3rd.

bulletsponge · 09-08-2006, 03:51 PM

Techmo Superbowl

Terps · 09-08-2006, 03:52 PM

NFL 2K5.

molson · 09-08-2006, 03:58 PM

Year for year, I'd say the first Madden for the Sega Genesis. I could never really get into Tecmo, it was just too flawed and limited. Madden was the game I'd been waiting for. I think it was the first game where the player would utilize actual football strategy, and not just strategy specific to a particular video game.

TheOhioStateUniversity · 09-08-2006, 04:08 PM

This probably wasnt the best as far as ai goes but Super Play Action Football for SNES is a game that sticks out from childhood because it had high school, college, and nfl all in one game.

Daimyo · 09-08-2006, 04:14 PM

Probably the only person who liked it, but I'll go with Super Play Action Football for the SNES. Even if it wasn't very realistic, I loved the overhead view. Also liked the ability to able to play both college and professional in the same game.

Balldog · 09-08-2006, 04:15 PM

NCAA 2004.

TLK · 09-08-2006, 04:49 PM

Tecmo. Super. Bowl.

RedKingGold · 09-08-2006, 07:37 PM

Tecmo Super Bowl was the video game that not only got me interested in football, but sports in general. I remember that's where I learned all of the players names for the first time.

When Tecmo Super Bowl II was announced, I tried calling my Toys R' Us (I was only 8 at the time) twice a day to try and pick up a copy. One day, my heart leaped up when they told me they had a copy of it. Unfortunately it was the Genesis version (and I did not have a Genesis).

I finally (with my parents help) called Tecmo headquarters where they told me about Tecmo Super Bowl III, The Final Edition. I pre-bought my copy in May although I did not receive it until September.

It was so cool, being the first NFL licensed game with both the Jaguars and the Panthers. I think they had also moved the Rams to St. Louis, but the Cleveland Browns were still in there.

Unfortunately, the game turned out to be not that good, but I still have a lot of good memories and Tecmo Bowl to thank for converting me to a sports fan.

Kozure · 09-08-2006, 08:47 PM

Tecmo Super Bowl.

cthomer5000 · 09-08-2006, 09:11 PM

the only correct answers are Tecmo Super Bowl and/or Tecmo Bowl.

Maple Leafs · 09-08-2006, 10:12 PM

I spent way too much time with the PS version of Madden from around 2000 - 2002, back when they first introduced franchise mode. I loved those games.

But, as a wise man once said, the only correct answers are Tecmo Super Bowl and/or Tecmo Bowl.

biological warrior · 09-08-2006, 10:17 PM

To me it would have to be Jimmy Johnson's VR Football for the PS one. Bar none the greatest console game ever. On a serious note the most fun and most play time I've had with a console football game would have to be Madden 99 for PS one due to the franchise mode. Up until that time I was a die hard NFL Gameday fan but the franchise mode changed my sports gaming experience which ultimately lead me here to fofc.

sterlingice · 09-09-2006, 05:26 PM

Tecmo Bowl should be disallowed so it reads more like "What's your favorite thing to breathe besides oxygen" instead of the really obvious and correct answer.
