Will the PC shit not work with the PS2 shit? CAN I GET AN ADAPTER OR SOMETHING???
I do kinda like the Madden games. The very first one was the best football game ever created. (Yes, even better than John Elway Quarterback, which featured realistic CGA 4 color scheme, true PC speaker sound, and 9 guys on each team.) The original Madden came with several teams already made: the Blue team (which was a generic "average" football team), the Red team (ditto), the All Madden team (the best players Madden ever worked with), the All Time team (best players ever that aren't on the All Madden team), and best of all: the Blank team, which was just a template for you to use when creating your own team. Blank was absolutely awesome because all the stats for every player were set to zero. I litterally fell out of my chair laughing when I played those guys. Walter Payton could run the entire length of the field, then back, then back up again before getting tackled by these guys. I imagine he slipped on the vomit. The ball gets snapped, and the entire team just falls down. No game has ever made me laugh that hard.
Also, the make-your-own-play utility had some bugs. In a defensive play, you could start all eleven guys out in the same spot. It looked like one guy was on the field until the ball snapped, then he suddenly splits into the entire team. If the Matrix had come out back then, I'd have called this play the "Agent Smith Virus" play.
There were other great quirks about that game. I made a team called the Hellriders, with Satan as the QB. All the players had stats of 8 accross the board (9 was the max, but when I set their stats to that, it was just too tough). I had another team called the Angels, with Jesus as QB. They all had 8s too. But for some reason, Satan could get hit half a dozen times and still not get sacked, while Jesus was sacked all the damn time. My brother and I figured that the toga-thing gave defenders something to grab onto, while Satan's hooves dug into the turf better than sandals. I had tons of other custom teams, including the Genii (Einstein as QB, Heisenberg as all of the wide receivers), the Borg (1 of 11 as QB), and my team which for some bizarre reason I named the Trolls and was composed entirely of historical millitary figures. Alexander the Great was QB. That makes sense. But Hitler was the running back. I can't explain why I thought that was hillarious. Now it makes me laugh that I used to think that was funny. |
