I can’t wait for two years from now when I can finally watch the horse game 2 hour super edit

That Chris Berman impression killed me. Oh my God that was incredible.

The budget on these Thabeast721 videos is getting insane. Hard to believe he booked Chris Berman because that is obviously the only way that sound could have been produced.

Trying to figure out who #12 would be, the Broncos didn't actually have a number 12 that season. I think it's meant to be Marcus Nash, who was 1st round pick at WR in that year's draft and was actually #82. I remember those old sports game were always weird with rookies. Anyway, Nash had 4 catches in his career so I don't think anyone regretted his omission.

Hey Thab I really like that you enthusiastically report on all first games in your sports games. Never stop that please, it is so so great!

These old sports games don’t hold up, but I do have fond memories of madden 99. I used to play this on Sundays on a separate small tv that I’d setup in the living room next to our “big” tv. Then I’d play this while the actual football games were on. Very good memories

I freaking love your sports commentary. I do feel like you should save it for the championship game in each sport though to make it more dramatic. Lol

I love your sports commentary. It’ll be fun when we get your marble race commentary next month too. Also congratulations on finally beating that awful horse racing game. You are ichiban!

As a life long patriots fan hearing Thab reference Ty Law makes me love this man even more than i already did

You get better commentary with each new sports game lol. Good haul this year keep it coming you are almost halfway there!

Pete Carroll actually was the Patriots' head coach at this time and would be giving the secondary the earful on that play. 😂 Great game!

Depending on the everdrive, the save won't actually write until the reset is pressed on the console.

So you probably know by now but the Browns were moved to Baltimore to become the Ravens in 1996. Sort of. Technically even though all the players on the Browns went to the Ravens, the NFL, because of how pissed Cleveland was, considered the Browns “deactivated” and the Ravens an “expansion” team. The Browns then got “reactivated” in 1999, which means that the Ravens have no claim to any of the Browns team history. It was quite the deal back when it happened, people hated the owner who moved them a ton.

I like that for a guy not big on the sports titles you still manage to have some fun with them. 99 was/is one of my favorite old school maddens. TE cross routes were the way to go, especially with teams like denver and green bay. Excited for the next game. Didn't play it for n64 but loved it on dreamcast

Im a sports gamer here and I can say you are 100% correct when you say GC and PS2 era were the best for Maddens. Once they started doing all the animation stuff and got away from the physics based engines it was all downhill. Madden 07 on the original Xbox is the best btw...

1st of all I love watching you thab; especially your N64 gaming series. My only "complaint" here is I wish you would have shown the kicking mechanic here. It sure has changed over the years and it's all part if the experience IMHO. Keep kicking butt thabeast721!

As a Colorado native, I love that Thab always chooses late 90's Broncos

I love the enthusiasm of this entire video! Even picking the next game at the end. Yes, you did nail that Chris Breman impression!

Great commentary, as always. It's funny to watch the sports games I used to play for hoooooooours.

I LOVE these football game videos. The play-by-play commentary style is hilarious!

OMG, your commentary was spot on. I didn't mind the game not having its own at all.

Madden 99 on the N64 was my introduction to football sims! Doubt it holds up like NFL 2K5, but you've got me wishing I still had an N64 so I could get a hit of that sweet sweet nostalgia

I remember my dad getting Madden every year for Christmas when the Super Nintendo and N64 was out.

He said Drew Bledsoe will probably go on to have a very successful career with the Patriots. Lol. He became the highest paid backup of all time as a little known 6th draft pick went on to take the starting position. With a post season record of 35-13, TB12 cemented himself as the greatest player to ever play the game. Despite being dead last in the NFL combine.

I don't quite understand american football, but your commentary is amazing! Keep it up!

I didnt expect that berman impression almost choked on my chicken

Oh man you can hear in his voice he's exhausted from this mission lol 😭 you got this man 🙏🙏. You're a good sports commentary 😮

Lol the Tom Grossi theme playing in the background 😅

10:05 they moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens. Then a couple years later they were refounded as an expansion team.

Broncos?! Good choice!!! I’ve been waiting for a football stream. Thank you!

Damn this was my first game on the PS1. Nostalgia city

Thab hittin' the legendary Chris Berman "whoop!!" was the best way to start 2024

Ed Mcaffery’s son is the best running back in the NFL today. Pretty neat!

wow I never knew that Mcafferys dad made it to the NFL..that was random as hell for you to pick his team out of the rest.

"Is that Shannon Sharpe on defense?" It's special teams.

HAHAHA the Chris Berman impression 😂😂😂 the way I IMMEDIATELY knew

I'm a game audio guy so I'm biased, but please feel free to spend more time talking about the sfx and music in these games. Much of your footage has your narration over the top so there isn't much game audio to hear. Still love this series!

That impression was spot on!!!! That made me laugh out loud for real!!! I love your videos man

Amazing videos man I love these. I've shown alot of people your Channel and they watch these videos today!

your football commentary is the best!

Wooooooo I love everything you do! Honestly we’re too blessed to have you staying disciplined along your journey 💪

Amazing berman impression, even got the cadence right. Whoop!

This is the only series that i will actually watch sports and japanese puzzle games..

Looking forward to Hydro Thunder. DAMN THE TORPEDOS

Eh... I'm a little bummed that a whole season wasn't played. I've been waiting for a game to come along that required a whole season.

If I remember right this game introduced the juke and it was wildly over powered. Getting TD returns was kinda easy.

Surprised you knew Robert Edwards on the Pats considering he played 1 year before injuring himself playing flag football funnily enough

Cant wait for next week! That games a classic

Nice Berman whoop lmao. I still think you need to include the "Fastest Two Minutes/NFL Primetime" music and do your highlights that way on football games 🤣

I wish Nintendo Switch online had sports games…most video game nerds don’t like sports, so it’s nice that Thab knows sports. Sports are great.

What an incredible journey! Keep going TB

Friday’s hit different now

6:23 Weird that Rich Gannon is the starter. Elvis Grbac was the starter in QB Club 99. Gannon was only the starter (successfully) for a few games in the middle of the season while Grbac was hurt.

Pretty good Berman tbh. I was not expecting the sports commentary, but I love it.

Ah another sports game week ... And yet I click right away when I see the video uploaded! Great work as always Thab :)

I really love your color commentary of at least one game in each of the sports games. Thank you!

Great ESPN highlight review lol

I admit i thought yet another sport title was gonna be a blah playthrough but you killed the commentary. I'm actually excited for the next 10 maddens lol

Nice video, just a note, the Broncos would never meet the Bills in the Super Bowl. They are both in the AFC. LOL. Good video as always.

excellent play by play commentary lol, very entertaining

After getting back into N64 this year to casually speedrun SM64 one thing I noticed at every retro game store is that Madden football 64 carts are as guarenteed at the stores as death and taxes. So I started buying them everytime I see one. Only started collecting Madden 64 carts this year and so far up to 12 copies. One day Ill be the man with the largest Madden 64 collection of all time. With only 12 carts though, I may already be.

The NFL knowledge you drop makes me respect you my guy

Best thumbnail of the entire series so far and there have been some great ones already

Good to see my Bills losing in heartbreaking fashion, even in this series. Very on brand

I cannot recall from the catacombs of my memory, if my all time number 1 favorite national football league of America player Leroy Hammers aka. L'Hammers was in this game. slapping jolly mooving picture show ole' chap.

absolutely love the play by play for the sports titles

Love the series!

3:03 BOOM goes the dynamite!

I’ve been waiting for this one. It had to be sooner or later.

Funny thing about the Browns leaving and returning to the league. If Joe Flacco can win us a Super Bowl this season, It'll be his second Super Bowl with the Cleveland Browns.

4:11 Belichick wasn’t the coach of the Pats yet when this game came out… I would normally say he wouldn’t let a team be that terrible, but I’ve had the unfortunate experience of seeing the Pats over the past couple years post-Brady.

loved that pats team with glenn and coates

The Browns went to Baltimore. 😢 Belichick also got fired as they left Cleveland too. That move had a lot of ramifications for the NFL.

Your timing couldn't have been better so close to his anniversary rip john

The Boomer impression made me feel like a kid again

This was great. Thanks

I look at this game and think back on playing it. I think about how the game would change in the very next generation and wonder how did that ever enjoy this game?

The Denver Broncos have been my favorite football team since I was a kid. Dad was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys for more then half his life but he turned against them after they fired Tom Landry and liked Denver for a few years then switched to the New York Giants, and then was a fan of the Atlanta Falcons until his death in 2011. I might have played this at a cousin's house but we generally only owned one or two Madden games per console. We had 93 and whichever was the first with two point conversions on the SNES, 2002 on the PS2, and I got Madden 12 upon getting my PS3 soon after he passed. I remember for the first couple of years after getting 93 we had to flip a coin to see who got to play as Denver.

as a life long colorado resident moments like this bring me a lot of happiness

Great commentary

I CANT WAIT FOR HYDRO THUNDER!!!!! Been patiently waiting for fzero, but this is another great game!!!!

"A nice 69 yard pass there!" ... [chef's kiss]

Damn the Torpedoes! You're crazy! 😊

Each aspect im sure had to be heavily considered as sports games that are fully fleshed out require a media format w relatively good specs, if theyre also going to look good enough for commercial viability. Playstation being disc based was much more suited for such games. The n64s cartridge base, not so much..and that is likely why a quick sim option wasnt present. Though you wouldnt think itd have been taxing to include it. But probably was thought of as a quality of life feature because you can still sim; therefore not a must.

The Burman impression brought me to my childhood watching sports center late in my room as a kid before you even said his name. Ballin. Also the WAS a nice 69 pump catch...erm...in the yard...um...yard.

Thabeast721 did it again! Another one bites the dust!!! 👍

The browns never left the NFL. The browns were moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens and then in 99 Cleveland fielded a new browns team as art modell left everything but the players to the city of Cleveland.

2:18 Tom Tupa sighting

That’s funny, I remember last week when you announced this week’s game being Madden! And I was like, oh that sucks. Then today just now I saw game of the week! I was like, ALRIIIIIIIGHT!!!! And then I was like, oh madden, that sucks. 😂😂 EDIT: Solid commentary though!!

so excited for this friday

That was the fastest 12 minutes I've ever witnessed

FYI the Cleveland Browns left and became the Baltimore Ravens in 1996. The Browns reformed in 1999.

“a nice 69 yd pass” i see what you did there :)

cant wait to see you do Ogre battles 64

I love this pat mcafee ass music you put in @ 0:16 very appropriate

FOOTBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL! 🏈 I miss this era of sports games even if they weren't always the best.

Am I excited about another sports game ... no but will I still watch it cuz I'm here for the journey yes

That was a spinebuster

Congratulations on finally beating that horse game!!!
