I could never after more than 10 years, get that melody out of my head. I might just have to sample it.

I got CTE just by watching this intro, damn this was my first football game ever. Damn, I miss ps1.

The tackling grunts are really satisfying because it amplifies the impact of the hits.

Back when they play football like real men

I absolutely loved this game, hearing and seeing that intro really brings me back to my childhood, I became a Packers fan from playing that game.

What if I told you 25 years later that this intro still lives in my head rent free. ESPN 30 FOR 30 Presents: Hits Different

When we weren't forced to play Madden....... This was a go to daily back in the day on PS1 along with Final Fantasy 7, Twisted Metal, Metal Gear Solid, Duke Nukem A Time to Kill, Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Cool Boarders 2

My very first game for the PS1...i was more amazed as a kid with the crowd and the stadium more than gameplay...lol and i freaked when i saw the snow

The golden year's of my childhood

This entire video is filled with flags in today’s game.

A CTE celebrated intro. Love it. This game was awesome back in the day.

Man, I miss the old NFL 😪 This was a great NFL video game as well, better than Madden and the rest in 97

This is the NFL I grew up with. I often come back to this vid to remind me of the good ol’ days, back when defenses could play defense and QB’s rarely made it passed 35 years old. I miss those days 😪

Sad that most of these types of hits will be penalized in today's NFL

The first football game that I put some serious time into!! What a memory!!

All of these tackles would be flagged in today’s NFL.

Greatest sports game intro in history.

I was born in 97’ and still was blessed enough to play this growing up

I remember this every waking moment of my life

Childhood memories 🙌🏽

The nostalgia hits hard with this one

This game, a blue Gatorade, and some Pizza Hut and my weekend was elite.

Amazing that you get to see one of Junior Seau highlights for a split second.

This was my second favorite football game after Tecmo Super Bowl. Then few years later 2K series comes and rest is history.

This and madden 00 had the best intro Also all those hits are penalized in today’s game lol

played this game so many hours i remember this video vividly

Game day 98 was my first football game I ever played bck in 98 when i was only 10years old..

Back when football was brutal

Essa introdução remete muito a minha infância hahaha. Obrigado pelo post

When you brought the game..and thought the intro looked like that game..and felt play when u hit that start button and always asked yourself back in the days (why the game can’t look like the intro) lol 😂

First game when I got my PS1 Christmas of 98! Great intro gets the people going!

i miss the old days real nfl football where you may get your head taken off going over the middle of the field and actual good fun nfl video games. i rocked gameday 98' / 99'/ 00' hard back in the day. i remember getting it for x-mas and i'd cut the tape on the wrapping paper sneak the game disc out and re tape the game box and put it back under the tree. i was very cunning lol

I love when the hits went with melody

best game intro ever! of and pretty much ALL of those hits in this video would be flagged for personal fouls in todays day in age

Nostalgia!!!! Gd 98 was awesome and i was so good at it that yr! I was a senior in high school that year and i always loved madden but in 98 i loved gameday over madden. Gd98 was awesome...

Tom Brady want survived in this NFL era lol 😂😂😂

My absolute favorite intro to NFL

Fellas, I say this in every version of this video. Check dude trying to haul in that pass at @0:50 It slides off his fingertips, and those 2 defenders still fuck him over good! 😂🤣

Brings memories

The Best intro 🎉❤

The hits are so violent, today it would be a penalty and jail time for this generation of soft players of the new NFL. I miss those days. Even the uniforms much nicer.

I confess that I have...an odd fascination with football, I'm not so much of a "fan" (in a die hard sports viewer sense.) But for some reason; I love the music, the tackles, the adrenaline of watching the players run, the halftime shows, the music (such as this game's theme) and of course, the stadium food. For me, though; Blood Bowl (the Warhammer 40K version of football) is what I think the sport should really be like

I always remember the frozen tundra. Then Dan Marino right after. Missed this game

0:14 Starting Point

All yellow flags now!!!!

I loved this music.

Love this game

Great sound

All those hits now would be personal fouls lol

Best football game at the time

The gold ole days 💯🥴😂

Recuerdo que tacleabas con el hombro con el botón R2 o R1 y el golpe era tan fuerte que regresabas al jugador 5 yardas.

Nearly all these hits would be legal today, too. They are nearly all perfect form tackles. The hits that WEREN'T legal were the ones that have a high risk of paralyzing both players.

Al fin encontré este temazo, por la csm.

The stiff arm was like death to defense in this game if time right

Look at all those clean roughing the passer hits 😂😂😂 now you got basketball players playing football lmfao football use to weed out them mfs back in the day unless you were good at both but now tho....that’s another story 😂😂😂

Who was up until 6 am as a kid playing madden even tho you was supposed to be sleep hrs ago

Know how many flags would've been thrown during the intro had this been today's game?

Mostly all those hits are 15 yard penalties now

1:19 Helmet Knocked Off! old helmet not safe to wear

i am from Indonesia, because play this game i know about american football beside noter Dame football from CNBC asia

They would flag nearly every one of those big hits you see here these days. Every one of them.

0:46 Shawn Price ✋ Troy Aikman

Back when the NFL openly supported CTE

RIP John!!

literally all these hits are penalties in today's NFL...

2020 football Roger Goodell rules...personal foul!!! 15 yards...automatic 1st down. 😂🤣😂😂

All these hits are illegal now 😂

Did the gruff voices say Cut?

You can't tackle like that anymore football has got soft.. I remember those days.

Yep and if them hits happen today the offending player is thrown from the game and ridiculed as violent

So much CTE

Hahahaaaaaa damn

I counted at least 25 penalties lol

Little kids today playing is tone down

UURGGGHH...GAAHH...RAAWRR...BLRHGHRGHR

This video made me never wanna play football omg I feel those hits almost sounded like it hurt shit and the music didn’t help omg 😳 that’s how it used to be shit

lol so many defenseless receiver penalties in the intro such a soft league now lol
