JOE MONTANA'S NFL FOOTBALL SEGA CD (Gameplay)

[dolemitej2]

This game was SUCH a disappointment. I loved the Joe Montana sports talk football - joe montana 94. Can't believe i wasted so much money on a sega cd.

[mikesmoove49]

this game sucked big balls

[mmasseo]

This games looks great for its time. nothing had this 3d feel at the time.

I do admit the game was slow, and timing was off, but it was fun. It was very pioneering. I think it helped other game makers see the potential for football games. Its kind of like what "World series major league baseball" for the Intellivision ECS did.

Frankly prefer sega's nfl '95 and '96 in game play. I bet if they would have come out with montana cd 2, it would have been better with all of the issues ironed out.

this game suck ass crack with ass juicie in it

[704Hustle]

lol...i used to have the this game and the sega cd but yeah..this game was a complete failure

[ioport]

This game was such a letdown after playing the Montana Genesis games. I thought Sega CD was supposed to make things even better? What a pos add-on

[JoeCool031619]

It was worth buying this game b/c if you put it in a cd player there was a track where Montana is rapping. I barely remember it, but I remember it was so bad it was great. Terrible game btw. The Sega Cd was the worst, but it was still cool to own one back in the day. I'm talking the old school one that connected to the old school Genesis. I think it weighed about 30lbs once it was all together.. Almost as heavy as my 3D0. Man there were some bad systems back then. Atari Jaguar..lol

[Hero2many]

I remember buying this game.. I was so excited cause I wanted to rub it in my friends face about how great it was cause everybody were Super Nintendo fans but when I played it I was so disapointed and so pissed off.. This game and graphics really sucked..

[batmanmotherfucker]

it looked about the same on regular cartridge i still have the game

[aryinc]

idd with a bit more coluors inscreen you could think some game are psx,when i came to the VR level in batman and robin on the sega cd i almost tought i was playing psx,sega cd had the most impressive scaling a 16bit console could wich for.

[GodfatherGaming1]

impressive GRAPHICS for sega cd!!! i must get my hands on one!!!!

[aryinc]

true the graphic are great,wished they made more games like this.looks like eraly saturn or psx,looks like above anything on snes.

[intellaricovision]

I have this game for Sega Game Gear...

[haroof]

Had this game too and it was a disgrace to Montana's name.

[MMcGuire5]

This deserves to go down as one of the best football games of all-time...you didn't see this much in depth game play strategy until you go to the Playstation Madden games.

[chza56]

Did anyone ever beat this game in the season mode, super bowl and all? In the credits they had some kind of rap song with Joe Montana saying his rap lines here and there. Hilarious.

[AllPro777]

WTF? Are you guys insane? This game sucked ASS!

It was slow. The passing was garbage. Running was garbage. The commentary was unnecessary since the timing was so screwed up.

This game was the absolute worst of the entire Joe Montana series. It's a forgettable game that no one cared about then, and they don't care about it now. it was one more reason for why the Sega CD was a joke, and one more nail in it's coffin.

People, If you've never played this game before, you're lucky!

[dock3000]

@AllPro777 yes, this game was horrendous in every way. The regular Sega Genesis version was 1000x better.

[Disthron]

@AllPro777 The interesting thing about this game, bad game play not withstanding, is that graphically it's very impressive for a 1993 console game. Not the best the Mega CD had to offer but it made good use of the hardware scaling effects in the machine.

Most Mega CD games were little more than ports of regular Mega Drive games. If more games had taken advantage of the upgraded hardware the machine could have faired better in the market.

[AllPro777]

@Disthron

For this game in particular, the reason it failed is because it was inferior to the Sportstalk Football series on Genesis which had continuous play-by-play announcing, better player models, better player control, and faster gameplay. Sure the scaling effects were good on the CD version, but the overall game still looked like crap compared to its Genesis counterpart and that was inexcusable. I tried to love this game but I just couldn't, it was just too awful.

[Disthron]

@AllPro777 I'm not disagreeing with you, other than that the game looked bad overall but that's just my opinion. I'm just saying that this game dose have some merit on a purely technical point of view. It's like Blood shot, a First Person Shooter, on the Genesis. It is not much of a game but as a tech demo it is very impressive, and Zero Tolerance showed what could be done with similar tech when given to people who knew how to make a game.

Do you get me now?

[AllPro777]

@Disthron

I got you before. I know you weren't disagreeing, I was just giving my take on why I felt the game missed the mark in relation to the cart version.

[SANxJONERO]

@AllPro777 I had it on genesis. Remembered liking something about it, but there must be some reason it ain't in my collection today.

[AllPro777]

@SANxJONERO

The Genesis versions were great UNTIL they started trying to make the game like Madden with NFL '95. That was the end for the series in terms of being relevant.

[SANxJONERO]

@AllPro777 I was actually thinking of NFL Quarterback Club. Can't really remember what games from back then I thought were really good. I remember liking the tecmo series.

[kevinpur]

Oh good god I had this game and it realy sucked balls. I was way to hard to keep track of the ball in the air.

[mmrythnkr]

Wasn't there an option to ask Joe Montana what play to select, and then a FMV would come up of him?

[akajackfrost]

Yes, there was an option to ask Joe Montana for advice. It wasn't too helpful, but it could be unintentionally funny sometimes. I specifically remember one time when I was down by seven points with six seconds left in the fourth quarter. Joe's advice to me was to "Run a couple of passing plays and then try to kick a field goal". Needless to say I decided not to heed his advice.

[domplegi]

wow impressive graphics for 1993, Game devs should have made use of the Sega CD hardware more often!

[carlitoparadise]

sega cd is much more than that...take a look at silpheed..batman returns..road advenger..and you will forget "that" for ever..

[mjc2021]

That is actually really impressive, sometimes I forget the SEGA-CD was capable of more than just FMV and CD Audio.
