Nfl2k5 is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

so besides the up to date rosters, 2005 doesn't look like much of an upgrade from 04.

They've covered pretty much everything already.

I agree, '04 is pretty complete as far as game-play is involved - not much else to do other than update rosters.

Am I the only one that never got the hang of the Playmakers mode in 04?

I never used it that much - it always just felt like a hot route, but the player is supposed to perform better I think. It is also subliminal advertising for that stupid soap opera on ESPN.

I am surprised at how good NFL2K5 is...and, they are selling it for $19.99. Hopefully, that will get them some sales from Madden, which is getting stale IMO.

ctosfan i couldnt agree more 19$ and game is unreal! you can play season on line

Madden is so good that they only need to upgrade rosters in my opinion,NCAA 05 is AWESOME as well,you got to love players getting suspended and you cant cut on a dime and switch direction without slowing a bit. It is much more realistic with the Defenses being tuffer.

One thing I hate on Madden, is you dont get the entire field. When I see a back swing off to a side, I cant tell where the heck he is to stop the pass. Ive tried differant camera angles too. Is there a way?

DaBeef

Great Game. The place that was selling it had a Maddden 05 Tourny too, that was fun. It was on the Xbox which I have never played, grapics seen way better on that than PS2.


Anyone else get it yet?

This is a BIG upgrade over '04

Plus, ESPN 2k5 is a decent game, but its franchise mode completely sucks.

DaBeef

My game pauses for a second after scoring a TD, thats pretty lame.

Anyways, defense is definetly better. Trying to figure out online play here in a minute.....

DaBeef

Played online last night, awesome. No more cheating by going for it on 4th and 22, so on. Also, it shows LIVE MLB scores on the menu screen. Probly football when that time come too.
