The real low down on the game compared to madden
User Rating: 8.6 | ESPN NFL 2K5 XBOX
I have just recently played and own the game and to my surprise all the people that said this rocks compared to madden might be right. The graphics are amazing and It makes me look at madden and say WHAT, and the sound is great but the announcers are not all that better then maddens. There is tons of great looking animation and something about them makes you say that reminds me of real football. There are a couple of thing lacking though like pass defence. There seems to be to many completions and big plays that can be used be the pass that hopefully been cleaned up in NFL 2k6 if they could make a game. Franchise mode is also smaller then maddens and just seems simple in comparison. I don’t hate ea for what they did but it is a shame to see an up and coming franchise die like it did.
