User Rating: 6.7 | ESPN NFL 2K5 XBOX
Great Graphics. Great Cutscenes and ESPN Effects make you truly feel like you're watching TV, not just playing on it. That is until, the announcers start talking and Stat's start showing up on screen. Like all Football Games before it, the game could be 75 - Nothing, late in the 4th Quarter...and the announcers will STILL SAY that "Team" has to do something good this time if they really want to stay in this game. The announcers also criticise you for PUNTING on 4th DOWN, even though YOU DIDN'T. You actually went for it on 4th and 2, and they can't believe you PUNTED THE BALL. There are times when they also talk about 4th down being next, even though the OTHER TEAM Already has the Ball. The Stats are also messsed up, as when Shawn Springs has 101 Yards Rushing, and 58 Yards Passing....he DOESN'T Have 101 Total Yards. Plus: The Chris Berman Halftime and Postgame Highlights are GREAT, VISUALLY...but listening to him speak in little 2-3 Second Statements, Strung together to TRY and make a Sentence, are really annoying. Should've just stuck with the Visuals Chris.
