It is MAdden time again. Some of you may be hyped up and ready but some may be the same. But Madden 05 is something to check out. With new features,a updated roster, and more MAdden Cards this game you will leave you wnting to play it over. The game play in Madden 05 is about the same as the other MAdden games. you have the normal controls and you also have the same teams so at first it seems the same as last year but this tim there is the hit stick. The hit-stick has been added this year to add mor to the D. With the ablitly to cause fumbles and hurt players faster this is one control you will have to learn. Also the franchise mode has increased this year. With a better way to use the controls in your favor you will have a easier and better time playing. Season mode is back and it is greater than ever. This years madden is one of the best released. With the hit-stick and more this is a game you may want to check out. But not all is perfect. The gameplay does need more IMO. Because of the hit-stick the O should have something to but sadly they don't this year and that can leave the game sided if someone has a bad O but a good D. We aren't done yet like every year in the Madden series the graphics keep improving. This year the fields look good. Also the players look way better than in past years versions. Also the menus look better and can be used better. The graphics also help out in gameplay because they make every hit and the fields look more realistic adding to the feel of this years MAdden. Graphics are outstanding this year but do have some room for improvement because sometimes the characters just look plain after a while also the fields don't seem to take damage a real field would if it was raining and people were playing on it. Sound is one of the best things in the MAdden universe year after year. With new songs coming every year it adds to the feel that you are in a real football arena. IMO the soundtrack this year is the best it has been with bands such as Green day playing. Also the commentary is great in this game as well. They actually seem as they are really there. The only complaint I could really have with this game is that sometimes the comentaryis late every now and then. Overall Madden is great this year for football fans. Even though ESPN is out it doesn't hold anything to this game.
