NFL 2K5 was better, but Madden 05 sold better. Now They will have been out of the NFL for 5 years, d oyou think they can pickup where they left off and jump past Madden, that seems like a bit of a stretch imo.mischa_barton
You're right. It would be a stretch but I doubt impossible. I see it this way...2k is about gameplay..realism...And EA is honestly about features. And in basketball 2k won...they sold more...But yeah I understand where you are coming from, 2k has been out of the way. All Pro 2k8 couldnt touch Madden 08. But All Pro 2k8 was a $20 game and when 2k gets the chance to make a NFL, $60 (the more expensive, usually better) football game I think people will have a great time being allowed to, at least, choose again. I do feel 2k will come back strong..how strong? I don't know, just have to wait and see. Will be interesting again to see EA vs 2k on the football field again

[QUOTE="sourcerah"][QUOTE="CoiledNewkirk"]

Same game every year...... just new rosters.......they should just make 1 madden then have you download the newrosters on your xbox.........from the marketplace

Doomtime
false.fail... This years madden has tons of new features that have yet to be implemented in a football game. Makes me wonder if people actually take the time to look at what the game offers before the make their ignorant comments

It's pretty obvious they don't

Not taking anything from what was said. But yeah THIS YEAR is going to be real good...Still needs a little more..but i admit the features this year are on a newer level (finally) I wanna play a NFL 2k game though, just for some options.. But yeah I'm getting Madden this year and compare gameplay from last year but from the demo...it looks good

gotta be honest...I love madden, but I'm an honest guy first and a game nerd second. And truthfully, madden is missing a big breakaway punch. They steadily add and add and tweak and improve. Which I love, but at times the love turns to boredom. I guess I want what 2k Sports did with the basketball game genre. They changed the entire way I view basketball on a console causing me to never purchase another NBALive or any other non competitive game. I want even more realism, and the gang tackles GREAT TOUCH! and the Extra Point Feature BEAUTIFUL! Now work more on the players having emotion, and not the same damn movements. Everyone still seems like the same bodies in different jersies. THATS OLD! I want what 2k did and make the game even more real as far as the players, let's see the sidelines, the fans do more. The players need to react to the tempo of the game. If its a simple catch run back to the huddle, if its A BIG CATCH thennnn celebrate. Let us feel the players fatigue, struggle, and want to win! Mix it up! DONT JUST SAY "WE WANT TO BRING THE GAME AS CLOSE TO SUNDAY AS POSSIBLE" LET THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON FEEL BE IN THE GAME! LET THE GAME DO THE TALKING! THATS WHAT FANS WANT!

Then why did Madden 2005 still outsell NFL 2k5 even though it was only $20? Seriously Come on. Most people that bring up the rights don't know what they're talking about. The NFL came forward and a bidding war ensued so somebody had to win. Even when 2K comes back, it will still take time for them to put a dent into Madden's sales.

@ DOOMTIME First, I never said madden 2005 was worse than NFL 2K5 I loved madden that year, quite a bit more actually, even though 2k did valiant ...But...looking at how comfortable madden has become it seems sluggish..in my opinion... Second, since we're on history, Live 05 was better than NBA 2k5..but when 2k FINALLY decided to step up they killed Live last season..Not dick riding 2k, they're a good franchise without as much exposure, and have proven to many (since nba 2k9 was number #1, fans and choice) they can outdo EA somewhere. Lastly, it'll be good to have some competition for Madden that way EA can prove again, since they are madden that 2k is not a threat. But by the way EA loss in the basketball setting it will be an interesting battle I want a chance to choose...thats all....

Here's my take, and I'll post this multiple times, and whether you choose to "respect my post" or not is all your personal choice. But in my opinion, Madden is like Rome. A great dynasty destined to fall. Of course, madden is a household game, and I love the competition it brings to fans year in and year out. But eventually that will cease. Madden is getting better and better for online play only (in my opinion) so of course die hard madden fans are going to go nuts. But lets step away from the gridiron and look at the hardwood. An interesting study (moreover fact) I saw that EA doesn't want to comment on is NBA LIVE. NBA live was the **** I must say, but due to a sneaky competitor *COUGH* NBA 2K9, NBA LIVE 09 almost fell off the charts. Its interest and honestly, spotlight has dimmed especially since last year. So, my question is..when the exclusive NFL rights are ended, and 2k and/or other CAPABLE competitors have a chance to make a game, will Madden die down a bit (of course madden will never totally go away) or will EA create a madden that will be magnificent OUTSIDE of online play, and go from year-to-year "make up touches" to extreme, eye-boggling changes such as create a team, more player realism (that 2k did in NBA2k9 which drove fans wild), and pleasing the all-around fan: leave no stone unturned. I BELIEVE MADDEN NEEDS TO WATCH OUT FOR 2K WHEN THE EXCLUSIVE NFL RIGHTS END! As seen with the NBA2K9 vs NBALIVE09 the better game always sells more. EA NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THEMSELVES, IT IS ALL ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE GAME...NOT THE NAME OF IT...

MADDEN NEEDS TO WATCH OUT FOR 2K WHEN THE EXCLUSIVE NFL RIGHTS END! LOOK AT WHAT HAPPEN WITH NBA2K9 VS NBA LIVE 09..THE BETTER GAME WILL SELL (MORE)!
