Better than Madden... real shame they dont make NFL 2K's anymore!

I love playing football games, and this is probably the best for its time. I have lots of the Madden games, but they just dont compare with the 2K's! The game offers a great "Crib" mode in which you can decorate a crib with memorabilia from your favorite teams. You can also check out the trophies you have earned from your greatness on the field. There is also a mode inside the crib where you get phone calls from celebrities such as Steve-0 and Carmen Electra. When they call you get the chance to play against a team that they created. During the celebrity games you will hear real commentary from that celebrity. The game also has all the basic modes like quick game and franchise. The franchise mode in this game is deeper than any before it. The controls are perfect, although it offers no hit stick or truck stick! When the game first came out it was just 20 bucks compared to Madden 2005's 50 dollares! Now the game wont cost you more than $5, so money isnt the issue here. Although it might be outdated by a few years this game would be worth a few bucks.
