Hands down one of the greatest football games ever made

I havent played Madden 2005, but I'm sure the graphics are definatley behind this game. The game is only 20 bucks. Yeah thats only 20 bucks. The sad thing is EA has the NFL franchise and there will be no more ESPN NFL 2K games until, like 2007, but what a way to end the franchise. THe graphics are so real looking and the FPS football takes a while to get used to but is really fun. There is nothing more exciting than watching Sports Center after a game in the carrer mode. I myself think that Madden is a better game. I like how that one is a little beyond reality and you can throw a hail mary down the entire field if necessary. In this game that is less likely to happen therefore I am worse at it. I got this game like the week that it came out and it seemed liek such a great game. Sadly, like I said before if your like me and you love the Madden series, and you love throwing down the entire field, this one is more realistic than that. This game does have online, but since it is on the PS2 so does the Madden game so it is really up to how you feel about the game. If you like Madden and you already own Madden 2005, then I suggest a rental before purchasing it because I found it quite different. This is no budget title so don't get fooled by the price.
