I Still Play ESPN NFL 2K5

And much prefer it over the garbage football series that is Madden. I've now been playing NFL 2K5 for almost a decade and I actually believe the game is better than Madden 13, and visually looks very impressive. Why, Why did EA have to purchase the rights to the NFL?? Tragedy for football gamers everywhere, I just want NFL 2K14!!

So you like inferior things, it's a free country.

Why did the NFL go with Madden?

So if you (sadly) think that this is the crowning achievement of professional football you're going to have to understand that you are in a very small minority

My main problem with 2k5 is that some plays are too easy. There's rarely ever a reason to punt or kick a field goal on 4th and 1 because you're almost guaranteed 2+ yards on a QB Sneak (even against the hardest-difficulty computer). That's especially true if you're against a 4-3 defense because the QB can just sneak right between the two DTs without much of a problem.

There's also that it feels cheap at times because it seems like instead of improving the AI for the harder difficulties they just pump up the computer's stats. Tackling is much tougher, the computer players are always faster than your own, etc. I hate when games do that.

...despite this I still love playing it

I pop it in my PS2 once in awhile. It's still fun.

I like 2k5, except that it feels like your players are stuck in mud when you try to move them anywhere. Tecmo Super Bowl and Backbreaker scratch my football gaming itch.monkeytoes61

[QUOTE="youngmurk911"][QUOTE="andyboiii"] madden is more for people that like arcadish gameplay and don't really know anything about football such as yourself but hey if you're into games that are extremely flawed and gimmicks that's okay (it's a free Country) APF 2k8 didn't fail because of the gameplay though, it didn't do well because it didn't have the exclusive rights for the NFL plain and simple PSP107

Loved 2k5. Gotta dust off my PS2 and play this again.
