User Rating: 9.5 | ESPN NFL 2K5 XBOX
Does anyone remember ESPN 2K6 for the Xbox 1? After a long waiting period we can now play it on the Xbox 360 as the list of backward compatible games grows. ESPN 2K6 football put a big dent in the side of the Madden creators and after the release of ESPN 2K6 Madden bought a contract with NFL as there only makers of NFL games for a few years. I can't remember how long Madden has the rights to NFL games but i hope 2K Sports comes back with an awesome NFL game like they did with ESPN 2K6. NFL should have never let Madden have all the rights to the NFL copyrights. Every new Madden game was just not worth the money for just a few tweaks here and there. I would have loved to see Madden and 2K sports battle to make the best title. That's the way it should be. It should come down to what the users pick as the best game. Madden did not pick-up on what 2K Sports did with ESPN 2K6. The game has the Sports Center that really makes you feel as if you are part of the game. It has a coach mod where you can sit on the side lines and just call the plays. 2K Sports was on there way to making football a true real experience. But the down fall was Madden put the breaks on 2KSports and bought the rights to all NFL games.
