5 stars this the game way better than espn 2k5 stiff arms way better in 05 ...great graphics
Madden 2005 vs ESPN NFL 2K5
I wanted a Football game but I couldn't decide which one so I got both. After playing more than 10 games for each title I have to say ESPN NFL 2K5 is better.

>ESPN has better presentation. Madden's presentation is lame. The play menu takes up more than half of the bottom TV screen, so you all see is players' top half, their legs looks chopped off. To make things worse, whenever you scroll thru the playbook the action gets paused a bit which makes all action choppy. ESPN has better looking cheerleaders and they do different things. Madden's cheerleaders have only one look type and she is ugly and has Bugs Bunny teeth and its the same sorry ass scene everytime. Madden's game intro always show players with their helmets on during pre-game exercise, ESPN players have face and hair!! ESPN's replay engine is better too, it shows the entire play, unlike Madden's which shows pieces of play.

>Graphically ESPN is better. You can see vent holes on players' jersey. Madden's stadium/background graphic is a bit more clean, for example the banners and jumbotrons look sharper but this is because Madden's camera engine has NO side and iso views. ESPN has side and iso views, so its understandable that the stadium/background graphic is lesser, but just a bit if any. ESPN's animation is smooth. In Madden 2005 the animation is often choppy. Especially in demo mode.

>Both games are not perfect, both have bad and good points.

>Gameplaywise Madden is very arcadey, it kinda plays like Madden on Genesis. On offense you can zip your pass for completion almost everytime in any situation, even into the mass pile of players at the line of scrimmage. You can basically complete your pass to anyone anytime. ESPN's gameplay is more simulation and realistic, you can't zip your pass like Madden else it will be incomplete or intercepted. You have to read the player's route and wait for the right time to pass. In Madden, quarterbacks pass to the receiver; In ESPN, quarterbacks pass to "the spot" of the route. Running game in Madden is horrible, you get tackled when you get near opposing players. Madden's running game feels like flag football. The running game in Madden just simply don't work that well. ESPN's running game is much better and realistic, you can bump off, spin, and power your way thru other players. Overall ESPN's passing and running game has good balance and both can and will be used in games. In Madden the passing game dwarfs the glitched running game.

>Another thing I noticed is that ESPN has more player pictures! Roethlisberger and Eli Manning got pics in ESPN but none in Madden.

>I purchased Madden 2005 because of the price drop. I was not impressed with Madden so I purchased NFL 2K5 for $20 the same night(even after so many months since its release). Im glad that I tried ESPN 2k5, it is better than Madden 2005. I will be returning my Madden 2005 tommorrow.
warning! Review for 2005 and madden 2006
I am taking my time to write a honest review about this game. If you are those kind of people who like games who resemble the real life then this game is not for you.

<
>The NEGATIVES (which are more then the positives by the way).
<
>
<
>* IN real life when teams are on offense most of the time DEFENSES get tired. Well, in madden 2005 and 2006 that is not the case, if your offense is on the field most of the time your offense gets tired and their defense gets stronger.
<
>
<
>*When the computer wants to score there is NOTHING you can do. Even If your CB is covering, the ball will go through his body and the WR will catch it ( i have never seen that in other games like ESPN).
<
>
<
>*As we all know in MADDEN players are rated by an overall number. IN madden 2005 and 2006 for example if your defense is agains the computer you have a big disadvantage one single offensive linemen can block 3 (99 overall) players of your defense.
<
>
<
>*The most ridiculus part of this game is when a CPU player is running in one direction and then accelerates in the ooposite direction and tackles your player and the block at the same time.
<

<
>I can keep going on and on and tell you why after 5 minutes this game is not fun anymore, but the negatives are so many that I would need days to review this games (2005 and 2006).
<
>
<
>If you ask yourself why am I including madden 2006 in my review? I do it because i have a friend who is a game tester and he told me that the gameplay of Madden 2006 is exactly the same as the 2005.
<
>Personally i am done with the MADDEN series until thye re-disign the gameplay and it resembles more to real life.
