    Yep. It ended up backfiring, as the NFL was miffed that their "premium product" was being sold as a loss leader, and that's the reason they signed the exclusive rights deal with EA in the first place. 2K5 was objectively the better game with the better presentation, but the NFL was so upset with them that they sold themselves to EA out of pure spite.

    Ok shoot, if there were no EA there would be no nfl 2k5, there wouldnt be all the great EA Sports BIG games no MVP baseball no Fight night, I agree with you that EA is pretty greedy nowadays but to say it's the worst thing to happen gaming is pretty lazy, imo simultaneously the worst and best thing to happen to gaming was the ESRB ratings. It kept games that were graphic or more adult from being banned outright in our country back in the 80's and 90's. The problem is it also was created by game companies, allowing for legal loopholes so a company could come along and make "suprise mechanics" or the awful "loot boxes" and garbage like that. You should also consider that making games is more financially risky than ever before a bad game or two could sink gamers confidence in them, so EA did the thing they thought they had to to keep stockholders happy and increase profits make SAFE games with microtransactions. I think bigger game companies have underestimated how much gamers value good gameplay and its apparent in most games today, indie companies are making better games with a handful of people but not big profits.

    EA Sports post-exclusive agreement with the NFL, yes. But before they made great games. On the flip side, they made what is still the best baseball game ever made, MVP Baseball 2005. In retaliation for losing the NFL, 2k outbid EA for MLB games and needless to say, the mlb 2k series went tits up after their exclusive deal expired because it wasn't good and couldn't compete with the quality of MLB The Show despite "the show" only being a Sony exclusive. In retrospect, EA should have gotten the MLB contract and continued the MVP series and 2K should have gotten the NFL...

    @Jim Johnson Madden 05 was a response to a legitimate threat. Which should piss anyone who still plays the shitty versions of that franchise today all the way off. It's not an issue of if they can, but whether they will. And they won't. Because they have no reason to. Madden 05 was their apex...and it was a RESULT of 2K5 being such a great game. Choosing one or the other was splitting hairs because they were both fantastic games. But the POINT is, EA took the easy way out and snuffed out competition and has steadily regressed ever since. Kinda reminds me of the WWF/E. Shareholders over quality. But the people keep consuming so there no reason to change. Well at least in EA's case.

    I like the fact that "Maximum Tackling" was their low key version of the hit stick. You just clicked the right thumb stick after a charge to deliver a bone jarring hit. You could also use the right thumb stick to spin and juke on offense and manually hurdle by clicking the left thumb stick. Nuanced is an understatement! 💪🏽

    Nathan C you can make an adjustment in madden to match guys up on generalizations like fastest on fastest or highest overall on highest overall , but in 2k you could go in and specifically assign a guy to cover a specific player and could pick to double team then or not. One thing it still think is dumb in madden is how they pulled out all the defensive plays that had a double team built in, we already have enough button presses to do pre snap without have to manually double too

    Nathan C yeah that will generally have your guys play the other teams guys based off where they are on their sept chart so your number 1 plays their 1, your 2 their 2 ect as an alternative to it being just overall. In 2 k you could say I want Jalen Ramsey to play against Julio Jone specifically without it necessarily impacting the rest of the line up, and you could assign a double team on him the whole game if you wanted. You could literally go in there an assigned anybody on defense to whoever you wanted

    What's interesting is that people remember this year by Madden '05 having the hit stick while 2k5 came at 20$, but 2k5 had something similar to a hit stick: by clicking the Right thumbstick (R3) the defender would dive arm closed shoulder first as opposed to pressing X/square where he would dive arms open. This 2k hit "button" would stop forward progress knocking the offensive back and increase fumbles if done right, but was extremely hard to pull off. It was just something they really didn't mention

    There was a noticeable difference in playing with “elite” QBs, and, say, back up qbs. Accuracy mattered, you had to input which arm to stiff arm from, and even that was rating-related. Some RBs could stiff arm weak tacklers, but someone like Jamal Lewis would throw your face into the dirt. And i loved that animation where youd truck someone so badly that the player was rolling on the ground under your feet desperately trying to grab at you as you kept moving forward 😳

    I remember going to EB Games in the Mall with my friends during the summer of 2004 in July, we all played the game that they had setup on the Kios. We all walked out of the store with our own copy of ESPN NFL 2K5, it was an amazing football game and still is to this day. With that being said, I recently bought ESPN NFL 2K5 and All-Pro Football 2K8 again off Ebay, I just got my ESPN NFL 2K5 in the mail this morning, All-Pro Football 2K8 won't arrive until Monday or Tuesday, I can't wait to finally own these games once again. I haven't bought a Madden game in years, and I won't due to the direction the game has headed in. And it also blows my mind that, a football game that's almost 16 years old still plays better than any current or last gen Madden game, lol! And I also believe that EA Sports shot themselves in the foot when they bought the exclusive license to the NFL because, there's no competition for EA Sports or anything to help push their game to innovate. However, this is why Madden hasn't gotten better like it should of after all these years, there ain't any other NFL game on the market to compete with EA Sports.

    I love this game and still own it, I remember going back and forth with Madden 05 during that year. The only things with Madden that I enjoyed that year were the hit stick and Ray Lewis being on the cover. 2K5 just made a football video game feel fun. Not NFL Blitz fun, but competitively (especially in Franchise mode) you felt like you were playing and witnessing an important game broadcasted by ESPN. No other time since has a football video game done this for me. Sure, in Madden you may feel the stakes during a playoff game or one against a divisional rival, but 2K5 made EVERY game feel like this. Chalk-it-up to immersion and detailed gameplay fluidity, because that is what a sports game should always be. Even better, due to the competition from Madden during those times, 2K5 debuted with a $20 pricetag!! This is the best sports video game of all time, and it isn't even close.

    My favorite part of this game (besides being able to play it on my steam deck), is the pre-snap motions, hot routes, and subs you can do very quickly. Makes playing offence so much fun. You can play the numbers game on each side of the field like real life nfl offensive coordinators and play callers do. Madden never got this quite right. I feel like Peyton Manning sending guys in motion to get them open.

I just remember playing this game for 2 years straight while every version of M0adden I've bought since madden 05. I've only played for two weeks. Speaking of herky jerkie movement or players between transitions. Madden still does this 15 years later which is inexcusable. 2K still looks way more realistic. Especially in the side view it still resemles a televised game because of the realistic movements. Madden still hasn't even done presentation right yet. I'm jonesing to play this game and I can't put it off much longer.
