ESPN NFL 2K5

THE BAD:
The only bad thing is that the voice doesn't match up with Chris Berman or Suzy Kolber's mouth.

Everything else is sweet.

SUMMARY:
Overall I'd say this is the best football game out there for the 2005. It overpowers Madden by alot. It's only $20 so you can get it without trouble. It's probably one of the best games i've ever played.

YOu would have an excellent time playing this game with friends. The VIP feature lets you play against your friend as if he/she was there. Franchise mode is soo cool. You can watch Sports Center or even train before taking the field.

THE BAD:
Only $20 dollars, so they got to sell more than Madden to make back the money, a few flaws that shouldnt really stop a smart shopper or football fanatic.

SUMMARY:
Feels like the real deal, replays, commentary, fans cinematics. This is the ideal game for those on a badget, just as good if not better than Madden and plays better(in my opinion) than any of the other Maddens out there. I was a big Madden fan, but if Sega keeps the work up, I might be on the banwagon for this long and prosperous football franchise. Lots of plays, lots of players, lots of ESPN action that you would see on ESPN. Too bad it doesnt have the ten best plays of that week though, would be damn sweet. Even if you dont like it,...

SUMMARY:
This game is overall the best NFL Football game to come out in 2005, and it is only $19.99 while Madden is $49.99. The graphics are extraordinary along with the sounds. Now there are more tackle effects than 2K4. The Rosters are up-to-date and the Team Stats are also. The Franchise is better and more developed than last year's. In the 'Crib', there are more items and more things to do. You can recieve a phone call from a Celebrity, challenging you to a game against their VIP team. And they have Historical Teams and something called 'ESPN 24th Anniversary', where you play historical...

THE BAD:
Too many interceptions

SUMMARY:
The Franchise Mode is a lot of fun to play through and the ESPN presentation makes it that much more realistic. The running game is now more realistic so don't expect to break 9 tackles and streak for a 75 yard touchdown 3 times a game anymore even though the shoulder charge is a bit too effective. Playing defense is fun since you can matchup defenders using an easy button system or just matchup your deadly CB with that slick receiver in the pause menu.

The passing game has taken a step back though from last year. There are now more INTs then deflected passes, defenders rarely swat passes down like real life. They just go for the INT everytime and that's nice when it works. This isn't that bad except the fact that it takes the fun from...

THE BAD:
well i dont think there are any bad things at all, this game is just too good. If there is one bad thing is that there should be no Cris Berman guy like in NFL countdown, its good but his voice dont match his mouth thats moving.

SUMMARY:
Franchise mode is detailed so well it makes you feel as a NFL player. The gameplay was good in the last game and this game is Awesome. Graphics as i said were so well that everything looks real. Celebrations are also cool. And getting calls from certain celebrities and play their team, that is cool! And you can hear players say different things and are real funny. The replay value of this game is *********************** the Best played this game 8 hours straight!! Also Cib is outsatnding this year with even more things to buy!!! And there are characters you can unlock...
