Is NFL 2K5 better than EA's American football game series?

As the EA licensing grip on the NFL seems to never weaken, what alternatives are there for American football fans? Is NFL 2K5 the most valid one? We blew the dust off our PS2 and gave this old school goody a spin to answer this question.

ApocalypseShadow2487d ago (Edited 2487d ago )

The cowards over at EA fear this legendary sports series. Just as NBA2K destroyed NBA Live over time, NFL2K was positioned to destroy Madden as well.

NFL2K5 was the last football videogame I bought and I will never buy Madden.

The competition of who's game was better from GameDay, NFL Blitz, Quarterback Club, NFL Fever, Tecmo Bowl, etc will be no more. The glory days of **CHOICE** are gone and the monopoly continues.

Deathdeliverer2486d ago

Was the last football game I bought too. It was sooooo much better than madden.

showtimefolks2486d ago

Best football game yes but let's not forget the fact the last few games in nba 2k series have been riddled with micro transactions

So not having competition hasn't helped Madden and it hasn't helped nba 2k

I will admit MTs coming from 2K is greedy as hell and they need to be gone, but the quality from Live have been abysmal as of late. I've seen point guards blocking centers and I was shocked that was still happening in the series in this day and age.

It's why I try to act like Live don't exist. 2K definitely not perfect but I would take my chances with 2K instead of Live.

ApocalypseShadow2485d ago

True. That's why competition is good.

Micro transactions suck. I agree. But the game embarrasses live.

I loved the ability to use songs burned to my Xbox for end zone celebrations and first downs. Also, the player interviews were so innovative. Also, the defensive controls and adjustments were so user friendly and intuitive. It’s definitely my favorite football game ever.

bluebenjamin2485d ago

I remember having certain songs play for different situations.People ise to wonder how I put misic on the game2k5 covered everything

Platformgamer2198d ago

i've nothing to do today, so i'll watch this trainwreck

ravens522198d ago

Agreed. Hopefully Star Wars is what its supposed to be though

Platformgamer2198d ago

after the battlefronts and the cancelled star wars SP games, being interested in a star wars game made by EA is pure sadomasochism

Godmars2902198d ago

And I've got washing to do, then shopping. But I love trainwreck (of the wholly non-literal trainwreck verity).

RpgSama2198d ago

I'll see only the Star Wars one, nothing else, I thought that Anthem was supposed to have a presentation too, I guess they don't care anymore

UltraNova2198d ago (Edited 2198d ago )

Yeah I was expecting at least a minute of Bioware's time saying they are working hard on it and some upcoming stuff, you know show they are still committed...

It looks like Anthem is dead.

PS: Anyone else got some Uncharted and Soulsborne vibes from the Star wars demo?

No Way2197d ago

There's your lil Anthem spiel.

Poopmist2197d ago

I took a nap instead. A good decision as it turns out.

Oh sweet I thought it his was tomorrow. I’m curious about the new Star Wars game but that’s about it.

Christopher2198d ago

It does feel like a lackluster lineup other than Star Wars. Essentially one new thing and all the other really old stuff that we tend to hear news about regularly as it is (or are annual fixtures for the last 3).

ziggurcat2198d ago

Star Wars is really the only interesting thing on that list.

SegaGamer2198d ago

I can't see myself sticking with this if this guy is going to be like this all of the way through.

Ratchet752198d ago

Greg Miller hosting this??
What happened to him?

Parasidious2198d ago (Edited 2198d ago )

Not a fan of the movement mechanics. It looks really wonky and jerky.

Parasidious2198d ago

Still doesn't change what it said.

Papafynn2198d ago

Yeah but that is the kind of polish you add in the last months of development. It looks good....a Star Wars Story
