In the spirit of the NFL's Super Bowl, the Game Guys on news10.net are taking a look at the vast supply of professional (and pro-style) football video games (good and bad) that have been unleashed to gamers over the years. Of that, a cool dozen stand out above all of the others.
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.
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.
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.
There’s no doubting the impact that this week’s Presidential Election has had not just on the US but the whole world. While we can’t forget the result (be it good or bad, depending on your political leanings) we can at least distract ourselves with a few good old fashioned video games.
The NBA, unlike the NFL, allows 2K Sports to compete with Electronic Arts. The result: an overwhelming win for 2K. NBA2K vastly outsells NBA Live.
With this petition, the gamer community is speaking loudly and clearly to you, Enough of the Electronic Arts’ Madden monopoly. Grant 2K Games a license to bring back NFL2K.
A petition won't do anything to me. To get NFL 2K back people need to stop buying Madden.
