No doubt one of the greatest football games of all time.  PERIOD.  Game Informer ripped it during some little thing they had to do to fill up pages.  However this game can not be touched.

Yeah, that game was great! Buying stuff for your house was pretty cool and I remember being able to be the quarterback and seeing out of the helmet. And I think the game was only $20 or $30.

It was great for its time, but if you go back and play it now, it's really not that great. It's still better than APF though. I was really hopeful that this game would have been good, but it just wasn't. One of the biggest things that bothered me about it was that felt so slow. A professional football game should not feel slow.

GO VIKINGS! 9-1

2k5 was an amazing football game and i thought all pro would be something like it but its not

I logged in at least 137 hours in that game...The Crib was addicting, the 25th anniversary situations were fun, the ability to choose your own 5 celebrations like Warren Sapp's dance...

...and Madden still hasn't impressed me at all yet, I probably won't get it this year and instead pick up NCAA Football 09

Well, I read OXM's review for Madden 09 and the game looks pretty promising. They gave it a 9.0 and I think I might just buy Madden this year..

Hmm, Well the only Madden game I bought on the old Xbox was Madden '04 with the training mode. Madden has yet to release a cool game mode on the 360. Doubling the framerate from '07 was great, but playing franchise mode over and over again gets repetitive.

Why do you miss it?  I found it for $1.99 at GameStop and slapped it in my 360!  And you still can join online leagues!!  Lets start playing again!!

 

Forget Madden!

I still own the game and I still play franchise mode with my ravens.

No need to miss the game. I still play it, and I play it every year with current updated rosters.

Hahahaha man this game was seriously so fun. I remember my house and stuff dude. It was decked out with Rams stuff everywhere!

 it was and is the best football game ever!!!

Attributes ment something 

in madden how does a corner with 88 speed and 92 accel. run with a WR with 98 speed and 96 acc.

contracts with players

2K5 you had a lot of different ways to do a contract to make it fit the cap

in madden its EA's way thats it

between games

madden you can set the price of tickets hot dogs and beer

2K5 you could run through a whole week of practices with films

make your linemen lift one day and do drills the next

wr and qb's run drills etc wich would increase attributes of your team

the haltime show with chris bergman was awesome

yes i loved this game i mean i loved it great tackles nice sacks rolling people

I played this game like crazy on my PS2 right up until I got a 360 in February. I miss my video game football, since I just can't get into Madden no matter how many years I try. 09 is no exception.

I just picked it up for 95 cents at Gamestop It says on the Xbox website it is back up compatible

Still to this day, I find NFL 2K5 the best football game ever made. However, I will say that 4-5 games into playing Madden 09, I am having a good time with it. The presentation is better but still a far cry from 2K5.

Greatest football game of all time. WAY WAY better then madden. The first person football mode was awesome and a very unique idea. They need to get there stuff straight and make another one.

I think they got bought out by EA or something ;[

If EA had competition, maybe they'd put more than a half-ass effort on the Madden series...

Yea, def one of the best football games ever. Madden or, ea, rather, needs to make their games like that. I had it for ps2, but I think I will look for it soon or trade mine in if I can get updated rosters..

Man I just bought ESPN  NFL 2K5 for 95 pennies.  You can even play it online but I havent made it a full game because it says it has network problems.
