This game is incredible, that's about all I have to say right now because I want to get back to gaming.

Only thing dampering my experience is the fact that Im in jaggy hell(same with 2k4). It's in no way Sega's fault at all, as XBOX HD support is quite brutal. It's a shame this game wasnt in 720p, but I shouldnt complain, this is the best football game I have ever played.

what type & size TV do you have?

The game is pretty solid. If you enjoyed last year's game you will definitely enjoy this one. I like how you are still able to view some replays while picking your play. This year the ensured that more stats are displayed throughout the game. No longer do you have to pause the game and look to see how your Qb or Hb are doing. Also if you enjoyed the half-time show, this year is even longer with even more info and stats. The overall graphics are solid and gameplay seems tighter. Well worth the $20 asking price and more.

I was waiting online for Nivek to finish his game so we could play online and I got a pop-up telling me I had a phone call back at my crib. So I signed out and went into the crib, found the phone (its at the bar) and it was Funkmaster Flex challenging me to a game. I chose the "play later" option and he said "its cool, I got some cars to work on anyway."

Hitachi 46 inch 46F500
Monster 400X HD pack

I get jaggies in other games too, the level of detail is incredible but oh my god the number of jaggies is irritating. The bigger the screen, the more you're going to see these kinds of things, and although games state they support 16:9, it still looks like a slight stretch of the 4:3 signal. I might have to move the xbox to my 27 inch whenever I want to play NFL2K5.

Thanks for the impressions bruh...hey, have you seen any ferocious hits ie. decleaters,flips,mid air collision,blood,teeth...uhhhh got carried away lol! you know the deal...give me some "HITS" impressions man! Thanks

[onetonmartin]

too bad to hear that. I have a 50" so I'll see the same. I always have a hard time playing on the big screen anyway. (My eyes get tired.)

Another thing, Dolby 5.1 Surround is truly magnificent in this game. The crunch you hear from the hits puts you right on the field.
