Things you want aholbert to look for when he plays the game...

[Blackvivaldi]

My thing is the stadium reaction to plays on the field(boos, cheers, gasps), commentary, Stadium specific themes for example, its there a buzzing sound after you score a TD at the Beehive stadium?...I already know from watching the videos what to expect for gameplay, animation and graphics...I shall gladly pay $100 for this game regardless...Cheers!

AHolbert.

Not a demand or telling you how to do things.

1. Play NFL2K5 for the rest of the week. No madden, no other football. Just NFL2K5.

I say that so when you play the new game, you can give good details on how much the controls have been tightened up(or not) between the 2.

Match ups. How well a gold WR does against a bronze or non-legend player.

Take note of how well defenders play their zones in zone defenses.

Wen playing man to man defense, how well do the Gold CB's cover compared to non-legends.

On Blitz plays, watch the paththe blitzer takes. Do the blitzers try and go around players instead of trying to run through another defender to get to the QB. Was not a big problem in 2k5, but I did see it from time to time. mario blitzing, LOL.

If they have a QB spy hot route....check to see if it works.

Lol! Maybe someone has asked this of you already, but if you can ask him if what build of the game that you're playing, that way we'll have a better idea graphically how finished the game is. See about how the playoffs work, after drafting you teams are there FA's available. And no, I don't care if the laces on the football are turned correctly. Thanks man in advance.

Don't fear folks. Aaron will give great impressions when he comes back, positive or negitive.

I'd say play Madden07. It'd be great to see the difference between 2k5 and 2k8 but people want to buy a next gen game and 2k5 isn't next gen. I'd like to know how it compares to Madden07 without a license (especially since Aaron is pretty unbiased on the two titles).

can someone please tell me when all of this playing time is going to happen?

I will definetly ask about the build. Ive been to 5 of thes 2k press sessions and I cant ever remember them showing me a beta version of a game. Its always been the alpha or store version of the game.
