You can do this in Madden 08 too....of course it is 3 years later so it's about freakin time!

NFL2K5 was way ahead of its time.

I agree, this is an excellent feature...

Good point about the manuals. 2K's are much better than EA's.

I started playing this game today after a two year layoff and yeah, it is the best football video game I've ever played still and still up there with Winning Eleven as the best sports video game I've ever played. So many amazing things.

I actually bought an old fat PS2 with a hard drive just to be able to see the halftime show, etc. in this game. Being able to see any replay in the gamecast was a nice bonus.

It's gonna be a long time before a football game surpasses 2K5's greatness.

Holy jeebus, never knew about that one, good call vswitzer. And to everyone posting about having to buy an Xbox, hell I did just that for this game myself last year when I discovered the awesome community of fans and rosters and enhancement packs. I of course had the PS2 one but that didn't have this much support so I spend around 200 bucks all together for an Xbox, the game, Action Replay and a controller. Worth it.

It was Anderson's 3rd of the day and Schaub's 4th. And right after that, like clockwork, SD marched the ball down the field and on a 4th and 10 from the 20 they throw a screen to LT who broke two tackles and took it down to the 2. The following play they hand off to Turner who came in for the tired Tomlinson, and fumbled the ball in the end zone... So I pretty much think I have game over with. Just one first down to go. But then Dayne breaks off runs of 3, 3, and 4 leaving me with 4th and inches. So like any other normal person I punt it away and on the very next play, with 1:09 to go, Rivers hits Chambers who breaks a tackle and puts on the ridiculous spin move to make a fully charged CC Brown miss completely... of course he scores a touchdown... which makes me down by 3 again... so, final drive starting at the 20: :58 - Schaub to Walter for 20 :51 - Schaub sacked for loss of 6 :34 - Schaub to Anderson for 22 :28 - INC Pass :23 - INC Pass :17 - Schaub to Anderson for 25 :12 - INC Pass :08 - Schaub to Walter for 19 and the Score* I had to take control and jump in front of three DB's to make the catch... I didn't believe he caught it so bad that I just stood there and Shaun Phillips had to knock me into the endzone... ****ing awesome game... I couldn't believe it... Anyway... I was sitting here marveling over the Gamecast and in the bottom right hand corner I notice "Press A to view replay"... So I think to myself, "WTF?... No way." ... but sure enough, you can view a replay of every single snap... I cannot believe I've never noticed this before... good god this game still finds ways to amaze me... unbelievable...

I feel ya brother.That feature is too cold man.I'm gonna have to pop in my ole 2k5 tonight...reading your post is getting me pumped up. Nfl 2k5 Foreva

Ah man your killing me! I totally forgot about that.Well my 360's gonna get unplugged when I get to the house.Getting my 2k5 on.

alright i have a quick question (off topic). in the enhancement pack after you download it and everything, are there more tackle animations? or are the hits just fiercer and harder?
