My largest win margin was 17 and that was against the Lions. (sorry Lions fans) I know for a fact that since i have fallen to the dark side and played madden since 06', i still find 2k5's secondary far more superior.

Yeah, agreed. On Game Informer, I actually like a lot of what they do, and it's my favorite print publication for games. But GI, just like the entire review industry, they have built-in biases to the point where I don't even think they know they're doing it.

For example, if some no-name game studio puts out a garbage video game for a movie like "Cars," IGN and all the other publications have no problem ripping said game a new one, even if it did go on to become the 2nd highest selling game of 2006 (behind, you guessed it, Madden). And if Guitar Hero keeps chugging out mindless sequels to make money (like GH: Aerosmith), you'll see reviewers penalize them for failing to innovate.

Yet, when Electronic Arts puts a facelift on the same crap year after year, all the review outlets still hype up their new releases like they're the greatest thing ever. Then you bring home Madden '08, and it's not even half the game of 2k5, or even some of the older Maddens! Only reason being that they need that advertising revenue, and game magazines have a symbiotic relationship with cash cows like Madden, which simaltaneously ruin the industry AND provide it with the majority of its funds.

Sure 2k5 has some flaws in pass coverage, but the risk/reward, at the end of the day, makes more sense than in Madden. And while I think you can get too wrapped up in making a "simulation" (as opposed to just enjoying a "fun" game), there's nothing fun about gameplay broken by mindless and arbitrary INT's and fumbles, as was last year's Madden.

I don't prefer NFL 2k5 over Madden because I want to, I would much rather be playing a state-of-the-art HD videogame that all my friends are playing. But if said game SUCKS, then forget it, I'm playing 2k5 for $1.99!!!

its not possible to put an xbox1 gamesave on a 360 memory card.

this is why ppl are spending money on transfer kits/xports & starting thread after thread on how to get the files moved... before it's asked again, there are many threads detailing this on the first page of the forum. or you could search
