Wow, I had completely forgot about that. If 2k comes out with an NCAA football game, I'll be first in line. It would be funny to watch EA's game get pawned in it's first year out lol.

I say we raise FDR from the grave to end these evil Monopolies. Competition is good for the consumer and keeps the business's honest.

I bought 2k5. It was a pretty good game I thought. Presentation was great. Gameplay did NOT even compare to Madden then, and doesn't now. Don't get me wrong, past couple of years Madden's gameplay hasn't exactly been what it should be, but still better than 2k5. It is not as great as you all make it out to be. I am not an EA supportor (I LOVE NBA 2K). But, who's to say that 2K would have made a better 2k6, 2k7, etc. Although their basketball series is top notch, to further my case I present to you.... MLB 2K9 . But you never hear that one brought up in these "if only EA didn't have NFL exclusive liscensing...." arguements. This is just my opinion though. Let the execution begin.....

Back then I prefered Madded too but that was due to a better button setup and smoother game play. But then I realized 2k5 is more realistic and then i got used to its controls. Then I highly preferred 2k5 over Madden last gen especially this gen. This gen in Madden they run like robots....thats not fun and ruins the gameplay. People prefer Madden because its what most people know and the controls are familiar. Its not more realistic

the only real thing i think that 2k didn't do is momentum as far as directions and that sort but EA just put it in their games in 09 so 2k would've done it in 2k6 but this game is saving me $60 or a crappy christmas present each year...so im happy

Agreed. I preferred Madden for years just based on familiarity of the controls. Once I realized how stale it had become on last gen and poor 08 was on the PS3, I finally caved in and picked up 2K5 on the Xbox. 2K5 obviously has it flaws (no game is close to "perfect"), but it still plays better and is more realistic. The game does a very good job of replicating an actual NFL game. Plus, great people like Puja and gr18 keep the game alive with their amazing roster files.

NFL 2K5 ($5) + Xport ($50) = Years of great football gaming
