Re: Question
It feels more real than Madden. I am not a huge sports gamer - I've only played NCAA 07, Madden 06 and 09, and NFL 2k5. And I can say without a doubt that 2k5 is the most believable of the three. With all of the EA games, I feel like I either spank the computer or get killed. If I set the difficulty too low, I break huge runs and make long passes all the time and they can't move it a yard. If it's too high, I get intercepted every other pass attempt and they score every possession.
Playing against the computer in Madden, runs are basically always 1-3 yards, almost never losing yardage and very rarely getting more than 4-5 yards. In 2k5, runs sometimes get stuffed behind the line, usually go between 1-4 yards, and occasionally they go for 20+ yards or even the full length of the field.
When passing in Madden, I can get 9 yards from quick slants 95% of the time. There's no point in going deep because lob passes are always batted away, dropped, or go out of bounds. Bullet passes almost always make it but are only good for short gains. In 2k5, long lob passes work about as often as they do in real life - occasionally but not all the time. I've also noticed that in Madden, my receivers will run out of bounds if they have an out route and there's no point in passing to any receiver with an out route. In 2k5, though, the receivers will stay in bounds and will also drag their feet much more reliably.
What it boils down to is I don't know if I'm going to win or lose a game in the first three minutes in 2k5.
