Hey guys, I just finished playing NFL 2K2, 2K3, and 2K4 back to back for XBOX! Man, its crazy to see how far we have come!! I was going to play the DREAMCAST ones(rest in peace), but I didn't feel like hooking it up. Man 2K2 was just bare bones! The game was so fast and wacky moving! The player models were so tall and lanky! You couldn't tell me that back in the day! haha! It had hardly any kind of presentation punch!
2K3 got better! It is probably what 2K2 should have been! The player models are improved and so are the animations. The ESPN presentation starts to creep into the series, but very subtle. This plays a good game of football! Like I said earlier, this is probably what Visual Concepts wanted 2K2 to be, but they only had 6 months to make 2k2!
2K4 was the real deal like most of you know! VC went all out with this game! Every niddy gritty thing about this game was greatly improved over its prequels! The first thing I noticed was the grass...wow! Then the vastly imroved player models and animations! This blew away 2K2 and 2K3! I now see why VC went with the Madden style box plays! Before the game came out I was kinda upset that they did this, but now I cant go back! The comentary and everything greatly improved! The presentation compared to 2K2 and 2K3 is leagues better! No contest!!!!
Can you guys just imagine that 2K5 will blow the doors off of 2K4 like 2K4 did to 2K2 and 2K3?!!! Boys....Men....My fellow 2Kers....We are in for a treat in a few more days!
All hail Visual Concepts!-Mr. Unstoppable-
