Re: ESPN NFL 2k5 - Early impressions thread
ok here we go...
i fired up a franchise cause i figured yall would want to know about it. Started it with the bears and when i went to play my game, the weekly planning stuff came up. holy [censored], overwhelming to say the least, im glad to say that your regimene is ported over to the next week and you can edit it from there so you dont have to start from scratch. Its really really deep theres a lot you can do with these, will be interesting to mess around with. Anyways as for the game i played the cards in the rain at home. Unis did get progressively dirty but i didnt see anyone absolutely covered in mud or anything, i played 5 minute quarters.
I won 38-6 on pro, just wanted to start off on somethin easy. Broke a few big runs with thomas jones for TDs. The game played pretty well, i broke some maximum tackle tackles by pressing x really fast which was cool.... Charles Tillman got injured with a fracture in his arm i think for 5 weeks. The one girl did talk about the injuries while i was playin, unlike last year. The computer was goin for the TDs when they were down in my redzone instead of field goals when they were down by a bunch, i forget if this was an issue or not last year.
The sportscenter show went through the games and some of the free agent signings. The computer picked up a bunch of free agents right away, which i dont believe happend last year in the first season. It showed the big injuries too, and of coruse Tillman was the main one =/
In the gameplan thing, there is this rehibilitation stuff that can help your players come back faster from injuries i believe so it will be cool to see if it works.
The vip thing gives points for things you do in teh game and you buy stuff in your crib with the points.
I went into the gameplan and tried doubling Bouldin and im not sure if it worked or not... IT never had 2 lines pointing to him.... Using the defensive back hotroutes or whatever they are called though, y ou can make people double a specific WR and that does infact work for sure.
Im probably forgetting some stuff, but ill answer any questions you guys have the best i can...
