Best System for NFL 2K5

Hey guys, Im gonna buy the NFL 2K5 game but I dont know which system to buy it for. I have a X-box, a 360, and a PS3.
Also, I want to update the game, roster and all. Which is the easiest to do this? And which has the best graphics? Thanks for any help guys!

Even as a long-time PS2 user, the answer in this case is clear - it's the XBOX version. Several reasons (and there are more besides this):

- The PS2 version lacks the half/postgame highlights (they're replaced by stills), even when played on a PS3.

- The XBOX version was patched at one point I believe, fixing a bug where a clipping penalty resulted in a massive loss of yards in the HB's stats. The PS2 version was never patched (impossible without a hard drive)

- Finn's editor can only open and read PS3 2k5 files, but not save them. This is because they are digitally signed, and Finn has to work around that before files can be saved. This makes getting roster files to PS3 very difficult, although there are some of us () who can convert PS2 roster and franchise files into PS3 files with a special tool. All that said, the XBOX rosters will be much easier to find and use.

I love my PS2 version since I never had an XBOX, but I'm not going to fanboy it up and say the two are the same, because they clearly are not. If you have a choice, definitely go for the XBOX version.

I'm pretty sure Xbox360 would be the easiest way to go if you're deciding between that and PS3...not too sure about the original Xbox though. Xbox has the better the graphics over Playstation and as someone who has played the game for both PS2 and Xbox360, I would recommend the Xbox version as it is the easiest to customize and it plays a lot smoother.

Eas of use and graphics - original Xbox. 360 offers minimal. if any, graphical improvement and getting rosters to/from is a pain. Orig Xbox is the way to go.

Re: Best System for NFL 2K5

Thanks for the help guys! I hope I can find one! But im not clear on one thing. Is there a XBOX version and a 360 version? If so, get the XBOX version? And what rosters are good? Will I need a cable or something? And which system is the easiest to get the rosters on? Thanks again.

There is only an XBOX version, which runs on the 360 aswell.
