I 100% agree. 2K5 had better presentation, but Madden 05 to me was more fun and had better controls.

Re: Favorite Madden Game

Madden 02 was my first and favorite at the time. It was so fun changing peoples equipment and learning what Madden is all about. I believe Madden 10 will surpass this though.

Re: Favorite Madden Game

None of those games on the list even compare to how awesome Madden 93-99 were.

For the time period, they were amazing. Something completely ground breaking every year.

I think Madden 99 had the first Franchise mode. Seriously. FRANCHISE MODE.

We're not talking Superstar mode. We're talking FRANCHISE.

Superstar mode is a gimmick. Franchise is what Sim football is all about.

Out of the games you listed, all there is in every one is a graphics improvement and a roster update.

You have to give love to the games that got us to where we are today.

Most of the people that play these games today have no idea that we only used to be allowed to make like 10 roster moves before the dreaded 'Trade Memory Full' came up on the screen.

Re: Favorite Madden Game

I think from a pure balanced gameplay aspect, it had to have been 2003. Out of the box, you could pretty much play that game and not tweak anything.

From a Franchise perspective, it's tough to say cuz every one since 2004 has had something very wrong with it that kills the immersion (stamina problems, sub in/sub out, 2000 yard rushers etc.) but I'd still have to say that 08 was the best one on last gen.

None of the current gen Madden's can even be considered in this discussion which is a sad state of affairs. Here's to hoping for a solid Madden 10.

At the very least, think 05 with out all the bugs and 6 is already better. I honestly think that next gen 06 is what makes people forget how much better legacy gen got for 06 and 07. I didn't even make the next gen jump until a few months prior to 09 [April 08]. I think 07 on legacy gen was pretty hot too, but it was more or less a roster update. I think 06 also brought us the truck stick or truck stick 2.0 with player specific moves and animations. Power and elusive.

in short, 04 was good for playmaker, and 05 was good for D, D playmaker, and hit stick. 06 gave us fixes and MANY more options/features and improved franchise with the truck stick. 06 FTW.
THe problem with 06 is that was the first year that the coaching sliders were broken and never fixed. If a coach was 20/80 he ran 20% of the time and passed 80% of the time. If I set his slider to 60/40, he ran 20% of the time and passed 80% of the time.

BTW, the Manifesto fixed the issue with fatigue in 05.
