allgames' Impressions of Madden 2005

[spin16]

Ah, nice.

Please quit saying beta like there's going to be a HUGE change from that beta to final. The game just isn't going to be that good. I'll give it a try like a do every year though.

Do you have it also?

Didn't think so.

I'm just saying that some people are acting like the game is going to change drastically between the beta and the final build. I said I'm going to give the game a try though, I'm not going to really write it off until I try it.

Unless they took off features from 2004, this game will be at least as good as last years version. Which will probably make it a good game in the opinion of the masses.

I don't know, but the Madden review ended up sounding like an ad for ESPN, and from a guy who's a huge Madden fan. So if he likes ESPN, I'll probably think it's amazing.

Think about it for a second. If you played 04 a lot, and I know I did because I'm currently in 2010, then 90% of everyone's complaints from last year are covered in his second paragraph. And it's good stuff.

I shoulda posted Beta opinions in the title, but now it won't let me edit the original post because too much time has passed. *shrug*

There were a few injuries in the last game we played, nothing much different from what was in last years game, and nothing like how ESPN presents injuries.

Back to the fumbles... In the last game, there were a total of 4 fumbles. 3 coughed up by Dillon, 2 from the hit stick, the third on a regular hit. It was raining pretty heavy in the game (ironically, ESPN's weather effects SUCKED IMO compared to Madden) But the fumbles happend on three consecutive posessions and led to 3 touchdowns so that was kind of annoying. Again, combination of weather, hit stick, and maybe "confidence"?

The sideline (xbox version) had the whole team there this time, but compared to ESPN's sideline it was like church compared to party. There was only one animation from the sideline which was Player X emotionally trying to fire up 4 guys on the bench. This compared to at least a dozen different sideline animations in ESPN.
