All because it sped up the handoff animation (where is a random bobble or fumble animation ) and he proceeded to run the ball on every play. That really illustrated how "advanced" schematically Madden has become over the last 18 years.

They can’t even accurately simulate an NFL rule set.

That assertion has been made before and it’s still weak.

Gameplay. In my opinion 2k8 has some of the best gameplay of any football title but this is not going to be a simulation. If you’re expecting a perfect representation of Sundays you’re in for disappointment but I still think 2ks games have offered much better player movement and physics than other sports games. Especially madden from the past 10 plus years.

2k8 was the best but was doomed because of a lack of real current players. I've played the game with updated rosters but most people don't have the patience to bother doing that. Madden still can't beat it. My opinion.

It depends on your priorities and gaming desires. For me, 2k8 was doomed by the absence of a franchise/career mode. I would have been fine with no real players, past or present, but I am spoiled these days - I need a franchise/career mode.

Yup, that was a killer for me.

I've also mentioned it far too many times, but the overall presentation was also way too cheesy for me, and the 2K theme didn't gel well and replace ESPN in a nice way.

Plus, I had come from the PS3 version which had probably 30 FPS, aliasing, and no vibration in the controller (it launched before the DS3 released). The 360 version paled in comparison. I know there is RPCS3 now, but what they are doing with NFL 2K3 trumps that in my opinion.

I guess my question is why do you care if people still like 2k5?

I did not expect to find a thread criticizing a football game that came out a few months before my 9th grade year of HS.
