My first venture with NFL2k5 was like when Neo stepped outside of the Matrix for the first time, It's like I finally saw what my footbal video game world for what it really was. I remember talking to friends about this NfL2k5 game that was about to be released, asking if it is possible that anybody could make a football game that could rival or even top Madden, and the conversation fell on deaf ears. I'm glad I decided to take a chance on it, and I still tell people it's the best $20 I've ever spent because even till this day 6 1/2 years later I still play this game.
I've tried to go back to Madden NFL on numerous occasions, but I can't because I just can't make excuses for Madden's gameplay elements and the lack of real improvement in pushing the series forward. 2K5 was packed to the gills with so much content, and had so much promise that hadn't been fulfilled ( the Online leagues were awesome, each with their own real time functioning website, so your basically had it's own espnnfl.com, but alot of leagues would never make it past the first season withouth folding) that even after all this time playing I still feel like I haven't gotten everything out of his game that it has to offer. I guess indirectly because of the exclusive licesnse killing the series, it also did one thing for me that I wish other games would do, and that is allow me to take my career statistcs with me in each new incarnation. Because i"m still playing the same game, but downloading new rosters every year, my stats don't go anywhere, and I get to stay current.
I sure hope they open the doors for another football game by visual concepts/ 2k sports.
