Im 35. I was a Madden-purest until that fatefull day: the first time I saw 2K5. I remember how blown away I was at the time. I havent had that same feeling in a football game since then. It really goes to show how important polish and presentation are to sports games. Despite dated graphics, the halftime/postgame/SportsCenter stuff with Berman remains a benchmark for NFL games 5+ years later.

33 and same here. Playing the FPS series was the most fun I've ever had with video game football. We could edit just about anything, whether in-game or via 3rd party freeware. And create all our own plays and playbooks.

35 - APF 2k8 for current gen, 2k5 for all time.

27, Madden 2004-2006 PS2 and NCAA '09 and '10 are all better than this game. Online Dynasty by itself destoys allnext gen Maddens despite the lackluster gameplay and lack of "bells and whistles"
