Players get beat in 2k5 though, they dont play much better than a real OT who wont get beat by the first move every time.
The game has to deal with the animation is has. Some of you people act like you expect the DE to pull a firemans carry on the punter to get the sack, or just throw him into the QB. Naturally neither of those are going to be things either game can replicate.
While its clearly unacceptable in either game, I find it much less acceptable in next gen gaming, in a game that claims its detailed (50 cat.) ratings system being what makes it so realistic.
