    Madden 09 or Madden 05 for Original Xbox

    Which game has the better franchise mode? I know that after a certain year, there was a problem with awarness ratings decreasing each year. Has anyone played both these games and that can give me some insight?

      Madden 05 Franchise was nigh to perfect.
      I would say it's nice to meet you but it's not so I don't pretend it is when I greet you.
      Madden 25 NBA2k13 downhill from there

        '05 = working sim engine (better stats)
        '06-beyond = totally busted sim engine (RB's with 500 carries and 2500 yards)

          05 was my favorite madden.
          Probably because it was the first one I played, but I loved the soundtrack. And the franchise mode was awesome.

              Would that also include Madden '09 on the original Xbox?

                2006-2008 are broken, I know that for sure.

                I doubt 2009 is any different as they started on the next-gen versions in 2008. No financial upside to go back to fix deficiencies on out-dated games.

                  I just did a sim on my original xbox madden 09. There were 5 running backs with 2000+ yards, though none over 2500. It's still a busted sim, but other than that it still has good gameplay.

                    Ok, I'll be "that guy". It was because they still had competition...

                      Thanks for clearing that up. I wonder if there's a way to fix that? Either way I just bought myself a copy of '09 and '05. We'll see.

                        I'd get 05-07 for the original XBOX, I do believe the AWR regression bug is in 09. And one way to get around the problem with too many RB carries in 07-09 is to put the second string running back into the first string FB spot. Not perfect but a decent enough work around and has usually given me positive results.

                          I have every madden ever made and madden 09 for the original Xbox is the best.madden 05is
                          good too,but 09 had more to offer overall,not too mention it was the last game ever made for the original Xbox,it's very hard to find.
