I stumbled across this tonight, now i know every loves 2k5 but i never played it and i think this is amazing, if madden can play like this and have better graphics with a great franchise mode like Head Coach this game ill be a game that i dont turn off.

So heres hoping madden 10 looks like this

It is 2K5 with updated rosters. Some people call it 2K9. There is another video i think that has a 2K10 cover with Matt Ryan on it.

btw the Trick play they had in there was awesome.

Glad it looks great. Too bad the gameplay is shit.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

 

[Prodigal Son]

What, we can dream that we get a 5 year old game with updated Rosters?

I believe EA has already been doing that.

ESPN has great presentation, that'd be nice in madden, but gameplay>>>>>>> bells and whistles.

 

[JOHNNYTHECLOWN]

they give their bells and whistles cool names

I dont get why everyone is still on in love with 2k5 I thought it was terrible

I did too. I bought ti cause everyone said it was amazing but other then the Sportscenter Top 10 I hated the game

 

[Kia Kaha]

i never played it but the gameplay looks great and in o line - d line ineraction looks amazing

I mean look at the bill player try to get to brady and look at the bengal sping away from the lineman, it looks great, hopefully madden has this sort of interaction between the o line and d line

 

[Kia Kaha]

ah yes that would have been a better word lol

I've said it a million times... if the game was so good, why did people spend $40 more on Madden 05? If 2k5 had any online community whatsoever, people would've found every glitch in that game and exposed it to the world the same way everyone rips Madden to shit after 3 months. I would bet you money right now if you bought Madden 2010 and NEVER played a game online or read something about how shitty "this and that" is, you would think it's the greatest football game ever too. Mark my words.

I didn't like 2k5's gameplay for the longest time, but when I actually sat down and got to know the game it's intricacies really came out. NFL 2k5 is still be best football game ever made, unfortunately.

Of course, that all depends on how well the final few weeks go with Madden 10. It's getting there.

Because its Madden. The madden community is huge which is what killed the 2k series. Madden had already built a steady fan base and usually if you grew up playing Madden then you would play madden. And i agree with you that if it had the same community size it would be ripped to shreds like Madden. But with all games nothing is going to be perfect, there will always be glitches. The reason 2k5 was claimed as the best is because IMO it was at its time. I mean it had everything Madden fans have been asking for years now. It had good animations(ex. 3 player tackle, madden just adapted 2 people tackling in 08),great presentation(halftime shows with highlights and commentary,weekly recaps, all of this has not even been touched in madden yet) and the graphics looked great for an Xbox game.

So what im trying to say is the reason NFL 2k5 was so great and many people still have a great joy playing it is because it offered us what we have wanted for years and they made it seem like this is how a football game should be.

" I would bet you money right now if you bought Madden 2010 and NEVER played a game online or read something about how shitty "this and that" is, you would think it's the greatest football game ever too. Mark my words."

Now i dont want to sound rude but of course it fucking would. I mean you would have nothing to compare the game to, nobodies opinions except your own. The only thing you can compare it to would be 09 and of course its better than that. But is being slightly better than shit really that much better? It would be the best football game ever because your only comparing it to something slightly worse. But that doesnt mean it is a good game.

ESPN 2k5 benefits greatly from revisionist history and Madden sucking so bad. If you don't believe me go play All Pro Football.

 

[Aso]

I still haven't gotten around to getting updated rosters. I will though and i can't wait to do it. Plus on ESPN NFL 2K5 getting those updated rosters you can actually get accurate historic rosters which i would love to have. Past Gens Historic rosters sucked major ass and Next Gen doesn't have Historic Rosters.

 

[Saluki]

LMAO irish, 2k5 DOES NOT have everything madden fans have been asking for, it does have alot better player animations for tackling/catching ect, but the defenders are still dumb as shit, and the AI is way more easily abused with a quick audible in 2k5 than in madden, if u play man in 2k5 there are audibles u can call where the CB won't even follow the WR

 

[Aso]

I always get frustrated in NFL 2K5 when the cpu runs a hitch, the defenders just watch him catch it instead of trying to jump the route. Also the man and zone coverage needs help.


But can't the updated rosters fix that to an extent?

Are you stupid? Madden could put out the single worst title in the history of sports video games and it will sell more than anything 2k puts out. EA = Kings of Advertising/Building Hype for their product.

FYI, 2K has a decent online community. There are a lot of guys at OperationSports who do roster updates and play in leagues.

It has DIFFERENT gameplay. I'm 99% sure anyone who really thinks Madden's gameplay is better is only saying that because they've been playing Madden for years and it's awkward to switch to something so different. 2k5 did the little things in football right which Madden continuously overlooks.

 

[adembroski]

I keep hearing that 2k did the little things better. What exactly are those?

Everything.
