The fact that espn 2K 5 even has the ability to be comparable to a next gen game is laughable on EA’s part. How are you the only game licensed to make an NFL game but a game made 17 years ago is still considered to be able to run with you.
The fact that in 2k5 I could have DMX "X gone give it to ya" from my personal playlist on my Xbox playing when my team entered the stadium was next gen and first person football was nuts
Facts... Every time I scored a touchdown, I had One Blood Under Wu start playing... And Faster Blade played every time I got a first.. That shit was dope, no football has ever been better
Playing 2K5 right now so good!! Does everybody remember when the game is so good and they only charge $19 for it an EA was so freaked out they bought the whole rights to the franchise and refused to let anyone else make football games.
I just downloaded Madden '23 on game pass having not played a football game in like 15 years and a few minutes into my first game it hit me: This is the same Madden game I played back in high school and it's still not on par with NFL 2K5!
Gameplay is just so much more satisfying and better more realistic football play, ea just feels too robotic and scripted at times. I remember making one play on 2k and the defense didn’t get set quickly enough, so there was a defender way left having to run all the way to the right side of the field to cover my wr running all the way down the field and the ai fucked up and couldn’t even get a chance to get close to my guy running his route. It’s fun and keeps you on your toes to know anything can happen during any single play.
Madden may look better but ESPN game play is better. For some reason Madden 23 feels like the players have a magnetic pull. For example, I was running the ball and I threw a juke on the OLB and tried to spin on the DB but my player spent half way and suddenly leaned into the DB for a tackle. In ESPN you don't get tackled until the defense make actual contact. The player don't loose balance like in Madden.
Man, the presentation is just awful. Regardless of the gameplay, the immersion factor is zero. Cant see myself playing this. They realy need to upgrade the presentation and immersion big time. Too each is own, but for me i need to be immersed in a game.
The presentation is awesome... What the hell are you talking about!? From the audio, graphics, and cut scenes... It's all put together... Love how people just jump on the bandwagon of negativity and criticism without thinking for themselves... That's you
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind Bro!! Apparently u don’t know nothing about presentation. Look at NBA2K and MLB the Show, in a franchise, what does Madden do too immerse u in it? The Halftime show is copy and paste from 4 years ago. There is no stat comparison, league comparison, individual season emphasis…etc. Nothing. So what Madden got new whips for touchdowns. There is no immersion too this game. If the only thing you care about is gameplay then fine, they have improved on that front. Other than that this game is boring and needs a major overhaul in the immersion factor. Don't let 17 years of the same fool u. Those that have played football games before the exclusive license back in 2005, know what im talking about when it comes too immersion and presentation. Madden is not it currently.
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind true however the real negative truth is how ea sports even managed to control the nflpa with that exclusive sim licensing for that long: monopoly. No fun for game devs and we’re stuck down to the buck and not the brain.
@@Benger2185 That does suck... There should be competition so that EA isn't the only NFL game and people who hate this game can play and try another NFL game... I still have been enjoying Madden 23' though... They really did a great job graphically
Ea just cannot beat nfl2k5. Their game just doesn’t play like sim football..it plays like a boat racing arcade game .!! Hold down the gas pedal and steer . The passing is press a button and watch everything play out . Then when ur back in control. Drive the boat 🚤. Nothing is direct about madden. They have toned it down a lot over the years . But it’s still present . It just doesn’t feel good
The comparisons I make for Madden are against other major video games from today. Compared to 2K basketball and MLB The show Madden 23 is garbage. With that said I did buy the game I am enjoying playing it but it clearly still needs work.
lol @ people trashing 2k5's graphics. it's called 2k5 because it was released back in 2005...obviously there will be a graphics discrepancy. But the gameplay and everything else runs circles around madden.
Madden game play is way better but 2k pregame, postgame even the commentators is much better then Maddens. If you grow up playing Sega games in the 90s you know that Joe Montana football was better and Deion Sanders Prime time football both was made by Sega.
Madden gameplay is not better and everything you said after that sentence is invalidated by that. We can’t take you seriously if you’re going to say things like that.
You have to be literally retarded to not see that madden is just a branch animation piece of trash compared to the motion captured presentation in 2k. Graphics aside 2k takes a steaming dump on madden. To this day.
if your 11 years old ya. But if your an adult it's quite amazing for it's time. madden for it's time is pathetic. It's not because it's the cool thing to say that. It's because it's honestly a bad game. Kid's need to realize some of these "old heads" actually know what their talking about. It's not bandwagon jumping. It's having had been playing football games for over 20 year's and knowing better. Madden has been dead for over a decade.
It’s so garbage , EA refuse to let the nfl allow 2k to make simulation football 😂 EA is so afraid of visual concepts it’s not even funny .! They have nothing to fear.! The ea sheep will buy madden every years regardless of if the game never change .!
Other then graphics it looks better like it's not animation based there's not glitches every drive it gas way more details and even the franchise is better then now old madden franchise is better tho

3 gen later

Long live 2k5!
I love the crowd reactions and commentary in 2K.
Playing 2K5 right now so good!! Does everybody remember when the game is so good and they only charge $19 for it an EA was so freaked out they bought the whole rights to the franchise and refused to let anyone else make football games.
ain’t no way thts the intro music for madden 💀💀💀sounds like the intro of a youtube channel
I still have my copy of 2K5.
Still looks good even almost *TWENTY YEARS LATER!!* 🤣🤣🤣
It's crazy the game play still holds up 🔥💯
This is insane. Does the NFL really just not give a damn? I mean we’d really like to have a good football game to play.
NFL 2k24 + 4k24 + Madden 08 PC with FFII MODS >> ANYTHING TO EVER EXIST
Never bought a madden game. I own every 2K Football‼‼
Neither did I .... but no one cares what football games you own.

Soulless. That's the best way I can describe it, Madden just feels soulless.
Madden 23 presentation is the same as the last 3 or 4 Madden games damm and still no referees damn scammers lol
NFL2K1-5 & All Pro Football 2K8 Over any Madden any day!!
Madden feels scripted. 2k5 feels genuine. That's the bottom line.
Ea just cannot beat nfl2k5.

Same
2k8 is the superior football game also no challenge sadly ea ruined football gaming forever

It released in 2004

Madden looks like trash
Ea sports should have competition with sega nfl 2k
Only problem for 2k was Stafford and his "excellent mobility"
Lmao he does have “excellent mobility” compared to the guys that played in 2000 lol
biggest issue is 2k5 too easy the ai is awful
Madden is a glitch fest
Wait is this really how the graphics look The graphics look like this game was made back in the 80s
This was the ps2 graphics. It looked much better on the Xbox at that time
It’s almost like it’s from 2004
2k is weet

people like to live in the past, i play 2k its not as good as madden even though madden is bad lol
obviously you know nothing about football.......show me a fade pass in madden. ill wait
@@CallforthePriest ummmmm its called fade, smh
The reality is, the amount of people that say stuff like this is getting fewer and fewer every year. People are no long buying into EA's lies.
Nope. Most people that play this weren’t adults in 2004
@@Bidwellz9you can’t throw the same fade in madden that you can in 2k5. Maybe ask your buddy Clint to make a new animation😂

Fast and erratic… or slow and predicable
