Madden has been the leader in football video games ever sinced its inception. For the gamer, this is great, the person who likes to create teams, this is great, and there is no other game anywhere near Madden. It has the best graphics and gameplay of any other game. Each year, EA sports seems to outdo themselves, and the next year thet bring in great new improvements. This year there is the hit stick and defensive subs this year. The playbooks are extensive and very detailed and reflect those of actual NFL playbooks. The owner/francise mode is unbelievable. The salary system is very similar to the NFL with signing bonuses and the salary cap. The draft is realistic with trades and, with NCAA Football 2005, you can bring real college players into the NFL. The free agency system is better again, this year adding on francise tags and players wanting to go to certain teams. The players now have emotion that affect what can happen on your team. EA sports has somehow outdone themselves again and have continued the tradition they started 15 years ago.
I live in Detroit Michigcan and the game supposed to be released on 8/12/04 i got my PS2 and Madden 05 on the same day lucky me. When I played it was joy it was great and now i cant get enough of it. An a improved feature is the HIT STICK. Now despise those others who say its the same its not. I use to hate playin d now i love it. all thanks to the hit stick and the advanced defenseive schemes is brillant(somethin those critcs overlooked). ESPN has a very good game NFL 2K5 very good. Its just Madden 05′ is way better twice as bettr. -daboipusha
I’ve played Madden 2004 a lot and really enjoyed it. I thought to myself, “How can they make this game better?” and didn’t have an answer for myself. But then along comes 2005, and it just blew my socks off. The graphics are more realistic and the playmaker feature lets you change your plays at the line countless ways. I would really suggest picking up a strategy guide along with this if you want to play your friends. And when you do play your friends, pick a GOOD team. I always play with the 49ers, and I always get beat, just because they suck. So even if it means picking your most hated team, it might be worth it when you beat up on your buddy. Along with Madden 05 comes NCAA 05. To fully get the experience of a personalized franchise mode, you should create and play with your guy on the college level first, then import and draft him into Madden. Watch out though, some of these fantasy rookies can be salary cap busters and more than likely, you won’t be able to hold on to them for long along with a descent team. The hit stick can change the momentum of a game in a single play. EA is doing an outstanding job with all of their games.
Madden 2005 is the best football game i have ever played I love the new storyline central and the new hit stick with those agressive defenses this game has great graphics and the players overall ratings are perfect and this game is way better than espn nfl 2k5 even though this game costs way more money I love this game and it is to die for the best game ever!!!!!!!!! p.s. you must either rent or buy this game!!!!!!!!!!!
Works perfect

Now a lot of gamers are wondering, do I buy madden or espn and I have some information to help your decision. Madden in 50$, espn is only 20$. espn can be pretty confusing so you should get the strategy guide (10$. So now espn is 30$. Playing espn online is frustrating because nobody is there to play you. However playing madden online is good there are a lot of people on already and the game just came out. So if you don’t mind paying an extra 20$ for the game with the better gameplay,graphics,realism,online play and other features get this game. But if you dont want to spend that much money espn is still a good game.
With good graphics, it is good to play this and it is awesome.
This game definately has the most realistic gameplay i’ve seen yet. However there are certain plays that you can run and always gain alot of yardage. I have scored well over 100 points on All-Madden mode with just 5 minute quarters.For passing, basically if you have a receiever whose speed and accel are good, you simply run up and out routes (on a diagnal) and throw it and you will almost always get the catch.For running, there are a few plays which you will always gain yards, I have gained well over 400+ rushing yards in a game on all madden. Use rushing plays that go around your front line (but not pitch or swing plays). Sort of like up the middle but around. Then head towards the sideline, and when a person comes to tackle you, you basically let off the acceleration and before coming to a stop, use a juke move to the outside. The juke has little effect if you are running at full speed, but if you are almost stopped, the defender will be thrown way off. This goes the same for kickoffs and punt-returns.Also, a HUGE problem is the ability for the ref to get the call right. Sometimes a play is called incorrect and it won’t even let you challenge. Also, about 30% of the time a play that is challenged will still be ruled incorrectly.Injuries are cool, but if they get a broken jaw, they will walk off the field holding their arm, or something stupid like that. So its not too realistic.Also, the computer running backs have a rediculous way of breaking tackles. All of my.
Yes, another Madden game. The great thing about it is the fact that they added more features and options on top of the previous options and features which made this game a best selling football game for ALONG time. The pre season training modes are very unique and fun to play the mini games, like tackle drills, pass catching, QB practice, scrimmage games between offense and defense, running play practice where you have only one blocker and must attempt to score as many touchdowns as possible while 2 defenders come at you. After you win points on a pre season practice game you may either add the points to that player’s stats, or wager them towards an increased difficulty mini game of the same type and win double points, lose and your out of the origonal points. Very neat and fun twist to Madden. Also very fun to experiment with are the Madden Cards. There are football cards that you can buy with 100 tokens(tokens are obtained by doing special tasks during a game like tackle 3 people with the same defensvie-man) and you get 11 or 12 per pack, each card has special abilities that you can use during a game. Such abilities are “Hands of Glue” which makes catching passes MUCH easier, hardly any are dropped. Certain “hidden” teams can be accessed through possesion of cards, and player cards are very common, but some player cards’ effects only last anywhere from one play to one quarter to one half. some last the whole game. The hidden teams cards are different, you dont need to play.
