SUMMARY:
This game is overall the best NFL Football game to come out in 2005, and it is only $19.99 while Madden is $49.99. The graphics are extraordinary along with the sounds. Now there are more tackle effects than 2K4. The Rosters are up-to-date and the Team Stats are also. The Franchise is better and more developed than last year's. In the 'Crib', there are more items and more things to do. You can recieve a phone call from a Celebrity, challenging you to a game against their VIP team. And they have Historical Teams and something called 'ESPN 24th Anniversary', where you play historical games, such as when Green Bay played the Cowboys at Lambeau Field when it froze up. And they have in the Franchise Mode, SportsCenter and they have Chris Berman's Halftime and Postgame Shows. And best of all, it's $19 compared to the Madden's $50 price.
I reccommend it, but it's your money.
