First person football in NFL 2K5

Legit the greatest football game ever, the Sportscenter feature alone was so far ahead of its time. You could watch highlights from the whole week during franchise mode, even the games you simulate still had highlights from them.

[@wndrsoul]

So ahead of its time that EA went backwards after their deal with the nfl.

[@calebc4077]

Hold R1/RB if you want to scramble, and when you hike the ball don't pull the stick back immediately. Let the QB do the full stepback animation, it increases the throws accuracy.

[@carsoncottrell4435]

[@TheLoos3Goos33]

I'll always remember this game. It defined what a good football game should be to me. I remember having played the game for more than a year I decided to make the game harder on myself by playing with the Cowboys and using one of their low overall backups named Drew Henson. Imagine my surprise when the announcers actually had lines about Drew Henson's college career at Michigan as a dual sport Football/Baseball athlete. This game set my standard for football games so high.

[@justAman548]

All of the 05 games were unrivaled. They are the best, quite possibly ever. The huge thing holding them back was the graphics/visuals. In my opinion 05 up until 07 MAYBE 08 were the peak of sports games

[@raggamuffin2682]

It's so crazy that if the first person mode was played in VR, it would easily be the best football game on that platform. A game from 15 years ago...

I cannot say how much I loved this game on Xbox because of the custom stadium music you could load on the hard drive.
