Madden NFL 2005 was a great game. 15 years old, and still a deeper, more polished, and more complete experience than Madden NFL 20. A worthy competitor to ESPN NFL 2K5. #retrospective #SOFTDRINKTV #game #review #sdtv

I was playing 05 last night, I punted the ball inside the five yard line switched to one of my gunners press the jump button and as the punt was going in to the end zone he knocked the ball back on to field and I down it on the five yard line. I was blown away, I didn't even know that was a thing in 05. It still amazes me how good the the madden games where in the mid 2000s.

It’s a nice thought and hope for one day, I dunno maybe in the future EA will lose money on their Madden games and get a reality check from their playerbase that we won’t stand for this garbage EA gives us.

I got a madden 05 story. So I was playing franchise mode and I had drafted a custom qb with maximum stats. We (as you might expect) did really well, year after year. Every year though, my qb threatened to walk. Every year, I gave him a raise to shut him up. Eventually, this one quarterback demanded so much money, that we had nearly the minimum number of players in each position required to play games. No problem though, we winning like crazy. Right up until several players got injured in consecutive games. I had to sign cheap free agents and cut players to pay for them. These cheep free agents kept getting hit hard and injured until eventually the league ran out of replacements, and I soft-locked myself out of franchise mode. All so Wade could have the biggest contract in the NFL by far. This playthrough was like seven years ago, so I might have misremembered some shit, but this is more or less how it happened.

These videos made go re-purchased all these games. Been out of the game for a minute and stopped playing madden after madden 08 due to my career and family/kids, but I’m back at it again. Thanks for the videos. It helped me remember why I spent countless hours playing these game when I was younger lol

@@gfl1312 I actually didn't play 06--I played 07 and 08, both on PS2. But two years ago, I lost my PS2 and all my games to Hurricane Harvey flooding. I've recently started rebuilding my collection, and NCAA 06 will be one of those games, thanks to all I've heard about it. Along with Madden 2005 and 08, and NFL 2K5, of course. Thank you, Soft Drink Sports.

I must admit: I never played Madden NFL 2005 (owned 2K5 as well as both Madden 04 and 06). But everyone said the same thing: it was really EA's last GREAT Football game, and definitely their best NFL game to date.

@Storytimekellan3 Ok. Well that's something you'll have to take up with SDtv instead. Because like I said, I honestly never played Madden NFL 2005, so I really don't have an opinion on it personally. That said, I have played 08, both on the next-gen Xbox360 and PS3 of the time, along with owning a PS2 copy of it. IMO, 08 was good, as it was the last one that didn't go too far with the gimmicks in gameplay while still keeping it simple as a sim when it came to picking up a quick game or two.

I love 2K5, but man this game’s franchise mode is hard to beat. Plus there’s just something about the soundtrack and the Tony Bruno Show that make this game on par with 2K5’s presentation in my opinion

Madden 05 is my favorite Madden of all time. My Dad and I would play years of Franchise. It was basic arcade style play, the more they try to put into Madden the more the experience was watered down for my Dad and I. I have good memories with my Dad that sadly will never be recaptured.
