Madden 2005 had so much stuff...EA just got rid of it all. They literally scrapped everything they did during the PS2/Gamecube era (the peak of football simulation) and redid everything starting with Madden 2006. The models for the game even on the PS5 are still based off of that game 15 years ago. It is pathetic.

This was way back when life was simpler, good, pure, innocent from those years of the 1980's, 1990's to early 2000's era..... Where video games used to be fun they were all about the presentation, gameplay, controls, depth, voice acting, graphics & now fast forward many years later in 2023 to 24, people just don't care & all we do is play. - R.i.p G4tv 4 Gamers (2002-2014) - (let the games begin!!!)

The right trigger mechanic in this game was amazing. Some people forget it exists unless you accidentally do it or you learn from the tutorials like i did. Being able to actually control your pass and lead your reciever was so cool because it was rewarding if you dimed your reciever in stride but a punishment if you don't time your throw right. Really unique mechanic that made this game standout imo
