The graphics on NFL 2K5 still looks good to this day. Lord have mercy.

[@DeezyCobain]

the player movement and animations still kill madden

[@robertonocturno4043]

chronoxiong yup💪

[@Coopyfps]

cortezmauricio56 2k actually gave a shit about game modes and gameplay and not just money grab like madden has become. NFL 2k5 was one if not the best NFL game of all time. You can ask soooooo many gamers who play sports game that will agree

[@cokezero1]

100%

Facts.

[@TMK561]

2k had EA shook after NFL 2k5

[@slikdarelic]

exactly!!! talk to em!

[@deem6077]

I wish 2K had beat them to the punch about that license......Or just let it be and compete each year like they do with NBA games.

[@Aroneazy]

That’s why EA had to go and buy an exclusive NFL license 🙄 NFL greedy... that decision ruined football games...

[@seancotter9156]

And the price was killing madden. 19.99

[@Paul-wu7xd]

Yes!, I think we're still wondering where the franchise could've gone, if EA sports didn't own the rights to the NFL license.

Tecmo Super Bowl for one. And for two...no. Tecmo Super Bowl...the advancements it had on video game football are far and away bigger than 2K5 and I LOVE 2K5. TSB is the fuckin' Godfather of this genre.

[@Twigg4075]

They did. It was called All Pro 2K8 and is still awesome. I'm pretty sure EA has the exclusive NFL license.

[@sppsports2449]

NFL 2K5 is one of my favorite video games of all time. I literally played that game all night, creating so many fantasy draft teams. I still own a copy to this day. No football in history can touch it. Although I do like Madden 04 as well.

[@stuckinthe90sThegoldenera]

[@Malkumecks]

I don’t know why it wasn’t mentioned in the video, but at the time NFL2K5 was released, every new game was $49.99 yet NFL2K5 was $19.99. Not only was it the best sports game of all time, but probably the best value in video game history.

[@ghtraining1]

Yep, I picked up both nfl 2k5 and nba 2k5 the same day each for $20. The best deal for new video games to this day!! Smart move by 2k at the time to get people off of the ea boat! Unfortunetely ea went used monopoly tactics to take over the football video game market :/

[@dl30wpb]

@@ghtraining1 Actually EA didn't use monopoly tactics... You should do some research... The NFLPA wanted one company to represent them in a video game so they made them bid for the license... EA was the biggest company and won the bid... I can't stand EA but that is how business works

[@lanceheaps581]

Truth!

[@MattPawlowski]

It's sad what EA and Madden have done. I love playing football games, but Madden is so trash that I haven't bought 1 in 11 years. I'd rather play 2K5, Street, Tecmo Bowl or NCAA over any recent shitty Madden game.

[@pureimpact4658]

CHAMPDOGZ As long as dumb asses keep buying the games for that ultimate team packs and crap, they won't do shit else to fix the franchise. It's all about ultimate team shit or fantasy team shit on here, Fifa, nba 2k and maybe baseball and hockey are next!🤔🙈

[@newnels1634]

First ever game with season mode season stats team stats for season pro bowl Nflpa license team licenses etc etc etc. tecmo revolutionized football games. It was ahead of its time and paved the way for the 2ks and the maddens. 2k5 is a strong number 2, but tecmo is in a class all by itself.

[@skins9089]

NFL 2K with Terrell Owens on the cover was my favorite of all time.

[@peejay9367]

Dreamcast one 1999 best ever

[@gamble777888]

NFL 2k on Dreamcast was jaw dropping when it came out. Compare it to Gameday 98 to get an idea of what sports videogames looked like before 2k. The animation on 2k was something no game on any genre had really pulled off as far as being lifelike at the time.

[@Mac1Camp]

Madden 07 and 05 were the funnest for me. The franchise mode had so much depth compared to now. You were allowed to create stadiums for your franchise, create new uniforms, and rename the team. Thing I miss the most is creating my own plays and use them in game. I still To this day don’t understand why they removed that feature.

[@producedbykhireyakeem4340]

Madden 05 is the best because the soundtrack is insane and they had a way to keep up with your record for games

[@anthonygill4795]

Ur getting me hard with all that sexy talk.

[@dfoster004]

@America not true at all. It depends on the game. Go look at the size of Madden in your systems app manager. Madden is 43 GB. For comparison, NBA2K19 is 70GB. Forza 4 is 59 GB and Gears 4 on my XBONE reads 100GB. It has nothing to do with space. EA is just greedy and lazy af. Think about it. The offline $60 copy of Madden comes with 32 teams, play now mode, franchise mode and Longshot(almost forgot lol). THATS IT!!!!!No historic teams. No All Madden teams. No Mini Camp. No situational setup. No Superstar mode. Meanwhile, 2K19 offline for the same $60 comes with classic teams and all time teams. Which in total is like 80+ teams. Plus you can use any team or players in Myleague. There's Play Now, Blacktop, mycareer, myGM, myleague,. That's for just the $60. But then again, even if you look at the online aspect. 2k has a neighborhood in the game that opens up different mini games while Madden just lets you buy cards and build a team, which should already be in the game.

[@7James77]

I would imagine they got rid of the create play function so as to not be a tool for the real NFL and exploit opponents easier simulating your authentic playbooks.

I just played NFL 2K5 on the PS2 this afternoon. That’s my top pick an go to football game of choice. It still looks good but better than that, it just feels right. No other way to describe it. The ESPN license was used better there than anywhere. My 2nd pick would be NFL Blitz. Too much fun and memories there. The 3rd pick would be the original Tecmo Bowl. I grew up with that one. It wouldn’t leave my NES for months at a time.

[@ronmessico8012]

I still remember to this day. I first played 2K on Dreamcast. It was mind boggling what it offered to the players in terms of graphics, gameplay etc. Far cry from Gameday, Madden, etc. Then 2K5 came out offering it on release day for $20 while Madden was at a full $60 for the game. People bought 2K5 in masses which resulted in EA getting bent out of shape and purchasing the license for the NFL ending 2K forever. FUCK YOU EA!

Madden 05 where you could make your own plays deserved a place on this list. I don't think Tecmo Super Bowl should haven't​ been #1.

[@miguelriverajr639]

I still play NFL 2K5, and NBA 2K5, all nighters with these two were easy.

[@home1261]

Tecmo ain't better then 2k5.

[@ericperez96]

yes it is

[@extreme4623]

Madden 12

[@Spillybob]

Exactly

[@talontd3727]

Last good Madden. Even though it was watered down comparing to some older ones.

[@studiedgaming641]

LXXMD XCVI yeah

[@reliablethreat23]

Every time I see NFL 2K5, I immediately remember that despite how legendary the actual game was, it was only $19.99 at launch!!! It's crazy that possibly the greatest football game ever created was also the cheapest lol!

[@jknumber5138]

I gave my 06 and 07 Madden away because the fans did not have on team colors anymore. Madden NFL 2005 is my favorite football game for ps2{04 comes in 2nd...I love those cheat codes for 04 Madden}

[@brettistoocoolforschool4476]

NFL 2k4 imo is still the best NFL game ever made.

[@cjrush22able]

2k5 is number 1

[@nutzagutz]

I haven’t played 2k5 but I’ve played madden 05 and that was pretty fun

[@dsimpson530]

You forgot to mention that Madden 2005 was $50 and 2k5 was $20 at launch, the icing on the 2k cake

[@westdallasboy4454]

You had me worried for a second... But Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl are the official granddaddies of them all!!!

[@AdamsInc71]

Definitely respect #1 & #2, Personally 2k5 is my all time favorite 🎮

[@DarKKnightt07]

Outside of the nfl football franchise, 2K's All Pro Football was really good, it was just like NFL 2K5 but with legendary pro football players.

[@MattPawlowski]

2K5 is the best football game ever, but I'm ok with Tecmo Bowl being #1. So great for its time. Still fun today. More fun than Madden. And sadly, more realistic.

[@markmajor6306]

NFL street was so fun! Please bring it back on the PSN

[@cheezyisland]

Don’t forget Madden 04 with Mike Vick. That game was so fun to play.

[@mattryan7818]

They should have something similar to MUT for Tecmo Superbowl. Where you could open pack for players and create your own fantasy team to use against other online opponents. This is genius imo, or am I crazy?

[@reliablethreat23]

Madden 04, 05, 06 (PS2), 07 (PS2), 08 (PS2), 09, 10, 11, 12, 13 and ESPN NFL 2K5 are my favorite NFL games of all time.
