2K5 nailed the presentation of real NFL football but it did sacrifice a lot from the gameplay perspective of 2K4. 2K5 was kind of stiff and had a lot of canned animations and 2k4 played smoother and player movement looked more natural. Both games blow Madden away still.

True but when you look back even if you where a teenager to borderline adult age. None of that mattered about 2k5. It was still the type of game that could make a die hard Madden lover drop their series for a season to play 2k. Those things that you mentioned only apply now that we're all much older and can either look back on through memories or KZbin content to compare. Great analysis of why 2k4>2k5 though lol. Say that shit during 2006-09 era and I don't think you make it out of the school yard without emotional damage.

Oh my gosh Soft drink you're gonna bring back a wave of nostalgia for this Aussie fella!!! This game was my introduction to what is the masterpiece of 2K Football and as fate would have it make me a Philadelphia Eagles fan! I started off on NFL Fever 2003 on Xbox and sometime later picked up this game not knowing what I was getting into!.. But wow was it something magical. The player models took me a bit of getting used to, coming from Fever 2003. But the realism was unreal. The replay camera zooming into the holes in players jerseys etc. Man thank you for covering this and all your other videos..

My favorite part of this game? The fact that if you complete specific milestones, you can unlock Sega characters and even some football icons for the free agent pool. You can put Axel from Crazy Taxi and Michael Irvin on the same wide receiver core. LT can be set behind Jeffrey McWild on the defense. Ryo from Shenmue, Kage from Virtua Fighter and Ronnie Lott can become the prototype for the Legion of Boom. It's stuff like this that I miss and it's a shame it wasn't in 2K5.

Due to new branding and where I was in life when ESPN NFL Football, I never was drawn to it when it released. I remember the commercial ads being pretty bizarre and it was the 1st time I really gotten into Madden with Madden 2004. My buddy though Loved this game and I just kinda brushed it off and he was always a GameDay and Madden player. I hadn't realized that it was 2K making the games still. I play so much of NFL 2K through 2K2 on the Dreamcast, but didn't really know what had happened with the franchise as much as I did not yet have an Xbox, PS2, or Gamecube. When ESPN NFL 2K5 released, I had realized what it was, how good it looked, how much enjoyment I had gotten out of some of the really cheesy GameSpot videos, plus the cheap price for this kind of game? Sign me up, Day 1 must buy. I loved it, was it awe and still play it now and love it. So awesome to see the support it gets with community roster updates and the updates that the community has applied to PC for the PS2 version. My buddy though was just not the fan of 2K5 like he was corner box 2K4. Mainly for the reasons stated in the video. To slow and sluggish. I think he liked just being able to turn on a dime, just like how you can in Madden. 2K was evolving for better or worse depending on the player. I love playing both in their own way. You really cannot go wrong. There is something there for someone in one of these games. Gameplay is the most important thing and it will all be in personal preference. Cheers 🍻

That classic 2K play selection screen at 3:13 was actually my favorite feature of the early 2K games. Because the plays were shown to you right on the field, you were able to know how far you needed to go to get a first down or a touchdown. It was one of the main visual aspects that separated 2K from the generic future Madden titles, and I wish that they would have kept that feature.

This is the relationship WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain has with Shut Your Mouth (and even SD!2), it's just accepted that that's the best one, but not enough people who love that game spend enough time with the others to really understand what they did well/better and their unique qualities. Predetermined physicality isn't a sport, but wrestling games are often grouped with sports games in that way: the nuances of each year's version are lost on the general public but there's probably more changes (and pros/cons compared to the next year) than you'd think.

I'm gonna check this one out. I played 2K5 for a while and then later became an avid player of APF 2K8, which made going back to 2K5 near impossible for me. I got to a point where, while I adored the franchise mode, I found the gameplay not to my liking... at all. Interestingly enough, a while back I picked up College Football 2K3 and was pleased with how that game played. The actual gameplay of 2K4 sounds highly appealing to me. Combine that with a slightly less in depth franchise mode (which from what it sounds like the features that 2K4 are missing are features that I won't miss much anyway) and 2K4 is a game I'll pick up. Thanks for the great recommendation SDtv!

Football games used be so good before madden monopoly. Early madden were better because of competition. I owned both 2k4 and 2k5 but I put more time in 2k4. We had nfl blitz and even greater nfl street. Golden age of sport games vs the toilet water of our current era of sports game.

There is a person on You Tube by the name of Quantrell Bishop. He used to have a channel under his old name (EL PRESADOR). On that channel, he did a video about 2K4, saying that it was the best NFL game ever. Also, it's interesting that (at the 5:14 mark) you talked about how 2K5 has more sluggish movement than 2K4. EP also said that. He said that it seemed like they tried to cater to the Madden fanboys.

Didn’t even touch on first person football, which was supposed to be the major selling point of this game. As a safety, I found first person to be severely broken. Either I’d get burned deep cause I’d try and see anything behind the line of scrimmage, or I couldn’t see what was going on with the QB cause I didn’t want to get burned. I do remember, this game freezing all the time on my original Xbox. I remember getting mad and hitting my Xbox and the game unfroze. From then on, if it froze, I’d hit it and it would work lol

The fact that EA went and paid for exclusive rights to the NFL license right after 2K5 made it pretty evident they were terrified of the competition and didn't want to put in the effort in making a game that would top it. It's no coincidence that the quality of the Madden games went down the toilet right after that
