"The older games are just better." I say this all the time. ✊🏾

[@ryanhack5]

What you're trying to say is, these older games were more engaging and felt like a Sunday night football. Madden 06 madden 10 & 12 are the last fun generation

Crazy how that game is still better than a madden game made almost 2 decades later

[@Retro_Gamer_Since_The_90s]

I still play NFL 2K5 on my PlayStation 2. It's still to me the greatest football game ever made 2K2, 2K3 & 2K4 are also amazing. You can't forget about All Pro Football 2K8 on PS3. That game has the best physics of any football game.

[@jmgonzales7701]

yes but graphics suck

[@Retro_Gamer_Since_The_90s]

@jmgonzales7701 To us real OG gamers it's about gameplay over graphics young buck. Stick with your $70 Madden same copy-and-paste game year after year. The gameplay and graphics still are amazing 20 years later and will always be better than Madden...

What a great game. I am stunned how good that looks. Much better than the soccer or basketball games of that time.

[@johnnysmokes9145]

Those were the days I had so much fun playing online 2k5 made EA run for the hills 2k5 was the best I will never forget that game

[@coinsbysean]

I just read that they have roster updates for the game online which is nuts but they sell the compatible UsB on ebay for it

[@courtlandwilliams2275]

This game had unbelievable depth. Unbelievable

[@Weneedaplague]

Most sane move for a Madden player to make

[@xpCarlo36]

Welcome back to the light, friend.

[@texsion]

Haven’t bought a madden since 2018 and looks like I still have not missed a thing 😭 every madden and college football game that had a 0# in it was instantly goated and it’s not even nostalgic they are just better

[@coinsbysean]

so true

[@SKILLZGAMING5]

Remember buying the college basketball and NBa as well for 20 dollars

[@jmgonzales7701]

i just dislike college game

[@jakeg5536]

Still have my original copy I bought for 19.99. I chose this over Madden 05

[@genosciacca1816]

The new NFL games have no good hitting, no dominating defense, and though the graphics are great the physics and movements feel perverse. 2k5 just looks symmetrical, and is square. It just moves right and is why I just bought it today.

[@jj007104]

Sadly 2k5 is still the best football game out. I stopped buying football games after Madden 08 I think. I’m still wondering if I’ll ever see a 2k football game again. The coolest thing about the 2k series was the one that came out on Dreamcast, you can pick your plays from your controller’s little display so no chance of your opponent guessing what you picked

[@yaknow5252]

WRONG!!! All pro football 2K8 is the best football sim game ever!

[@Vibin_fishingyt]

I remember playing Madden 08 and spending days rebuilding rosters stadiums setting prices for food drinks everything back then was better

[@HT-sm9dm]

Why?

[@toucanman]

you can still do that now

[@northenlightsss]

​@toucanman not the same with trash ass madden

[@trevorstewart7133]

I also returned to playing nfl2k5 with the amazing nfl2k24 mod. This game is a million times better than any madden game and its 20 years old. EA is a joke. Same boring crap every year and little to know improvements. But keep buying mut packs and $80 a year for a roster update lol.

[@jmarie1202]

Keep up the amazing work my brother 🌹🤟🏿🙏🏿💯🙏🏿

I still play madden 25 on ps3 cause these new copy and paste madden with very little creativity is so boring 😢

Bro u said it, older games are money.... New games today suck. Better systems n crap games... old school madden 02 to 05 was great. 2k is great too.. retro games r best thing going. Of they could be 4k quality we be good

[@coinsbysean]

I agree you can either go Emulator to get 4k or hdmi and mod the console which im pretty sure can be set to 1080i but its expensive im looking into the mod

[@mikestacks2431]

@coinsbysean I love old school madden. So sim. Gameplay is great.love kick meter . Today's games are about buying packs n getting old players.. it's a shame how clunky new games are

[@nukepineisland]

I still play 2k5 and Madden 08 on the OG XBOX, and I'm building a PC just to play modded and updated versions of those games. The NFL is literally stepping over dollars to pick up pennies by letting EA have the exclusive license. The franchise modes of those two games in their prime not only taught me football at a young age but also made a lifelong fan out of me. Madden has been broke since the 360/ps3 generation and it's obnoxious that I have to play games over a decade old to get decent video game football. Do better NFL , do better.

[@johnfoster2584]

I agree about 2k5.

[@SportsPlug-cp1eq]

How do you setup your game settings? Because off rip 2k5 will leave you playing 14-10 games all season with low yard totals. You have to tinker with sliders and play at least 10 min quarters imo..

[@yaknow5252]

Why is no one pointing the finger at the NFL for this bulls_hit! Am I the only one! It's there product EA is simulating, and Im pretty damn sure the NFL has a ton of say so over the game.

[@xlargetophat]

Smart lad

[@antrinh5525]

is there any way to play this game on the xbox series x???? i have this game and the original xbox but i really want to play it on the current gen xbox.

[@coinsbysean]

there is a mod you're able to play the PS2 through some form of emulator on the series but it was a little too difficult for me so I didn't end up doing it but its out there

[@henryalexander2943]

Yes, we do need competition. EA Sports hasn’t improved Madden’s Gameplay with any significance. I’m getting ready to buy an Xbox and play NFL 2K5 again myself smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@trayisraw]

Everyone would be happy if they would simply do a remaster of 2k5 or any other older sports title and made it avaliable on current consoles but if you want to play quality games you have to buy a retro console which honestly is not that much more of a rip off then what ea sports is doing tbh

@trapaneezus right offensive game play if flawless though I was disappointed in the lack of control on defense

@@oaklandtraphouse Yeah 2K5 is one of the few games that really nail offense especially passing the ball. However defense is miserable plus the playbooks are too basic
