Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
It is insane that a game released almost 25 years ago still has better gameplay mechanics than a current release. Today's machines are hundreds if not thousands of times more powerful than your standard ps2/OG Xbox when NFL 2k5 came out. I admit that neither is perfect and both have flaws. The difference is one feels much more like a real football game while another feels like an NBA jam version of fooball (madden). Why do people keep supporting a product that clearly they do not really even try to innovate and most of their care goes to their trading card MUT game inside Madden. NFL2k5 presentation also destroy's madden but just the gameplay mechanics here.
Playing the NFL2k3 modded version to madden is like night and day
QB Play: Madden is arcade while NFL2k5 is much more sim like
Madden: Drop back 25 yards and throw it 30 yards downfield no problem. Run at full sprint and SLing a ball across your body 40 yards like it's nothing consistently.
NFL2k5. Just like in real life, motion plays a huge part in the passing game. QB have to step into throws and put real effort into them. If you drop back 20 yards and try to throw it 30 yards downfield the QB has to step into the throw and more often than not the defensive line will be on your ass before that happens. If you try to throw it across your body like in Madden the defense will have time to react and pick the ball off like in most cases. Like in reality if you try to run full sprint and throw a ball most of the time just like in this game it will be off target.
Running Game: Madden's running game is just broken. Outside runs are simply impossible. NFl2k5 also has blocking issues but also the running game works much better. Seeing offensive linemen opening holes and following blocks is just awesome in 2k.
Receviers: In Madden Wr's far too often are able to just jump over a defender and dominant a play. You often see Wr'S in madden open by 10+ yards. Also Wr's in madden can run complex routes in 3 seconds. NFL2k5 is much more intricate. Receivers take time to run routes while often times you are throwing into tight coverage. NFl2k5 does not have receivers open every play like in the madden franchise
Offensive line play: Both have issues. The one downer on madden is the running game is just broken while even averge offensive lines give a QB 6+ seconds to throw the ball. Often times in NFL2k5 if you do not have a good offensive line you have to learn to get the ball out quick.
Defensive line play: In madden dominant defenisve linemen rarely make plays. In NFL2k5 they do. You see dominant defensive linemen dominating average offensiveline in the NFL2k series.
Linebackers: Both have issues with just lack of intelligence. I will say the MLB play and the nickle corner play is much better in NFL25.
We can keep going but it's just insane to me that a current game who makes tons of money, has plenty of suckers buying their mut bs, releases a game that fails to innovate at all every year and people keep buying it.
