I played Madden 2005 for about an hour and felt like I was playing Madden 2004. The only changes made to the game were the new owner modes, minigames, play moral, etc. Game play was bad. When players are running around after the play, they look like ballerinas. All the players move together. Graphics could have been a lot better. Players backs are too big, and hand movements are just plain bad. Players features are just way to boxy. Rent the game and save your money.....Another guy who fell for the hype.
