i loved playing the madden series untill i tired 2k5. i made a huge mistake in 05' by buying madden 05' and not 2k5. madden has the same damn gameplay every year..nothing about this game changes!. play the madden games from ps1 and then ps2 and you'll see there's no friggin' difference at all. ea just can't make any good realsitic sprots games anymore (even fifa isn't the great game it once was). i always fell into the trap of buying ea sports but not anymore.. ea, you suck!. espn 2k5 is the only football i'll be playing for the next 5 years or untill 2k sprots is able to make an nfl game again. the reviewer below me couldn't be anymore right about ea being a coward. they couldn't take the competition and knew soon enough, madden would end up coming in 2nd place. on a side note.. i hope 2k can create an ncaa football game next year.
