This is truly the best football game out there today. I wrote a review for NFL 2K5 which is another great title but this is better. This game has the best graphics for a football game to date. It also has some very nice touches. It has wonderful commentery and lots of stuff that makes the franchise mode a really cool experience. It has a nice online mode also. One of the coolest things to this game is the all new system that you can make your crowd cheer for you makeing a advantage for you. So homefield advantage does help. This game is definitly better then Madden 2005 from what I heard. Personally I rather pay 20 bucks for NFL 2K5 but if you have $50.00 do your self a favor and get this game instead of Madden 2005.
