Well I just played my first two games of ESPN NFL 2k5. First I played against the Jets and lost 16-13 and then played the Tampa Bay Bucs in week one of my francise and won 10-7. I was of course the Skins' both times.
Now the game itself is good, but not great. The plays themselves somtimes look a little choppy, and then as soon as the play ends, the graphics go to like these amazing images. Overall the graphics themselves I was not too impressed with. Although I felt the same way about madden last year when I first got it, and it grew on me. Somtimes it just takes some getting used too.
The same thing should be said for the gameplay. I just used all the buttons and I would Madden. Somtimes they worked, somtimes they didnt. The game is very lifelike. Meaning that you have to make your reactions fast, and persicse. This game is not very easy to score in, which I absolutley love.
The special "features" are my favorite part of the game. They have the halftime show, with images of your first half. A postgame show, which carries an interview with the player of the game. In addition, at the conclusion of each week, you get ESPN Sportscenter. It gives a rundown of all the games that occured over the week, and highlights of a select couple.
Overall the game was pretty decent. I'm not jumping up and down and going head over heels for it, but it is a soild game. However, its a steal for $19.99. So if you need somthing to hold you over till Madden, this game is well worth it.
Final Rating 7.5/10
