Very few upgrades? What about these?
-Defensive hot routes and defensive playmaker
-Improved AI (As the review says, "2005's AI is by far the slickest, smartest AI of any football game ever put to polygons, period, and the main reason why Madden is once again the single most dominant force in sports video games.")
-The hit stick
-Change your offensive formation at the line
-Black routes, or QB containment on defense, and orange routes, or option routes on offense
-Completely revamped draft
-Computer initiated trading (during the draft too)
-Player morale that effects your ability to re-sign guys
-Player ratings change throughout the season
These are just a few, I'm not sure what you mean when you say few upgrades. The IGN review is chuck full of new stuff for '05.
