Madden 2005

I know that this type of discussion is typically reserved for the Parking Lot Forum, but I think Madden 2005’s release warrants an exception to the rule.

If anyone else has the game, it’s great huh? For those of you that do not have the game……go get it. The improvements that I noticed last night were:

1. You can change a player’s position on a team. I converted LB Jonathan Vilma from MLB to OLB and his rating went from 81 to 88 immediately.
2. You are not required to carry as many players on your roster (i.e. you only need 2 QBs now, instead of 3).
3. The players seem more agile (they seem to lean to the side if you are making a hard break to either side).
4. The players look more realistic (even if looks aren’t as important as the “technical details.”)
5. The franchise mode is more detailed (you have to contend with player morale, newspaper articles and emails detail what’s going on in the locker room etc.)
6. The game is more difficult (I’m no longer winning every game by 4-5 TDs on All-Pro and 1-2 TDs on All-Madden)
7. The hits are bigger (it’s always fun to knock someone upside-down).
8. I’m sure there is a lot more but I’ve only played it for about 4 hours.

The only thing that sucks is that it is going to take me a long time to create all the formations and plays I had on Madden 2004.
