Madden 2005
 

I got it last night...what does everyone think???

My GameStop didn't even fucking bother to pick up the games, so I have to wait til tomorrow.

I have to wait till its out on PC :(

Do you know when that is? I was going to get it on PC and PS2

Not sure. I've heard as early as next week, and as late as mid September.

I do not see much difference in it from 04 except the bonus collectors edition stuff...kinda coool playin it in 16 bit

collectors edition stuff? It has the SNES/MD version(s) on there? Which ones? :D

Hot game. Lots of little additions to play with, haven't been through them all. Like the newspapers and all that.

You can practice in franchise, too. omg.

If you had the running of ESPN, this would be the greatest game ever.

What, doesn't it come out Thursday?

Looks hot, but I dunno that it's worth twice the price of ESPN.

Some places release it Tuesday, some other days... Just depends on the store... Ive noticed alot that when a very popular game is coming out, they get it in for Thursday... But the official release for almost every game is Tuesday... Like most movies are released in theaters on Friday...

Anyway... I might be getting this... Last football game for PS2 I bought was NFL2k2... Last actual football game I bought was Madden 04 for GBA...

I got mine Monday afternoon. It seems like I was the only person in the world to get it so early.

:wiggle:

Someone (I think it was Jonster, might have been that "Snake" guy though :o) showed me a cool link from the IGN boards... shows each team's "overall" change from 2004-2005.

LOL @ 49ers

i hope this game is worth buying

I have 2003 is it worth buying 2005 if I have 2003?

who knows

Bought it earlier today..... fucking sweeet

i'll save up my money, if the fuckin footlocker stops givin me little ass amounts im gonna fight the manager ill kick his ass and take some stuff i know the sucerity code

I would think so...does '03 even have create a play?

To be honest, although you don't notice much change every year, if you skip a year and then buy one, it definalty feels like a completly different game

Haha damn, I'm loving the franchise mode. Hot stuffffffff

That radio thing is pretty awesome.

And yeah, 2005 has a LOT of improvements over 2004. I mean the game looks really similar and all, but the defense has a lot of improvements. You can like totally change every player's defensive assignment after you choose your play. Like the "Playmaker" stuff in last year's game, they have that on defense now. That = hot.

they had the playmaker on Defense in 2004 tony :p

Yeah but it wasn't this good :mad:

You could set the corners to give a cushion or play tight, type thing, and stuff like that, but in 2005 you can set each individual player's assignment. Like you can set your linebackers to spread out to break up passes, then manually set your ROLB to play run defense or something. Or you can set a linebacker/safety to cover an individual player. Stuff like that, hot :rant:

yeah, its taking me a bit to get used to the new playmaker system for D. Definitely like player assingments tho. Playing as Giants, put my best cover guy on Moss and shut him down the entire game. Same on annoying draw plays that were getting the computer ridiculous yards. Assigned my MLB to the RB and he took him down every time. Haven't made much use of hitstick tho, since its kind of hard to hit while you're already sprinting and controlling your defensive player.

Yeah the hit stick was hard to get used to at first. Eever since Madden 64 I've had this horrible habit of pressing B [dive tackle] when I got near a player, so it's kind of hard to get used to using the C-stick to tackle. But since I'm such an NHL 2004 junkie it's not that difficult. Hit stick is fun :love:

yeah i do the same thing (diving tackle). Left over from tecmo super bowl maybe i guess? Sometimes it causes alot of fumbles and is handy. Mostly just makes me miss important tackles tho. I've gotten better recently @ using the sprint/shove button instead. Especially with Strahan.

Gained 4 overall points so far this year for Eli Manning in the season. That's one thing I like better this year. Development points for season games.

Yeah I can't wait till I get going in my franchise. I made it last night and did some changes and all, then when I got to training camp my controller died on me so I gave up. :o Gonna do it tonighttttt

Bought madden yesturday and it is sweet.But when a player is disgruntled in franchise and says you an email saying he is disgruntled.It tells you to talk to the coach how do u do that?.Also can u fire a coach in midseason?

hmm.. maybe this means I should take 2004 out of the shrink wrap and start playing it...

Franchise can suck my dick. Every time I finish a game it freezes.

Maybe your PS2 is retarded or your game is scratched.

It didn't do it to any other games and it did do it to two copies of Madden.

It works now though, so I apologize to Franchise mode.

Gonna buy it this week, since Best Buy is running a mad good deal ($20 gift card when you buy it)

I got it a week ago. I like the storyline Central. It is damn sure worth buying.
