ESPN NFL 2K5 was far better than Madden 2005, and is better than Madden 2006. I'm still playing ESPN 2K5...I think I've paid about 20 cents an hour for it(kind of pathetic, how much I have played this game)

2K5 had some bugs I couldn't get behind.

When you draft a new team, your #1 pick is always the punt returned from the team (if the computer is playing). Having Orlando Pace and Peyton Manning running back punts is silly. In general a lot of the logic on re-drafted teams was trash.

The audio commentary is horrible. I know it sucks on a lot of games, but I can listen to NCAA2005 and it never bugs me, 25K's is just lousy, and the triggers for what they say when makes no sense.

For some reason- these two basic things just made me stop playing the game.

Quick, get him some asterisks!!!!

that'll pwn him far more than a game of madden.

w00000t i knew betting on you was the play. evanator is gonna owe me a drink@!

[David04]

I've never experienced the first bug, but it sounds pretty stupid.

The commentary sucks, and can often be a few plays behind.

The injury report(the commentator's version, not the
"official" reports always piss me off also. Dude gets injured, I hear he has an ankle injury and his return is "probable". Then I look at the real injury report, and see his ankle is broken and he's out for 10 weeks.

[Evan]

Good game. Evan used Stokley and Harrisson well. I incorporated more successful rushing in the second half. I also returned Peyton's only pick for a TD in Q3.

evan owes me a drink! now im coming to vegas for his bday for sure. w000t!

[TheMetetron]

Solier,

Isn't that his 17th birthday coming up?

I'm pretty sure he still can't buy a drink.

good god, 45 points... thats extreme pwnage.

Not sure what you mean... he certainly didn't beat me by 45 points. I was up for most of the first half by 1 or 2 TDs.

Then in the 2nd half, Rice and Taylor were unstoppable. He beat me by about two touchdowns when I started going for it on every 4th down and kicking onsides kicks.

meteoron,

no, despite not being able to ride the roller coasters at six flags, evan will be turning 21 in april.

most homoesxual wishes,
