Great Game, better than before [Posted on 2005-01-30]
Madden NFL 2005 is a really good game.I got it this past Christmas and it was the first game i played. I loved it. I played it when i got home from school, and after i had dinner, it is so fun. But as i play it it has a few flaws to it. I have a franchise on it, and i play every game on it. But when there is a call on the field that has to be reviewed. they almost always reverse it. Even if you look at the replay a million times and it shows the opposite of what they say. But sometimes the call is made right, that is when it is so clear that they have to make it right.
Also I make franchises on my game and i have made it to the superbowl 3 times on my game. But every time i made it to the superbowl i always play the Bucs. And i hate it. We need a new team to play in the superbowl. Both my next door neighbors have it. And i talked to one of them and he said that the rams always make it to the superbowl for him.More teams need oppurtunities.
Lastly i hate that you can't create a fan on a created team. So i have my team made up and i made a fan for my favorite team, (who else but the Defending Super bowl Champs, New England Patriots, who will crush Donovan and the eagles come super bowl night.)And i make my team replace the pats so i wouldn't have to beat my own team. And i see fans on the sidelines when i play but, none of them is my fan. I mean if they are gonna do create-a-fan then, they should make it available for each created team. They should make stuff for them to wear that have the generic logos on them. That would make the game better.
Other than that the graphics are great, replay is great, an i love storyline central. Its good stuff for hard core football fans. Those problems are very minor, they don't screw the game up of freeze it or anything, so i STRONGLY suggest that you get this game. It will blow you away. Trust me i play it almost every day!

BETTER THEN I THOUGHT [Posted on 2005-02-06]
It is very fun the best madden game yet. It has alot of plays and is worth my time.I like the way you can earn tokens and buy cards that help your team and that the cheats are very easy to get.It is good if you want a good long game to pal to burn time.For the price it is defnetly worth it.It is the best sports game Ihave played yet.

Madden is the BEST!! [Posted on 2005-02-22]
Madden NFL 2005 is without a doubt the best football game of all time. It has extremely good graphics and it is very interactive. In this game they added a couple of new features such as the "Hit Stick". For Gamecube you push the c-stick downwards and watch the slam-fest begin. Probably 10% of the time you can force a fumble and recover for a touchdown, SWEET. In the remodified franchise mode you can listen to a very annoying radio show by Tony Bruno or just listen to the sound track (go with the sound track). There is all new owner mode in which you can set prices for your tickets. Another coll thing is create a fan mode. You get to create your own fans for the new three-d cut scenes. There is also new practice mode where you can practice certain plays that aren't up to standard when you play your games ( rember this is only in franchise mode)Just as I said above, Madden is the Best!!

GREAT GREAT GAME VERY ADDICTIVE [Posted on 2005-12-23]
This is a great game to play. It's one of the best football games other than madden 2006. I'm glad I got this game, the controls are really easy in this one. I like the new C hit stick use that and get harder hits and tackels. The franchise mode is excellent, the graphics are good and very addictive to play. I play this game almost everynight before I go to bed and catch myself playing for at least 2 to 4 hours straight. It's an awesome game so go get it to add to your madden collection.

More Good Stuff than Bad [Posted on 2006-01-31]
Madden 05 is a great game, but there are still some problems.

GOOD STUFF
1. The graphics are amazing!
2. Al Michaels and John Madden have more(and better) comments on the game.
3. The brand-new "Hit Stick" makes forced fumbles more frequent.
4. The instant replay is much improved and very good.
5. Managing the teams is very easy.
6. The playbook has practically every play.
7. The computer is easy or hard to beat which is good.
8. There are a lot more cheats.
9. John Madden gives good advice.
10. The Player Stats are pretty accurate.

BAD STUFF
1. The refs practically call no penalties, even if you have penalties on full.
2. The players want way too much money.
3. The salary cap is annoying.

This is a good game to buy. It is very good and it is addicting. Pretty good!
