why did NFL 2k5 become so popular

[K.Y.R.I.E]

now don't get me wrong i love 2k5 the presentation and gameplay were great but i have a question to ask

it seems to me that the nfl 2k series suddenly blew up when 2k5 dropped for some reason and people dont even talk about the other games.

i mean 2k3 looks exactly like 2k5 and it didn't get nearly as much notoriety as 2k5 did and still gets


so what made 2k5 stand out from the rest of the nfl 2k series?

2k5 came out the gate at 25 bucks while madden was still 60 if I recall...

Man.... to answer that question..... you don’t have enough time in the day to read it man

If we being honest

Because EA brought the exclusive license in gave us complete trash and we realized that NFL 2K5, hell even Madden on PS2 were better.

2k5 came out the gate at 20 bucks while madden was still 50 if I recall...

A up and coming football game with a NFL license that was 20 dollars vs a established franchise that had the same ole shyt with a 49.99 price tag.

One game has a better presentation and a deeper franchise mode, the other a so/so presentation and a typical franchise mode.

One had better controls that would make the most die hard football fan toes curl, the other a more arcadey accessible control scheme that will cause rage within households.

One still getting modded to this very damn day, the other is still dikking it's customers because the demographic are a bunch of morons.

You do the math

Great price, excellent game, everything about it was just beautiful. Which is why they had to mute it.

First football game that really NAILED the gameplay aspect. Running in that game is fun as shyt and really captures the excitement of the running game.

2K5 was before it’s time man and EA used their clout to crush the game..

If 2K has that nfl license EA would have been out of here a long time ago

 

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

game play, the presentation, the cut scenes, the commentary, comic relief, the franchise mode, the crib, man i can go on and on....its the illmatic of football video games....as a big football fan i still pop it in once in awhile nowadays

That shyt was 20 dollars and you got a better product than that bullshyt madden put out that year.

 

[CrimsonTider]

It was better than Madden in every single way

This when 2K started the run of GOAT sports games.

Couldn’t beat the price. Gameplay top notch. First person football was trash but it was there. Presentation was 2nd to none at the time.

EA pulled the sucker move. Hit stick wasn’t enough.

This was the first thing I ever got a chick that liked me to cash out on

It was a really good game from a really good franchise at a really really good price, you can't ask for more.
