NFL 2k5 vs Madden 12 opinion.

[ngreatshark]

Hi guys. I recently downloaded the Madden 12 demo to try the game out before going to the store and buying it this year, hoping that finally this years edition of the game would win me over and finally be the Madden game that would make me retire NFL 2k5. And I have to admitt, after a couple play throughs I was impressed with Madden 12 and felt like It was solid enough for me to spend 60 buck on. Last night I decided to pop in NFL 2k5 1 more time and play the preaseason matchup between the Seahawks and the Raiders, and I made a veiw observations that brought down my enthusiasm for the new Madden. This video highlights one specific play which I feel demonstrates how good of a game NFL 2k5 is and why I feel that even 7 years later Madden still has not reached the level of gameplay found in this game

2k5 still has better gameplay. Madden just has prettier graphics.

I was craving a football game this year even though I'm not a major fan of the sport. So I tried the madden demo, graphics were great but did I really want to spend 60 bucks on this game?

So I head to the flea market today, got 2K5 for 50 cents. lol. Popped the game in and loved the first game I played. To be honest, I really don't mind the graphics but the game just felt so much better than madden for me.

I already transferred some rosters from nfl2k5rosters over to my 360. This will for sure be the game for me this year. I love it. Paying 50 cents for a way better game of football or 60 bucks for graphics. I'll take the gameplay thanks!

Played the demo yesterday. Not enough to give much of an opinion. It reminds me of what I said last year: "It sure is pretty."

I played several games of the demo and was planning on purchasing it because I do every year, but after reading about the game I decided not to waste my time.

2k5 is still better then Madden and will continue to be for this console generation. I don't think the engine is going to change at this point.

My other reason for not buying it is because once NBA 2k12 comes out that will be getting 95% of my game time.

Im a little slow responding here but I think you will like this

I have all four games NFL 2k5, NCAA 12, and Madden 12, and Madden 08 on the PC. There are things I like about 4 game and sometimes deciding which to play is hard.

The problem I have with Madden v. 2K5 is the same problem I have with The Show vs. MVP ... the feel of the player movement flow. We should not be talking about comparing games now 7 years apart as being even close to having them in the same conversation.... any yet we do.

And this thread shouldn't be in the 2K5 sub-forum, but in the general forum.

What systems were you comparing it with. NFL 2k5 for xbox actually has really great graphics. For the playstation they are decent, also for Madden 12 which system did you play the demo on?
