2k5 animations are way better than madden 15 and it's sad. Imagine where 2k15 would be. It's 2015 and madden is good for 1 month. Their 400+ Animations claims runs out in the first week lmaoo. Please 2k come back to football!!!!

*sigh*

I still don't understand why they don't start making 2K football again. I couldn't possibly care any less about the NFL license. The ability to edit detail about all players and teams is WAY more important to me. My current football game is Madden 13 for Wii, in which I've used spreadsheets to create completely random players. So yeah, don't care even a little about having real players. And with the ability to edit everything, you can make them if you want.

Still have an original XBOX and still have my 2K5 with classic 80's and 90's rosters. The game is great. Always has been always will be. I do play it from time to time for some nostalgia. Bar none the best presentation ever in a football game.

Bar none.

Not a lot of fact checking done for this. High Score Productions, which was an internal EA studio did NHL 95 and NHL 98, Bill Walsh College Football 95, Madden 95 96 and 97, And early versions of EA's baseball title.

High Score Productions was doing the SEGA Genesis and SEGA CD versions of those games, while Visual Concepts handled the Super Nintendo editions. Back in the early days of EA Sports, there was much less parity between consoles, hence there was one development team assigned to each platform.

High Score Productions' only Super Nintendo games were NHL 96 and Madden 96, both of which they were only doing because EA Sports was swamped with work that year trying to release 16-bit and 32-bit versions of all their sports series at the same time.

This "About the Artists" profile on Visual Concepts is from the Super Nintendo manual of Madden 95:
