Is this a joke? That's arguably one of the best football games of all time.

Going back to the Commodore 64, it has to be Micro League Baseball. I had print outs of every box score and played a full 162 games according to the Mets actual schedule that season! Did the same the following season with the A's and Micro League Baseball 2. No game has ever held my attention like those.

All that said, there were horrible visuals and no way to keep season stats. Didn't seem to matter to me LOL

NFL 2K for Dreamcast was amazing when it was first released in 1999. The gameplay, graphics, commentary and atmosphere were all 10x better than any other football game on the market, and there were lots of choices back then (Madden, Fever, GameDay, QB Club).

Yea I was just saying that maybe that's why the other guy that was his pick for this topic. I don't actually know lol. 2k5 was the only 2k football I played and agree that was great and ahead of it's time. I can't comment on the first 2k, never played it tho. Now I see I'm contradicting myself so I will shutup now lol.

I hated 2k for dreamcast. I realize that's not the popular opinion but it's my opinion. It was next to impossible to run and that stupid dreamcast virtual memory thing to call plays on was ********. Back then I was all about Madden though so.....just saying for me considering 2k cost my girlfriend over $300 when all said and done and that I really didn't like it makes it my white elephant.

The thing about 2k5 for me was that now when I look back I'm amazed how great it was and that it really was ahead of it's time in many ways. But when I think back, at the time, I liked Madden better.
