So, how much longer can you guys milk 2k5?

[Doctoranthony]

This came came out 4 years ago, so how the much longer can you guys milk it? I mean you're doing a good job on the rosters and everything, but pretty soon the graphics are gonna look really outdated and it would be time to move on... but sadly the only game to move onto is Madden ( ..which I will never buy another Madden game ever )... ???

Personally I'm down until too many teams change theyre uniforms which in the next few years will be about 75% of them.....it's killing me as it is to play with the Cardinals but it is what it is...the gameplay is still great

the graphics will only be dated if madden ever actually makes a new engine and stops rehashing a ps2 game

[daflyboys]

Depends....how much milk you got?

Not sure what you're trying to imply here, but Madden IS an entirely new "engine" for the current gen systems. In fact, it's a pretty sharp looking game...at least when it's motionless (lots of little animation bugs and some goofy running as well). That was a big part of their problem in the transition to the newer systems a few years ago. They scrapped and started over, but underestimated the work involved. What's worse is that many feel the gameplay is stronger on the PS2/Xbox versions than the current platforms.

In any case, it's been a mess. That's for sure.

I will milk it until NFL 2Kx comes out. I need real football and Madden does not cut it.

I can probably milk this until Madden makes a decent game. Which could be 2010.

They can go on forever, pretty much.

I would say, though, that I'm done with the game. After playing All-Pro 2k8, I have a hard time going back to 2k5 because it just lacks some of the great gameplay that 2k8 has... And some of the not-so-great things about football - like offsides and false starts. I have a hard time playing 2k5 because of it missing these little things, than in 2k8 really make it feel so much more authentic.

I really wish 2k8 had gone the fully customizable route, it would have been so much better.
