Moving back to an old Madden game..

[IgneousMold]

Had enough, my imagination can't make franchise fun anymore. I really want 05! Is it better on ps2 or xbox 1??

Also considering 08 on pc(i have wired 360 controller) but it never really appealed to me for some reason.

Any opinions?? and does anybody know if you can find roster updates for 05 anywhere?

I want morale and tony bruno radio show back!


cheers

Xbox 1 of course, better graphics. Far as rosters nope, you will have to do that yourself. I am sure you can find that game for like 99 cents at gamestop.

Play Madden 11 on PS2. Franchise is a lot better. But if you want rosters get 08.

I played Madden 08 on my PS2 until about last April. Thought that was a fantastic game. Never played 05, starting to wish I had, though, based on what people say about it.

If you want to put a little extra effort into getting the gameplay and sim stats solid, I'd go with 05 and use these adjustments:

Its pretty sad when video gamers are reverting back to play a game from 5 years ago, because the current games just aren't cutting it. I dont blame you one bit. Being almost 52 years old, im done with the subpar football games that EA is putting out, and I have reverted back to playing tabletop football board games. Im enjoying the realism, and realistic stats that i see in these games.

Hey...nice to see another fellow "old guy" that gets into sim sports gaming!

Though the time consuming "workarounds" only get these titles to 90-95 percent, I'm still a sucka for the visuals and some "button mashing"...

Grew up on Strat O Matic titles and fully understand how satisfying text based sims can be as well...

Take a look at that "Manifesto" link I posted...

A copy of 05 is prob pretty cheap, and it's worth it (IMHO) to see how effective the right workarounds with the right level of user friendly options can be...

Happy gaming!
