Part two continues in this 8 part series covering what many and I mean MANY people found to be the staple ground of future football games.

What can we learn?: Presentation

The first part of presentation that will be addresas shown in NFL 2k5 has become pretty much untouchable with its powerful close to real life broadcast. Not that much snazz but yet inside and outside shots and camera work which made NFL 2K5 presentation such as the introductions leave an impact on fans to this very day.

not that much not too little just enough to get the point across and make an average sports gamer walk away with satisfaction.

Even during the football was wrap ups (something else that has not been tried since.)

The next factor of Presentation that we can walk away with is Postgame. Not just a menu that pops up but rather a sense of victory and excitement

walking away players interaction and even though the feel of a game is a game but yet knowing that there was some touch of realism.Even with post game interviews which is something that has yet to be challenged or done ever again

The next one that is bigger than anything and pretty much another factor that to this day have fans crying out again is playoff presentation.With atmosphere being the next entry in this 4 part series playoff presentation will be covered here.NFL 2k5 was big on announcing playoff winners and showing winners of championship games. Even enlarging the very consequences of losing and winning.

Superbowl Introductions were a strength that again many gamers 5 years later still remembers and ask and sometimes even demand to this day.

EVEN A halftime show

And to include, if one thought that introductions was important the ending was even more expected in future titles setting the standard.

Superbowl: Postgame and celebration

What can We Learn?
-Presentation is important in sporting game.
-some times less is more, meaning real life presentation angles and sometimes taking just a small step lives a big imprint

What did we miss?
-not that much due to the consoles power on celebrations and such many people on the field could not be done but what was done was amazing and again set the tone.

Up Next? Part 3 of an 8 part series covering yet another major part of NFL 2k5 which is playoff atmosphere.

Man that makes me sad... it really shows how far EA has to go. Look at NCAA FOOTBALL 09... it has the stadium shots like 2K but after that.... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! Stop promoting yourself EA and use the ESPN license!!!!!!
