Im assuming you’re meaning NCAA Football 14, and i would strongly disagree with that. Yes there are hours and hours of fun to be had in Dynasty and Road to Glory, but the gameplay is nowhere near 2k5. Ball trajectory is way too flat, and linebackers can pick off passes intended 20 yards down field. The Hard Cuts mechanic is fun but too over the top.Also Mascot mode is fun as well, but its still not 2k5
I can’t believe how good 2k4 and 2k5 looked, the way the players moved was so smooth and looked better than current madden. I really hope they get all the details down in the next 2k game.
NFL has a deal with EA when it comes to making football simulation games. that's why all we get now Is Madden and why Madden doesn't try anymore. They have a monopoly on it
@@robertespinoza9104 Sad when EA has exclusive right to make simulation football game but then release arcade game with superhero abilities and unrealistic animations 😓
@@DefundGunControl yeah the franchise was heading in the right direction like 10 years ago..sad how Madden games from over 10 years ago have more in them to do than the current Madden.. 🗑️
2k4 as well, played a whole game with 78 overall Rookie Carson Palmer and he had 360 yards with 6 tds and no ints. Everything other than body shape of the players, collision detection, and graphics are still light years ahead of Madden.... in a 20 year old game.
I remember playing ESPN NFL 2K5 on my original Xbox and I played with my home team. What I did was I intentionally ran the wrong way to see if there's any reaction. It did. The fans were booing loud and the commentary guy was saying these things. He's going the wrong way! Maybe he got hit too hard! Give that guy a compass! Get that controller away the dog! And as soon as I ran out to the own end zone, he said this. He runs out and that's a Safety! It was funny to do that. ESPN NFL 2K5 to this day is still one of the greatest football video games of all time.
Playing on the original Xbox would give u the best performance for 2k4 and 2k5 . The latter games I mentioned had unlockable characters from past sega games and celebrities like David arquette Steve o sega characters like wolf and Jeffery from virtual fighter and axel stone from streets of rage .
I remember being blown away by the graphics when the first game came out. Sure it's hard to see that now but if you were there at that time it looked phenomenal
Man... Loved this Video!!! Blast from the past!!! I didn't pick up Madden till after 2K was out of the market. I was a 2K fanboi back in the day. This was great!!!
The presentation is was really set 2k apart on all their games. Especially with the ESPN presentation... EA has FOX at the time which I love too. I always likes EA's game play and feel better. I believe games went above and beyond for presentation and game features back then because you were limited on gameplay itself. I'll stand by this I don't believe that Madden or any sports game should be year to year anymore. The games are too big to make in one year. That's why their are so many bugs in the game. Great video man. You are definitely an inspiration for my channel.
Fun fact, Aaron Brooks is now coaching and running an AAU basketball team in Richmond, VA. I've worked as an athletic trainer at a tournament he was coaching at. Super chill and cool guy
Look at words you are using while playing these games. You’re enjoying yourself. Your immersed. You’re impressed. Satisfied, quality … I may be wrong but even when doing videos on madden you don’t have this tone or blissful emotion…. That is everything a gamer wants and EA and madden just do not/can not offer it and we have been married to them for 18 years
Espn nfl2k5 is amazing, especially for being made in 2004. I cant even fathom what kind of a game they would be releasing these days if they never got bought out
I was always a 2k fan. I use to hate Madden in comparison. I was mad as hell when I had to switch. The way 2k moved compared to Madden was night and day.
I’m old enough to remember that you had to hold down the A button and let the arrow fill up underneath the ball carrier to execute more powerful moves.. “filling it up all the way and using the bacc trigger buttons would give you a unstoppable shifting side to side!! #TryItOnTheFirstTwo2k’s!
The 2K5 (Mod) is amazing with the updated roster. Madden has alway's been 2nd place to 2K. Even compared to today's Madden game and that say's a lot about Madden.
NFL GameDay on PlayStation 1 was the #1 NFL game for awhile and In terms of gameplay it was the predecessor to all the NFL, NCAA football games we've seen even to the modern day.
If there was a NFL 2K next gen I am convinced it would have signature run animations and throwing and moves with mocap - also real cheerleaders on the sideline
These games offer better controls and simulation than the trash you find today. Yes, today's games look nicer, but the physics and game play are just plain lazy. The customization on the older games were waaaay better than anything you have today. The between the games stuff was fun.
2K was a huge generational leap, but 2K1 fixed the running game. I thought the Dreamcast versions had the best UI. Also 2K was a launch title, so it came out in 1999.
You havent played NFL2K5 if you havent played the Xbox version with 3D wrinkles in jersey,player sweat and ingame custom stadium music from your ripped disc maan yall had to be there
I wonder of the new NFL 2K next year is going to have Ultimate Team and Franchise mode in it. I have played a few of NFL 2k way back. I hope that next year's NFL 2k will be better and soon.
Yesss. I love 2k5 but that’s always bothered me too. When you throw the ball and the players go to catch it or swat it, it’s like the game enters slow motion mode. Def not as smooth as 2k4
See if madden was worth their salt they’d implement all this stuff back into their game. It’s complete garbage in franchise. They need to have a pool of coaches to hire and fire. I’m just over madden
A New NFL 2K Game Is Coming Soon: th-cam.com/video/bbaY7_zwQJY/w-d-xo.html
NFL 2k football had the best commentary ever!!!
You can celebrate before you get into the touchdown
@@marcusmoore3941 most of the time yea they could have updated the commentary but that in the game files somewhere
Joe horn was out
You would have had to play these games when they came out to really appreciate them. These games were top notch for their time. Great memories.
2k 2005 is still the best football game out there no question
@@evanthompson6503 college football REVAMPED holds that crown
@@evanthompson6503 lmao it’s not better than madden 05

That is very debatable. Definitely these are top two. 2k5 with the best gameplay, while M5 with the best franchise mode
I can’t believe how good 2k4 and 2k5 looked, the way the players moved was so smooth and looked better than current madden.
I really hope they get all the details down in the next 2k game.
Yeah, if only they had the license to create another NFL game...

The pain I felt in ‘06 without 2K. Haven’t had an nfl game since
Yo, 2K5 was WILDLY ahead of it’s time. That game is fantastic still today. Love those physics and animations
2k4 as well, played a whole game with 78 overall Rookie Carson Palmer and he had 360 yards with 6 tds and no ints. Everything other than body shape of the players, collision detection, and graphics are still light years ahead of Madden.... in a 20 year old game.
imagine this if it kept going what these games would be like modern day
@@jasonpdsi visual concepts is still in business, they make NBA and WWE 2k
It's always funny when new people experience the 2k football series for the first time. 2k Games from 20 years ago are better than modern day madden.
2k had the best presentation ever
This was the first football game were you could celebrate before scoring a touchdown,best commentary ever!!!!
I remember playing ESPN NFL 2K5 on my original Xbox and I played with my home team. What I did was I intentionally ran the wrong way to see if there's any reaction. It did. The fans were booing loud and the commentary guy was saying these things.
He's going the wrong way!
Maybe he got hit too hard!
Give that guy a compass!
Get that controller away the dog!
And as soon as I ran out to the own end zone, he said this.
He runs out and that's a Safety!
It was funny to do that. ESPN NFL 2K5 to this day is still one of the greatest football video games of all time.
Nfl 2k5 was so good madden went after the exclusive NFL license
And sadly 20 years later they still have a monopoly on the NFL License smh.
EA should be absolutely embarrassed that a 2K title from that long ago still outshines them. SMH!!!!

It really started coming together with 2k3, and then 2k4 and 2k5 were amazing.
20+ years later still looks amazing
2k on dreamcast all day
2k5 still showing up every Madden of the past, at least, 10 years.
Man... Loved this Video!!! Blast from the past!!! I didn't pick up Madden till after 2K was out of the market. I was a 2K fanboi back in the day. This was great!!!
2K FOOTBALL GAMES ALWAYS HIT DIFFERENT

Great video man. You are definitely an inspiration for my channel.
When 2k was initially released... it was a game changer! Literally changed from playing Madden to 2k!
Fun fact, Aaron Brooks is now coaching and running an AAU basketball team in Richmond, VA. I've worked as an athletic trainer at a tournament he was coaching at. Super chill and cool guy

The animations look great even with the sub par graphics. I can feel the momentum/physics
Espn nfl2k5 is amazing, especially for being made in 2004. I cant even fathom what kind of a game they would be releasing these days if they never got bought out
Bro the evolution of games are actually incredible 😅😂
Big W on this video.
you should play a nfl 2k5 resurrected franchise im sure alot of people will watch it game looks great have a cult fanbase and its updated
I was always a 2k fan. I use to hate Madden in comparison. I was mad as hell when I had to switch. The way 2k moved compared to Madden was night and day.
Makes you disappointed in madden
2k3 will always be my favorite. Best presentation. But still kept the look that 2k made for themselves and didn't use madden interface

A lot of people say 2K5 was the best football game ever created. And to combat Madden sales that year, the game was 20 bucks. What a time to be alive.
Also....in 2k5 it would save your gaming style and you can literally play a CPU with your tendencies...Also, Steve-O and a few others
Don't forget that the 2k5 was actually the cheapest football of all time when it came out ,, it was like only 15 dollars for all that,,
The 2K5 (Mod) is amazing with the updated roster. Madden has alway's been 2nd place to 2K. Even compared to today's Madden game and that say's a lot about Madden.
The mobility and the smoothness of these 2K players are still unmatched even with the earlier 2K games.
NFL GameDay on PlayStation 1 was the #1 NFL game for awhile and In terms of gameplay it was the predecessor to all the NFL, NCAA football games we've seen even to the modern day.
Where's 2K All-Pro!?!?!!? It had their best gameplay. Came out in 07-08 or something. That's the one I was waiting for.
It's not an NFL game
Would also love to see a review of all pro 2k8
You brought back so many memories with this vid. My kids don’t know what a real football game is suppose to play like. Surely isn’t Madden.
2k football is goated the real ones know!
The Running and Return game was at his best in 2k4
They need to bring back NFL2K series it's better than Madden
My man Eric if your doing this video I know big news is about to drop soon 🎉🎉🎉
Let's not forget that NFL 2K5 was only $20 on release date! 🤯
We needa all go back and support 2k football
New pet peeve unlocked, Not using the speed boost in nfl 2k games is killing me!
Im sayin he jogged the whole game 😩
If there was a NFL 2K next gen I am convinced it would have signature run animations and throwing and moves with mocap - also real cheerleaders on the sideline
So glad there making a new football game even tho its not simulation
That’s crazy early nfl 2k games still have better presentation than current madden smh!
2k need to make NFL games, EA just copy and paste the same game each year.
Cant nobody sat OVERALL BETTER THEN ericrayweather 😅😅😅
nfl 2k came out in 1999 and man.... Randy Moss and the '98 vikings. The best NFL team to never go to the superbowl.
2K looked so much better than Madden man
Should do a video comparing each year side by side… the graphical fidelity on 2K was wiiiild.
Take a shot every time he says early 2000s
Memories✌️ visual concept 💪💪💪
2k series was the best we’ll ever get when it comes to realism in the nfl😊
These games offer better controls and simulation than the trash you find today. Yes, today's games look nicer, but the physics and game play are just plain lazy. The customization on the older games were waaaay better than anything you have today. The between the games stuff was fun.
2K was a huge generational leap, but 2K1 fixed the running game. I thought the Dreamcast versions had the best UI.
Also 2K was a launch title, so it came out in 1999.
Imagine this on current gen
2k4 looked amazing
The in game commentators were hilarious with Peter and Dan 😂😂😂😂😂 and of course with Chris Berman 😂😂😂 I still love this game to 💀
EA should be ashamed
I had NFL 2k2 and NFL 2k3 on PS2
You havent played NFL2K5 if you havent played the Xbox version with 3D wrinkles in jersey,player sweat and ingame custom stadium music from your ripped disc maan yall had to be there
I remember playing NFL 2K on Dreamcast and then NFL 2K5 on Xbox as a kid.
2k5 had some seriously awesome gang tackles
NFL 2K...Goated forever!
bro hit every nail on the head. miss the game like a family member
We went backwards micro transactions ruined the quality of games.
When I saw this video it brought tears to my eyes..
Erick pls tell them to stop the pain
Didn’t even play 2k8 but that one also pushed sports games forward way more than one game should be able to
Where can I find different rosters for nfl 2k3 and 2k5? On my xbox.
NFL2K-5 is by far the Best NFL football game ever made.
I love that running animation in 2k3, I wonder why they didn’t keep it for 2k5
Loved these games as a kid at the time the best sports games were on the Dreamcast
2k5 the best football game alltime so far
I coulda sworn Texans year was madden03 /2k3. Love u playin with the Hasslet saints Eric. Joe and deuce was good times back then
I think this is correct cause I remember them being in Madden 2002 but they weren't an official team just yet, I think the roster was random.
The field actually looks realistic in 2k3 ..it’s Astro turf
I wonder of the new NFL 2K next year is going to have Ultimate Team and Franchise mode in it. I have played a few of NFL 2k way back. I hope that next year's NFL 2k will be better and soon.
This came out in 1999 dude
These games are great
The disrespect for the Dreamcast is crazy in this video
2k5 ran at a slower frame rate than the other games and that’s the one thing that always bugged me about it, just wasn’t as smooth
Yesss. I love 2k5 but that’s always bothered me too. When you throw the ball and the players go to catch it or swat it, it’s like the game enters slow motion mode. Def not as smooth as 2k4
Lolol wow I haven't seen the first 2K in a minute. Back then those graphics were amazing.
YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE…GREAT GAME
@2:56 NFL 2K1 not "2k21" ... those 2k games were amazing on the dreamcast days
EA should take notes on how to make Madden an enjoyable experience from NFL 2K5. NFL 2K5 was ahead of its time and my favorite football game.
See if madden was worth their salt they’d implement all this stuff back into their game. It’s complete garbage in franchise. They need to have a pool of coaches to hire and fire. I’m just over madden
Scouting was actually implemented in the mid 2000s
My favorites are NFL 2K, 2K3, and of course the best NFL 2K5!
NFL 2k3 is forever goated to me. But it wasn’t better than 2k5 but 2k3 got a special place in my heart
Is there a title update tomorrow ⁉️
2k IS just better
You should play the xbox version of 2k5, it's almost night and day! Also try playing the Dreamcast versions with a VMU!
Bring the NFL back to 2K so they can compete with Madden
his name was ricky dudley. he was a okay player.
That pass to TO in the end zone would’ve been picked in madden 24 😂
I remember when this game first came out and I remember being excited because players wore long sleeves
Lol refs on the field in 2000 🤣
