Mamoscott, GameSpot never said they both weren't solid games, just that they preferred 2K5 over Madden.

What I want to know is where was all this fanboyism last year? It's practically the exact same game as last year except it was $50 dollars-
Ohhhhhh I get it now...I forgot. This is the year for people who don't play Football games to go ape shit. If ESPN wasn't $20 bucks, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Say what you want, but when it's mentioned in every single review ever written for it, the price does play a huge part. I payed $50 last year over Madden and I was fine. I payed $20 bucks this year before Madden and I feel screwed.
When the game is $50 bucks next year we won't be talking about it. Even though ESPN is largely seen as a Joke around EA offices (It was played during a recent quarterly meeting to much comedy), I expect Tiburon to go totally balls out next year because of how close it is in the media.
PS: Yeah, Fair Play does suck, but it's good for pussies. You can always just turn it off but it seems like not many people ever do. You know. Because there are a lot of pussies out there. Oh, and if your team has a good kicker (Like the Raiders), punting a 52 yard field goal is actually easy. 60+ is where things get impossible.
Mamo, I was responding specifically to this: I don't care what Gamespot thinks, but they're both solid games.

Probably someone is a liar.
I don't play most of these because they tout realism but don't really come close. So far 2K5 is the winner here.
Last I checked, you can't change the rules of ranked online games, so turning the Fair Play rules off (or using 5 minute quarters) is not an option. I always thought the pussies were the ones playing exhibition games online that don't count against their record.Quote:

Punting a 52 yard field goal is probably pretty easy, but since field goal kickers don't actually punt the ball, that's not really relevant now, is it? :) And if it is so easy to hit a 50+ yard field goal, then it just goes to show how unrealistic the kicking game in Madden 2005 is. Only a few kickers in the NFL can consistently hit 50+ yard kicks.
I wasn't trying to refute the conclusions of the Gamespot editors, just stating that it doesn't particularly matter to me what they think.Quote:

Oh, and I know what you're saying about the kicking. Thats why I said, "If you have a good kicker". My Raiders totally dominate on field goals but I know a lot of teams do suck at it.
Speaking of kicking, everyone should adopt NCAA's kicking. ESPN's is way too freaking easy, Madden's is too random..NCAA's is hard to get the hang of and even when I got used to it, I managed to totally screw it up every so often. And isn't that how kicking should be?
Thanks for the clarification, mamoscott.
