NFL 2K5 Wiki
ESPN NFL 2K5 is an American football video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports and the Sega Corporation. It is the sixth installment of the NFL 2K series. The game was originally released on July 20, 2004, for both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game consoles. It was the last NFL 2K game to be released before Electronic Arts signed an exclusivity deal with the NFL to make 2K's rival Madden NFL series the only officially licensed NFL game and was also the last game still being developed by Sega.
The game features a franchise mode with a SportsCenter feature hosted by Chris Berman. He outlines the games of the current week with his co-host Trey Wingo who talks about the latest injuries and free agent deals and trades during the season. Mel Kiper Jr. hosts the draft portion of the segment while Suzy Kolber reports from the sidelines. There is also weekly preparation for the coming week which allows the player to make decisions on training and preparation. The player can also create his or her own team deciding the team logos (over 10 are available), team name, the team's city, the team's stadium look and build, jerseys and how good the team is. It also has a feature called first-person football, which gives the player the experience on the field looking from the eyes of the players. There is also the traditional create-a-player mode.

The franchise mode was the same year after year. But face of the franchise brings back some sort of realistic effect to madden for me. Which we hadn’t had since madden 11.

It was super awesome as an RB...To look both ways and see how the d line was shifted and where the LBs were and to actually see the hole when carrying was fun as heck and it was the closest thing to actually playing. Also loved playing on the d line with it(played DT in school)...so much potential there to improve but it made you play off instincts of a real Player more than being able to see the entire field which causes you to move and play outside of how the game is played for real

The fact that Take-Two sold such a fully-featured, fully-licensed, and top-quality game for just $20 still blows my mind to this day. I bought both 2K and Madden yearly, so 2004 was nice for my wallet AND for fun football games. It also blows my mind that EA actually had a partnership with ESPN for years and never capitalized on it for Madden. The possibilities were there, but ESPN chose to use them on NCAA franchises instead. The way that Visual Concepts brought ESPN telecasts to their video games has rarely been matched by other presentation packages; maybe thIs gen of NBA 2K comes close, and the dual ESPN and CBS Sports presentation packages in NCAA Basketball 10 are in the conversation. Hard to believe it’s been 15 years since the last non-Madden NFL game. The market sorely misses the competition.

A lot of the NCAA team does work on madden. What most of the people don't understand who shit on the madden devs is its not their fault. Its the Executives at EA fault. The devs can't work on franchise mode or gameplay if the executives want them to work on pay to win modes or making the game easier for casual fans. The devs have a boss and they have to do what the boss says. Getting mad at the executives is what should be done, not the devs.

What did I like about NFL 2K5? Actual typefaces on uniforms (at the time Madden didn't do that), shots of the fans in the stands and cheerleaders on the field (even for teams that don't have cheerleaders like Chicago), playing DMX's I'm a Bang for stadium music, the halftime and postgame show having replays of big plays from the game with Berman at commentary, the actual proper use of the ESPN license (EA barely uses it in spite of having access to the brand), custom audibles on defense per position group or player (and easy too using the left joystick) and yes the $20 dollar price point for a game that had more in it than Madden.

I've been playing 2K5 non stop for nearly a year. To the point where I haven't played any of my other Maddens since getting my hands on it. Yesterday I played a bit of Madden 12, and I can honestly say that 2K5 still FELT like more of a simulation game. I also bought a copy of ESPN NFL Football (aka 2K4) and could see the beginnings of greatness. The previous 2K games, I cannot stand because of the playcalling mechanism. But I'm apparently a completist...because I have them lol

there were a few more features i loved in 2k5 that madden never had or was very limited, the fact that you could save any of your instant replays to watch later was awesome, also the fact you could charge up your player for a harder hit, or speed burst... to make your player speed up you had to keep tapping the button was way more satisfying than just holding down the button or trigger in madden... to catch the ball felt more realistic and more user controlled in 2k5 than madden... overall 2k5 made you feel like you had more control over the game and the outcome of the game...

I think the biggest travesty to come out of this is the exclusivity that NFL implemented in future games. Personally, prior to 2009, I never played Madden. It was always Nintendo's Play Action Football, Sony's GameDay or Sega's 2K football. The only good feature in the old Madden games was the create a team and stadium which in subsequent games has been taken away, gotta get players to spend money on MUT right? Haven't played an NFL game since the turn of the decade after playing them since I was a kid.

Things 2K5 did that Madden STILL hasn't implemented successfully or at all: -First Person Football -Choosing what part of play you're challenging -QB avoidance -Showing fans entering the stadium/celebrating good plays/the stadium emptying early if the home team was getting blown out -An actual half time show that shows clips of other games from around the league -Custom music being able to play what part of what song after what instance on the field -Speed/catch ratings that actually corresponded correctly. No watching their 83 spd CB gaining ground on your 95 spd WR to save a touchdown. And so, so many more.

This series needs to come back, same with NFL head coach. All these great games back in the day are gone now, or butchered. I feel like back in the day, since the graphics and other specs was low, it was easier to add things and work on the game more. Except all these newer madden's have been on the same Engine (well the last few have) graphics should be the least of their worries.

Thank you sports gamers for the video. I actually just bought 2K five again took down my partially unopened Xbox 360 elite couldn’t find the controller had to buy another one and took the tape off because I never use it and all that good stuff fired it up. Updated it to K5 played fine, I remembered how awesome this game really was still trying to figure out why I even got rid of it in the first place and made a historic 90s Giants team which took me hours only to remember that you can’t use them in franchise that sucks but it’s still fun this game the presentation to the gameplay to even though the great announcers, there’s just nothing like it so excited to know that 2K has got a license back and hopefully by next year into the future they will start making simulation football games again just imagine this game template on our series X and ps5s and even most likely our Nintendo switch how cold would that be in 2023 it’s still a great game madden with all his bugs and foolishness and money hungry nonsense, better watch out because 2K you see 2023 is still the game for me !

Changing their names,numbers and stats. Then you can watch the computer play itself with historical teams. What a sight !!! I loved their super moves!!! Holding a A button to super charge and do a super move that’s realistic. I love seeing the foul on the field like holding and face masks. Customizing the defensive players on the line of scrimmage and play outside or inside of the receiver. Play up to jam or back up to not get burned deep. I LOVE THIS GAME!!!
