Hey ranjihn u stupid shit..madden crushes 2k5 ive play that p.o.s. and it sucks. thats why it is 20 bucks. the animations are repetitive as alllll hell. im sorry u dont know anything about football and thus know nothing whatsoever about a good football game. by the way u play 2k baseball too b/c thats shit too and u deserve it. ;)
