You know this game is going to be great when the previous NFL 2K Games on the PS2 were all really good especially NFL 2K3. Great Gameplay especially on the defensive controls. It feels like that I'm coaching an NFL team when I play this game unlike in Madden where I feel like I'm pressing random buttons and hoping that I called the right play.The Audible controls in this game are really good as well. Graphics that still hold up well to this day in 2021. Awesome presentation especially with the ESPN halftime show with Chris Berman and the Suzy Kolber postgame interview with the player of the game. The detail in this game is also impressive especially that the game has a chain gang and cheerleaders in it. The ESPN 25th anniversary mode where you get to recreate the greatest moments in NFL history is really fun as well. And the franchise mode is really impressive especially that you can lure players out of retirement and the film study and practice mode in the franchise mode. The people who made this game did an outstanding job as well. All in All, I would highly recommend this game to anyone who likes football or video games. Madden doesn't even come close to holding a candle to this outstanding game period.
