Madden is in my playstation and booting up. Ill be sure to put reviews up as soon as I get some gametime in.

Initial impression : awesome box for teh collectors edition.

Weird, you know how they have players that say 'its in the game' when you turn the game on, well it was a cheerleader!! lol.

SkinsnCanes let me know what the Gibbs playbook looks like. Is it similar to the one on 2k5?

SKINSnCANES · 08-09-2004, 12:30 PM

Ramseys touchness is a 67? wtf?

illdefined · 08-09-2004, 12:42 PM

how are the anims? same as '04? '03? '02....

SKINSnCANES · 08-09-2004, 12:46 PM

no its smoother then before. Same pregame animations basically where it introduces a player from each team. The espn presentaion is obvioulsy better

illdefined · 08-09-2004, 12:48 PM

how are the tackles, cuts, stutter steps, bumping into linemen etc....

SKINSnCANES · 08-09-2004, 12:51 PM

I was just watching all the cameos, the 'its in teh game' intro. Its all fans and cheerleaders this year instead of players it seems.

Nope, I take that back, its players to.

Give us a review as soon as you play some, let us know how the gameplay is.

SKINSnCANES · 08-09-2004, 01:12 PM

gameplay is similar, partically because a lot of the plays are the same. I played one qtr on pro, a qtr on all pro, and am now play on all madden. Im just getting used to teh new quirks, then ill start myf ranchise on all madden. All pro didnt offer much of a challenge for me, I dominate on all madden on 04 so im just going to start on all madden on 05 and see if they relaly did make it the most realistic and hardest football game yet.

SKINSnCANES · 08-09-2004, 01:12 PM

the qb just missed a fieldgoal, which is awesome becuase they never missed on 04.

SeasonTicketHolder · 08-09-2004, 01:15 PM

This game is incredible so far. Lots of new animations.

SKINSnCANES · 08-09-2004, 01:15 PM

just kicked my first punt on all madden. It was a 50+ yard punt and was straight. And if any of you tried kickign on all madden in 04 you realize that thast a big feat. I think they made the kicking easier this year. I may have just gotten lucky on my first try. Ill let you guys know, ill purposely kick a field goal next drive. It tell you your percent power adn accuracy this year, a nice touch.

SKINSnCANES · 08-09-2004, 01:20 PM

the playbook is the same as last years, just with mroe stuff added to it. All the plays I used to run are still there and in teh same spot. They did add the option to have more big sets though.

illdefined · 08-09-2004, 01:24 PM

man Canes, skip the intro's and the kicking, how's the GAME? well, more importantly, how's it different/BETTER?

STH, tell us more about the anims

SKINSnCANES · 08-09-2004, 01:29 PM

its definitly better. The defensive adjustments you can make really do make it a lot of fun to play defsene. I used to never control a play, now i acutally use lavar and play like lavar. i run all over the field with him making plays, its so much better than last year. Havent seen or figured out anythign with the hitstick yet. Being able to change any individual players task on defense has helped out a lot in situations.

It basically plays teh same as the old maddens, there are new animations but I dont think its anythign revolutionary. I think ive done enough play now mode so ill go start a franchise and fill you guys in on that.
