- ESPN NFL 2K5 had a weekly show in Franchise Mode with Chris Berman going over highlights of games you didn't even play, Trey Wingo going over free agent signings, injuries, and the playoff picture, and Mel Kiper going over rising draft prospects... #BringBackNFL2K
00:00 - This is the Halftime Show in ESPN NFL 2K5, a game from 2004. EA has never come close to matching this, and they've had the exclusive sim NFL license for 20 years now... #BringBackNFL2K #BringBackCompetition
00:00 - In ESPN NFL 2K5, stadiums had their accurate licensed sponsors. In Madden 25, stadiums are filled with generic ones like "Mr Fizz". Just a tiny little detail I noticed #BringBackNFL2K #BringBackCompetition
- Replying to @drewisgoodenI can't wait for the 3rd Drew Gooden to really mix things up
- I wish you could visually upgrade your campus and stadium as you build up a program in CFB 25
- It's crazy what EA can do when the exclusive NFL license is in jeopardy. It's a low bar, but this looks like it could be the best Madden since the PS3 days. We'll see...Madden 26 Gameplay Deep Dive Trailer x.com/ChitoGamingLiv…
- Yeah College Football 25 is awesome
- Just played Madden 25 for the first time. It sucks.
- Fixing ESPN is easy: negotiate with Google and stfu, make SportsCenter and highlights a major focus again, cover all sports (even ones not on the network like NASCAR), get more analysts that break down Xs and Os, and embrace 90s-2000s nostalgia and sports history again.The perception of ESPN is at an all-time low dlvr.it/TP6hB7
- Like this tweet if you want to see more NFL games than just Madden! It’s been twenty years now #BringBackNFL2K
- In Madden NFL 2005, the team selection screen would show video highlights when you choose a team 🔥
