Take something simple, run down the field straight, then turn left or right. The player stops going forward to change the direction you are running. It really sucks. It makes it hard to run at an angle. I have linemen catch my recieivers just because of this weird way that they piece together the animations.
Comparing 2k5 to madden 04 it definitly has better off field presentation. But for running a team and franchise madden is just hands down better. Hopefully Madden improved their presentation. I know they added stuff to the super bowl, hopefully other stuff got added as well. But either way, those things are only cool for the first few tiems you play. How often do you watch sports center and the halftime show? mabye the first three times then never again? Thats why madden has always been a better game, because they understand whats more importatn to the long term game play.

I don't know, I think its cool seeing the highlights of other games, finding out injuries, and trades on sportscenter after each game. It is kinda true about the halftime show except when there r a couple plays u wanna see again. I haven't had any problems at running at an angle except after first catching the ball or right after a handoff, but a couple seconds after those types of plays I'm able to make them run at an angle without making a cut.
I might rent madden for a week or 2, but weighing my options of other games that I want, the fact that I've already got a really good football game in ESPN 2K5 for $35 bucks cheaper, and seeing as to how nothing I've seen or read about madden knocks my socks off, I'll see my normal $50 towards madden going to something else this year.
