2K5 out today

I like 2k5 a lot. In its favor are the halftime and post game wrap ups by Berman, the feel of it is great, and it rewards you for playing smart football (punting on 4th down, establishing the run to open up play action). Personally I was upset that I couldn't get LaVar as active as I wanted (In Madden '04 I'd line him up as an end in the dime and nickel packages and he's a holy terror). I also don't like that Gardner seems to drop a lot of balls, but maybe that's too realistic for me.

Overall it's a pretty good game, nothing I'd choose over Madden, but something different to play while waiting on Madden to come out. And for 20 bucks a pretty good diversion.
