Just bought espn 2k5

[Redskins_P]

I bought 2k5 on Saturday. First off let me say that 2K5 CANNOT TOUCH MADDEN!

But, I do admit that it's fun and it will keep me entertained for the next 9 days until Madden comes out. Gibbs playbook is awesome. It has all types of counters, play-action pass, play-action roll outs......alot of the stuff that Gibbs likes to do. Also the single-back formation has about 7 pages with different packages. Rock Cartwright is sometimes lined up as H-back, which I found odd. Gardner up the middle on a crossing route is my bread and butter, and Coles catches everything thrown to him.

Portis is a MONSTER. On my first game he rushed for 221 yards on 16 carries. Once he gets out in the open....he's gone. Betts runs pretty well also. The defense is good....even though the secondary is suspect. Marcus Washington is everywhere, and Griffin gets good penetration up the middle. Sean Taylor is pretty good too.

Overall, I give it a 8.5. I still prefer Madden simply because the game play is ALOT smoother and the franchise mode is 10 times better. You have so many more options on Madden. I do like Sportscenter and the post game highlights. It's a fun game and I was impressed, but I'm still waiting for Madden and I'll probably give away 2k5 once I do get Madden.

Portis is a MONSTER. QUOTE]

Portis is a monster on the default settings, but up the difficulty to "all-pro" and you will have to earn your rushing yards. Still, he holds his own on that level.

true that. try ALL-Pro only when you learn how to make your own audilbles on the fly and learn how to follow blockers. Pro is way too easy but fun for watching all the animations for shedding tackles.

the one thing I'm not liking is the fact u can't turn off the injuries. if I'm just not able to find where I can turn that off could someone help me out with that cuz I'm tired of the most expensive players gettin hurt and having no cap to address the weakness. and with some players missing u'd think the cap would have shown that.
