2k did so well on this, broadcasting was an A+, referee and player movements were amazing and ACTUALLY REALISTIC, crowd reactions were genuine and exciting, and damn…that halftime show will always be my favorite part of every game I played.
I just played NFL Gameday 04 by 989 Sports, and while the presentation and game play is far short of 2k5, it actually resembles 2k5's gameplay far better than Madden. By the way, PS2 Maddens from 2002-2008 were FIRE to begin with. I like the Xbox version of 2K5 because it has the ability to show actual highlights instead of just stills. But everything else is chef's kiss.
@@jasonpdsi Yeah I bought NFL Fever 2004 to check out how far ahead they were, and 2k5 is just way better. Plays better than even Madden 08 on old gen consoles.
@@OPF_1406It's cause they realize they dont need to make good games because they know they will sell well because off their name. It's really sad because these games actually seem really fun!
Its because people are going to buy it anyways. 2k started doing the same thing after NBA Live was notably inferior to 2k. All people have to do is not buy madden for a yr or 2 play the old one and they will improve the game
Wyatt, the 2K games and honestly every madden before 08 were gems and we'd much rather see you play those. The NFL Head Coach games are a lot of fun too! A series on any of them from you would be awesome to see.
FINALLY. I asked for this a while ago, never clicked on a video faster, I've been wanting to see you play the goat of all football games for a while, never personally got to play it as a kid though
Its so interesting how a game can have so many more features than todays sports games, but not take up 50+ GB of mempry. Its gotten to the point where I dont give a shit about graphics anymore, I just want a good ass game
I am currently playing this game again. I was a big deal in the online gaming community when this came out and still got it. I’m actually a player in the 2k4 game, yep my name, my picture etc. so glad to see there is still love for this game
ESPN NFL 2K5 is way better on Xbox than it is on PS2. Putting that aside, I had a blast playing franchise mode for the 2014 NFL season as the Patriots and Eagles. Also it's far and away better than the current Madden games.
NFL 2k5 is an amazing game right after you posted this I was playing it with my dad and we had a blast. Trading for Dwight Freeney and Larry Fitzgerald and making our team amazing. Wyatt do yourself a favor and do a franchise on it man you wont regret it
I love that the mod came out where they updated the graphics a little bit and you can play with updated today's rosters on 2K5, but even without playing with updated rosters The rosters alone back then were amazing especially balling out with randy moss
Nfl head coach is such a good game. I have the 08 version so I cant testify about the 06 one you got. But it offers one of the most indepth and rewarding franchise modes ever made. I hope you enjoy it!
This is the game where I could create a player and put him at any position. I would have 400 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, two sacks, three field goals, and a kick and punt return touchdown in one 5 minute game haha😂
Holy shit I actually got a ps2 to play this game and a lot more an I have had th funniest time of my life it’s cool to see you play it and yes please do more
Got this game on Xbox along with Madden 11 & Monster League Football just in time for that Bengals vs Rams Super Bowl. Best $7 I've ever spent and now it's right next to good ol' Halo 2 in my OG Xbox collection!
First football game with gang tackling. Takes me back to my college years. We used to have nba2k matches. And check this the game was only 19.99 and it was definitely worth more than madden.
the truth is the first person mode on 2k5 is one of the best simulators for quarterbacks on how to read defenses and adjust in real time. The first person mode will teach you to read the free safety or the rover and make the right decision.
Also the custom Grid Iron soundtrack's you could install 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 oh my damn goodness. 😅 I actually had DMX songs play on defense 🤣 Anytime Ray Lewis got a sack. DMX - "Fuckin' Wit' D" would play. I played the "Ruff Ryder Anthem" as my intro for home games and "Intro" from it's Dark and Hell's Hot for away games.
Because of this game i still have a habit of tapping the run button to sprint lol that was such a genius game mechanic that it literally doesn't make sense NOT to include it.
Yes but no franchise / presentation 😢 the 4k24 mod is awesome 2k4 played better than 2k5 both top tier games. 2k8 with king Javo editor is Awesome as well . I have all the good stuff 😂
REPLAYS 8:30 fun fact. You said, you forgot to hit record. No worries. Did you know NFL2K5 saved EVERY SINGLE play of the game? You could've just went to PLAY by PLAY and replayed any play 🤷🏾♂️ NBA2K5 did this too. Matter fact, if you played the full 15m quarter's. When it goes to Halftime, it's the same length as the irl broadcast 😅 I used to do 12min qtrs and get the same experience. Now the fun part. When you play 15min qtrs in Franchise mode. The weekly highlights are way better. The best part is how the franchise mode develops towards the end of the season 🙌🏾 Hands down, nothing has touched NFL2K5 even in 2023 that game has updated rosters and still kills Madden.
The reason this has so much more you can do compared to modern games is because the gaming industry gaslit everyone into thinking removing features was "streamlining" when in reality they pushed graphical technology way farther than what most developers were capable of reasonably producing at the time. Corners had to be cut somewhere along the line, and that downward trajectory has basically continued ever since. But hey, we can give you back the shit you already should have had...as extra paid DLC content, of course...Living in the future, baby!
Had Madden 2005 instead but can definitely see why 2k5 was popular and played it here n there throughout the years. Can’t believe both are gonna be 2 decades old! Also Ken Dorsey as OC on the Bills aged like milk in this video lol! He got fired mid 2023 season.
There was nothing like NFL 2k5 it's still the highest rated sports game to this day, in my opinion it is also far better than any other football game that has come afterwards esp madden, tht dope helmet cam mode, boomer's introductions and scire updates/replays, espn/sportscenter tagged along, it was full of so many little details and extras it just made it amazing. Sadly if it came out today though it would be full of microtransactions and 2K would destroy trying to make it hip and cool😅
The Simpson’s Hit and Run!! The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie game for PS2! (Trust me the SpongeBob game has some insanely hard levels and will have you raging but is extremely fun to play. And last but not least, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2! They’re all elite tier games I played as a kid!
Bro there's also some more hidden advanced moves in the game. You had to use both triggers like from the original NFL2K. (Best ver. is Xbox ver. Not being biased. Sony was a port). 2K did a similar thing with Kobe in NBA2K10. In that game you must learn to use Kobe custom moves. Use the right stick FLICKS. Left, Right. L, R, R. R, L. etc. All the controls were touch sensitive. Spin's have different animations based on the meter gauge, and button sensitivity. My suggestion. Use Clinton Portis, Marshall Faulk, Ricky Williams, Edgerrin James, and Willis McGahee. Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, and Marvin Harrison. But especially TO for training. There's a lot of animations in 2K5.
The gameplay and presentation was the best but things like team customization and Franchise mode (especially the off-season) was lacking compared to Madden at the time
Dude where is the new NFL 2K “arcade” game? They announced the partnership in March 2020. Then the game got delayed “past March 2022”… yet here we are in summer 2023. ZERO UPDATES. Is it going to be more in depth than we think?
Start a franchise with 2k5 ESPN
Good idea
We need this
W idea
I think I am
@@wyattzworld you will have actually fun and not want to throw your controller into your screen

The handful of ways you can challenge a call in game. People forget about that.
It’s insane at how little you can do in madden now compared to like 20 years ago 💀
I agree it’s taken manny steps down
@@OPF_1406It's cause they realize they dont need to make good games because they know they will sell well because off their name. It's really sad because these games actually seem really fun!
Mostly because the No Fun League makes them take stuff down.
Its because people are going to buy it anyways. 2k started doing the same thing after NBA Live was notably inferior to 2k. All people have to do is not buy madden for a yr or 2 play the old one and they will improve the game
Seeing wyatt smile while playing A NFL game is something special
Fr
I love how it’s says Sunday night football giving you that real game feel. It’s all about the little details when it comes to videogames
Wyatt, the 2K games and honestly every madden before 08 were gems and we'd much rather see you play those. The NFL Head Coach games are a lot of fun too! A series on any of them from you would be awesome to see.
Never seen a man rub his hands as aggressively as Wyatt when he’s excited
Retro games are so nostalgic I honestly enjoyed this so much
FINALLY. I asked for this a while ago, never clicked on a video faster, I've been wanting to see you play the goat of all football games for a while, never personally got to play it as a kid though
This game actually does have adaptive difficulty. If you keep going only to Raannndy! lol, the defense will pick up on that and adjust accordingly
If EA had ESPN'S TheCrib, Every. Single. Item. Would be Minimum of $4.99
8,000 madden cash
Its so interesting how a game can have so many more features than todays sports games, but not take up 50+ GB of mempry. Its gotten to the point where I dont give a shit about graphics anymore, I just want a good ass game

I agree the xbox version was the best IMO.
Exactly I play it on Xbox, it's way better than ps2. The best football game ever.
Mannnnn… i know the xbox version is the best, but those black and white buttons always mess me up, not having 2 bumpers always throws me off
The PS2 version was definitely disappointing. The halftime show was terrible without the highlights showing (just frozen shots from plays).
Ps2 with the hdd helps tremendously
NFL 2k5 is an amazing game right after you posted this I was playing it with my dad and we had a blast. Trading for Dwight Freeney and Larry Fitzgerald and making our team amazing. Wyatt do yourself a favor and do a franchise on it man you wont regret it
Sweet video, keep doing this. Like going back to other nfl games from back in the day like past madden 16 would be interesting
madden 16 was trash though
Wyatt I love your videos, your the best RUclipsr!!❤️
I have ESPN NFL 2k5 on my og Xbox and I can confirm that it's the best NFL video game ever
I love that the mod came out where they updated the graphics a little bit and you can play with updated today's rosters on 2K5, but even without playing with updated rosters The rosters alone back then were amazing especially balling out with randy moss
The fact that Wyatt can be a comedian in all his videos shows you how great of a RUclipsr he is W🔥💯
Best football game period..still holds up today especially against any of the Madden games
Nfl head coach is such a good game. I have the 08 version so I cant testify about the 06 one you got. But it offers one of the most indepth and rewarding franchise modes ever made. I hope you enjoy it!

@@48hourrecordsteam45lmao I’m assuming you’ve never played the game
This will be good...
It's a Wyatt upload of course it'll be good.
This game was decades ahead of its time
Can you imagine what nfl games would be like if ea went bankrupt and 2k kept making them? I’m so sad thinking about it
hi wyatt im always happy when you post videos
Everyone is, or should be at least
Ahead of its time and the best football game ever made. NCAA 14 was right behind it.
Holy shit I actually got a ps2 to play this game and a lot more an I have had th funniest time of my life it’s cool to see you play it and yes please do more
Keep this series going I love it and it makes me miss my ps2
such a good game looks rlly fun please play that again dawg
As someone that has had NFL 2K5 since the game came out, I've never seen that animation of the fleaflicker resulting into a fumble LMAO
Best NFL game ever and it was only 20 bucks when it came out!!
Got this game on Xbox along with Madden 11 & Monster League Football just in time for that Bengals vs Rams Super Bowl.
Best $7 I've ever spent and now it's right next to good ol' Halo 2 in my OG Xbox collection!
This is the happiest I have seen Wyatt in a while 😂😂😂
It was amazing with a sick halftime show
First football game with gang tackling. Takes me back to my college years. We used to have nba2k matches. And check this the game was only 19.99 and it was definitely worth more than madden.
The single greatest sports game of all time.
Yes. This and ssx 3
@@DanKale You know your games, whatta legend.
We need a remake of this game
This game is my favorite i modded it on my pc to have modern rosters better then any madden by far
the truth is the first person mode on 2k5 is one of the best simulators for quarterbacks on how to read defenses and adjust in real time. The first person mode will teach you to read the free safety or the rover and make the right decision.
Your reaction when you scored that first touchdown.. too funny
The greatest football game ever made NFL2k5
either that, or m07

I'm happy I came across your channel. I believe you picked it off when your camera was off lol 😂
We playing the best football game ever
I saw the tweet of all the games he found and I just knew the next few videos are going to be absolute bangers 😂
Mod APF 2K8 and I honestly put it above 2K5, as crazy as that sounds!
Yes but no franchise / presentation 😢 the 4k24 mod is awesome 2k4 played better than 2k5 both top tier games. 2k8 with king Javo editor is Awesome as well . I have all the good stuff 😂
The goat playing a goated gameeee
This was amazing to relive

The jargons and plays description in option kept me reading All day
I'm a Packers fan and I hate Randy Moss. But seeing you play this classic game was so much fun. Keep up thr good work Wyatt!.
This is the game that set the standard for football games and physics
Damn wish there was a modern 2023 version of this game
Aye nice vid
Great video

My all-time favorite video game. Most insane part was it released at $19.99.
The cheerleader reaction was hilarious
Fr
I bought a PS2 specifically so I could play this game again. Best sports game ever made imo. Far better than any recent Madden.
Had Madden 2005 instead but can definitely see why 2k5 was popular and played it here n there throughout the years. Can’t believe both are gonna be 2 decades old! Also Ken Dorsey as OC on the Bills aged like milk in this video lol! He got fired mid 2023 season.
This game really does put madden to shame
keep doing this

fun fact: bill belichick was actually in ONE madden game that i know of and that is madden 03’
Nfl head coach 09 is so hard. I put together a good roster and still kept losing
I always bake my mom a homemade Angel food cake for mothers day
Can you do more 2k5 content it was fun watching you play a game that’s actually fun
I remember when my brother broke this game when we was kids I was sooo hurt
@wyattzworld, since you liked the first person mode so much in 2K5 you gotta make a video of you trying NFL Pro Era 23 on VR soon
This is gonna be fun
I got it emulated on my Xbox Series X with updated rosters and mod textures 🔥😎
I wish they bring back NFL 2K back, that game was so much better
New merch idea: Hats or Shirts with "RAAAANNNDDDAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!"
Classic .I don't remember that game. But cool the one had Bill Cowher on it
You should make a video of playing a full first person football game
The gameplay and presentation was the best but things like team customization and Franchise mode (especially the off-season) was lacking compared to Madden at the time
Wow I feel like im 10 years old again seeing this game!
Hot damn the nostalgia hits different
This game was GOATED
This looks a lot more fun than the Madden games created today, and more realistic
This Friday can you do the qbs as women.
Bro can you do a tear list about all people who got steals this offseason
First person football looks fun asf
Ohhh this is going to be the end of Madden once Wyatt sees how much better that game was better than current madden
SMACKDOWN HERE COMES THE PAIN LETS FUCKING GO 🔥
How does one play 2k5 on a PC with updated rosters?
the bill billechek thing is partly true he was in early maddens
