ESPN NFL 2K5 2004

Is it still worth playing?

Visual Concepts' 2004 American football game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Franchise mode includes a SportsCenter style segment hosted by Chris Berman, the ESPN presenter, with other ESPN personalities covering injuries, free agency, trades and the draft. Each week you make training and preparation decisions, and you can build your own team, with a custom name, city, stadium, jerseys and team quality. A first person football mode shows the field from a player's perspective, and create a player is traditional. In the celebrity game, five celebrities call you in their own homes to challenge you, each with a team built from Pro Bowl players, and winning unlocks that celebrity's stadium as a venue. A franchise built on weekly preparation, and a first person view of the field, still give each season a rhythm to play through today.
