Another year, another Madden. The big new feature is Coach Mode. With this on, you choose plays and the like, then have zero control over the players. Fine for people who want a more of a management roll, but not quite the same as full on management games.
Outside of that, it’s just a more refined version of the previous game. Choosing plays is still easy and you know what’s going on.
Fun
Madden NFL 2005 is definitely gameplay-led, with franchise mode still the standout achievement f any American football game. Just be warned: it’ll kick you, punch you and gut you like a fish. And that’s when it’s feeling generous.
