Actually in 2k5 the best way to utilize speed was to hold the A button until your meter charged up, and then press it one more time to get the full sprint effect.

You hit the hole or sprint away from the defender with one button press, and then if you get wrapped up, you hammer the A button for leg drive to break out of the tackle.

It was the same with all the special moves. You set them up by charging them and then at the right time using it on the defender. A fully charged shoulder drop by a big RB was pretty sweet to watch. Same with jukes and spins.

Defense had the same thing. A fully charged tackle resulted in a bone crushing hit.

Keep in mind Madden Fanboys, that all through the Sega, and PS1 years, Madden always had you tapping the sprint button to run faster as well. Nobody seemed to complain.

2k5 kept that and improved on it with the ability to charge up the move to make it stronger.

Maybe it wasnt for everybody, but at least it wasnt broken.


Madden sucks.

Hey, you need that FG to win at the end of the game? How about I line up offside right in front of your holder and sack him when you snap it, resulting in the game ending because the guys at EA are too f*king stupid to realise that a Half, or Game cannot end on a defensive penalty?

How about you just go for it on every 4th down, because its impossible to punt if I bring a rusher with any type of speed off the right side of the screen?

Maybe Ill just spam the formation shift until your defense has zero stamina and walk right over you to the endzone.

Ill bust any run to the outside for a td by repeatedly juking and watching the ridiculous AI continuously react to each juke as if it happened right in front of them.

All this is outlined in the Madden 05 video I posted had you bothered to watch it. Superior gameplay my ass. The proof that this game was a giant frothy jar of ass is right there.
