Why NFL 2k5 stinks

You cant throw a proper screen pass, the ball overshoots the reciever by 15 yards. There is no screen game whatsoever in nfl 2k5. madden would get ripped if it were like that

Re: Why NFL 2k5 stinks

works fine for me. It's a good play for a heavy blitz team.

I don't trust anyone that has a "z" in his name at the end.

Screens sort of work. The problem is they programmed the RB to immediately run out instead of feigning blocking first, and then stand there like a dummy facing the QB. He might as well wave a flag at that point and shout, "Throw it to me!" Plus, if and when he grabs the ball, it takes forever before he turns and starts to run upfield. The play bears no resemblance to a real screen pass in the NFL. But it does work against certain defenses, if your QB can get the ball to him (another problem with screens).

All of this has been discussed a hundred times, so yeah, people know there's a bit of an issue. One solution is to hot route your RB so he keeps running towards the sidelines instead of stopping 5 yards from the QB. That's what I do anyway.

As for the rest of your post: I have to believe you're no more than maybe 14 years old, given the idiotic topic title and your general crap attitude. And the only reason I even bothered answering you is because you're new here and could use some advice. Wise up, in other words.

Re: Why NFL 2k5 stinks

I tried that Hot Route workaround for screens (audibling the RB to the flat) and it works pretty well. The linemen still pull and block and the RB catches the ball on the run and can work his way upfield. First screens that ever worked for me.

Re: Why NFL 2k5 stinks

I think NFL2K5 completely stinks because it has the Eagles #81 Jason Avant on the cover?

Why no love for that fiery All-star, Greg Lewis????

lol...

I'll play along. I think 2K5 stinks because the developers haven't updated the rosters in about 4 years

Humm, my 2K5 gamebox cover got the #81 part right, but the Jason Avant part is all screwed up.

I think it stinks because I dropped it in the toilet when I was in the bathroom cleaning the smudges off with alcohol.
