first off let me say there is no way EVER IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE that you can program an off offensive lineman in madden to outrun an entire defense after a catch, breaking tackles, etc. not even on rookie with all the sliders turned up in your favor.
with that said it is clear that the video was probably done on rookie or whatever, but the sad part is i saw a lot of things happen like that playing on ALL PRO in our espn league. i can't come out and say the game was 100% garbage. the graphics were great, i liked the THEORY of the features (dont get me started on the bullshit that VIP turned out being), and i thought the online leagues were bar none the best setup of all time (please copy them EA)
sadly, all the fluff in the world couldn't save the nfl 2k series. the gameplay has been horribly broken every year. madden is broken in the right hands as well, and i'll be the first to admit that. if you get 2 cheeser players playing madden, it's going to look ridiculous. the difference is you can control the shittiness of the gameplay experience. if you are cheesing it up or bullshit is happening, it is the players doing.
in nfl 2k5, i feel like i am being cheesed regardless of the other players intention. why? because nfl 2k5 quite easily has the worst artificial intelligence (and animation sequences) that i have ever seen in a sports game*. in nfl 2k5 i felt like i had no control over the outcome of a play. oh, i'm going to run the ball, let me tap Y Y Y Y Y YYY and see if i can get 9 yards. what, i can every time? sweet. I once broke 8 tackles on 1 play with kevan barlow against konex. I once had 35 broken tackles in a game with kevan barlow on all pro playing online. i once played an online game where drew bledsoe rushed for over 80 yards on less than 10 carries. im sure everyone has stories about madden too, but 2k5's problems were all too easy to exploit and too hard to monitor.
i honestly am sad to see the nfl 2k series go because i feel that, even though it was clearly inferior to madden, it was an enjoyable games at times. VC wasn't too far from having a great game on their hands, but that has been the story of NFL 2k's life. a day late and a dollar short
* Until MLB 2k5 came out.
