ESPN NFL 2K5 Official Strategy Guide

ESPN NFL 2K5 offers several original and exciting features including additions to the Franchise Mode, more ESPN personalities, and the new Maximum TackleTM system. ESPN personalities in the game include Suzy Kolber, SportsCenter anchor Trey Wingo, and ESPN NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr., as well as an expanded role for Chris Berman. Maximum TackleTM is a new dynamic gameplay mechanic that provides a deeper level of control on both offense and defense. On offense, as the ball carrier, gamers can fight for extra yards while being tackled; with superstar players, there's even a good breaking out of tackles. On defense, players now have full control when making tackles and can choose to go for the big highlight hit or the textbook wrap-up on opponents. Franchise mode additions include week-to-week prep of the team's training and workout schedules, the ability to direct the coaches focus, and a new watch-and-react visual simulator. Not Final Cover.
