Is Madden NFL 2005 still worth playing in 2026?

Madden NFL 2005 stresses defence with the arrival of the Hit Stick and the defensive control dubbed Defensive Playmaker, rebalancing a series until then very offence heavy. The franchise mode grows richer and the sim gains tactical credibility. The presentation, polished for its day, of course shows its age now against modern games. For a fan of the NFL licence or a lover of demanding defensive simulation, the title keeps a real depth of play.
