The '2005' edition of the best-selling Madden NFL sports game series hits the field with another new season's worth of refinements and additions. Attention has been paid to the defensive game in this version, with enhancements intended to give gamers more options and more control when they're playing from the other side of the football.

Players are now rewarded for their good performances throughout the season, and individuals can be affected by the ebb and flow of morale.
