Chris Berman and new sideline reporter Suzy Kolber headline an updated ESPN presentation, complete with expanded ESPN integrations and an innovative Franchise Show feature, allowing players to manage week-to-week preparation of their team. Well-known ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper and SportsCenter's very own Trey Wingo join in to deliver all franchise-related news. In celebration of ESPN's 25th Anniversary, ESPN NFL 2005 will feature an ESPN 25th Anniversary Mode, offering players the chance to rewrite history by replaying classic NFL moments.
Players can not only receive bragging rights by beating their opponents online, but also through the Crib's several new customizations and revamped point system. Players even have the opportunity to get points by taking on the challenge of playing against a celebrity and their dream team.
Virtual competition is more fun than ever as players are invited to connect to the ultimate online gaming community (via the Xbox and PS2) offering the most complete online sports experience on any video game console.
