NFL 2K5 + Dolphins football. Good to be back
Elite combo this Friday night. As much as I hate this team I have missed watching the Dolphins. Nice to feel fresh going into the new season for a change, not had it in a few years now. We are going 3-14 but still, good to be back.

I recreated the intro for This Week in Pro Football in 2K5
Made this for my new YouTube series and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

NFL Blitz Pro 2027 memory card mod on GameCube
I reverse engineered the GameCube save file format for NFL Blitz Pro. Mapped the full 40-byte player record structure, cracked the checksum algorithm, and built a Python pipeline that rewrites the roster directly in the .GCI memory card file — no disc modification required. This is, of course, a fan-made save file.
On the last post I made, I was still using Madden 2026, but with the new season coming up I decided to update with Madden 2027. I also discovered many extra checks I needed to add to keep the game from crashing. For example, there were some position changes made in the scripts to fill needed slots, like RB to FB and Edge player to LB. And in the modern NFL there are not many true fullbacks, so even more players were added from the real preseason depth chart with some fabricated ratings just to have enough fullbacks. I moved some original punters to Free Agency since there were zero extra that I found on the Madden 2027 player rating page. Also, a few other 2003 players moved to Free Agency for fun.
Audio commentary matching is now on the save files. There were 7 or so players who had exact first-name/last-name matches, like Patrick Surtain II matching his father in the original roster. More details on the GitHub page.
I could use collaborators for non-technical stuff like finishing the skin tone assignments, jersey numbers, and people with different-than-standard equipment like visors. The technical part is solved; I just need some help because about 1,800 players fit into the new roster. You can use the Excel files I have or just type out the changes. And also let me know if it ever crashes. I haven't done extensive play testing.

Played NFL 2K5 for the First Time After Years of Frostbite Madden
I picked it up for the PS2 in GameStop in their “retro” section for 5 bucks and boy what a steal. Playing this game, then going back to playing a friend as well as the CPU on Madden 26 really puts in perspective how downright garbage EA football gameplay is, particularly on the Frostbite engine. On 2K you get rewarded for using real football logic, for example if you have a good QB and you wanna fire a hole shot into cover 2, or try to lay one out in front of a receiver with leverage headed toward the pylon you can do it, maybe he catches it maybe you miss it, but the receiver won’t get Moss’ed by every freaking CB/Safety.
The thing that probably drives me crazy the most when I play Madden particularly on offense is there’s this annoying shifting meta year to year of some position groups (linebackers for example) being terrible while another (DBs) is wayy too good to compensate. On 2K everything feels balanced, CPU has logic and follows assignments, every game feels different. The defense can actually play well naturally without this ying-yang of “on-ball” defense being cartoonishly good to compensate for “off-ball” defense being crap, no scripted screwups on 3rd-4th down or in 2 minute drills to manipulate games either.
Sorry for the rambling, but man it’s really nice to play a much more sim focused football game for the first time. Madden 11 on the PS3/Xbox 360 has always been the peak of EA gameplay for me, but 2K’s gameplay even makes that look like crap especially considering 2K5’s console generation/hardware to work with. I’m more impressed than I thought I was gonna be even after seeing all the praise over the years.
