There are also expansions to the franchise mode and to online modes along various other additions and changes.
Major changes to defensive play include the introduction of the Hit Stick: it allows precise and context-sensitive tackling through the use of the second analog stick.
There is now also defensive playmaker control (allowing on-the-fly position changes) and defensive hot routes.
The offense was also expanded and now allows for formation shifts on the line.
The franchise mode now features the Storyline Central option, which features an "EA Sports Radio" show hosted by Tony Bruno, featuring news and reports around games and the league, interviews with players and call-ins from fans.
There are also newspaper articles (featuring real licensed papers from around the US), emails from players and coaches and more.
All of this is accessed through a redesigned interface resembling a PDA.
Another new feature is morale for players, which changes throughout the season depending on their contracts, win-lose performance, being benched and more.
The draft system has also been revised, and drafting new players can also affect the morale of existing players.
Another new feature is called Create-A-Fan: players can create fans with an editor, having them put on outlandish costumes and then watch them sit in the stadium during a game.
This year's edition is the first to feature online play for the Xbox via Xbox Live and introduces online league play for the first time on both PS2 and Xbox.
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Madden NFL 2005 for Game Boy Advance with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Madden NFL 2005 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBA release dates back to 2004.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Madden NFL 2005, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Advance titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
