Buy it. Now. Unless you're gerrid, in which case, er...

Is the old Madden challenge still in the game?
I then went on to fake a field goal, and gained two points for a successful conversion. Genius.

Basically, much more control over defense, more intelligent corner-backs increasing the challenge and variety of the single player game. The new hit-stick which allows you to gamble everything on gut-busting tackles, along with new defensive playmaker controls,which allow you to change assignments and shift formations on the fly before the snap.
In owner mode, there is a new radio station with interviews with the players, a local and national newspaper with match and team information, new storylines involving players and their morale, how they want to move teams as they aren't playing enough, how they don't get on with the coaching staff etc. Also I believe there are new match highlights and the superbowl finally has some hype around it. You can also change player positions and make your Left Guard your Full back, for instance, if you are so inclined.
Basically, 2004 is the leper-child of 2005.

Eh gerrid? EH EH.
