July 15, 200422 yr ill eventually rent both madden and nfl 2k5 to try both out. i have NFL 2k3 and i wasnt exactly to happy with it. didnt buy madden or 2k4 last year but this year ill be trying both out before making the final purchase. 2k5 does look good though.
July 16, 200422 yr Actually no, 2k3 was the first use of the ESPN license, but 2k4 is when they went all out with it.
July 16, 200422 yr I care about my games and all, but how you guys got to taking personal shots at each other because you like different video games...well, I'll never understand that. I don't think I've ever even played any of the 2K series. I own Madden 2002 and 2004, and enjoy both. If Madden 2005 were just $20, I'd buy it again, but at $50, I just buy every other year. For all the talk about how great the ESPN game is, I would never even think about buying it if were $50. But at $20? Shoot. Sold. I'd buy John Elway's Quarterback 2005 for $20. I bet the gameplay is pretty even. I can hardly tell the difference between the graphics. If I like ESPN, price is going to make my choice from here on out. God bless capitalism.

July 17, 200422 yr Some stuff from that article I thought were important for the non-beleivers: 10.0 Presentation Quite simply, a sports game has never been this well-presented. This is the poster child for exemplary use of a license. 9.0 Graphics This is one handsome football game. Great animations, excellent player models, and cool ESPN integration make this a looker. 9.0 Sound Excellent contextual commentary utilizes the ESPN talent to the fullest. On-field sounds and music make it even better. 9.0 Gameplay Realistic and fun, packed with modes and features, this is a very complete game. Default difficulty is still too easy. 10.0 Lasting Appeal Can you make $20 stretch further? Online head-to-head and league play, an excellent Franchise mode, the collectible Crib, and cool VIP feature means you'll be playing this one 'til the cows come home. 9.4 OVERALL: (out of 10 / not an average) Are you kidding me? This game rivals Madden in every way and surpasses it in feature set... and it's only twenty dollars. Plus, it's out three weeks ahead of Madden. Fans of the series will love the improvements and continue to sing its praises. Those who haven?t tried it yet should give it a look at the low price point? it's easily worth fifty bucks, but you don't have to spend that! have to second Chris' statement. This is one of the finest sports experiences I've had the pleasure of enjoying. ESPN NFL 2K5 is a steal at $20. Even if you are a die-hard Madden fan, I highly recommend picking NFL 2K5 up and playing it for three weeks. Yes, go ahead and get Madden when it's out. Two great football games for just $70? That shouldn't be passed up by any gridiron fan. The custom soundtrack clips are about the coolest thing I've ever heard in a football game. I love having 'pac kick it whenever the LaDanian scores a TD. Great game, great price -- go out and get it.

July 17, 200422 yr I can't believe the game is 20 dollars. In all reality I would probably buy Madden if they both were 50 but no doubt now that I get this game.
July 17, 200422 yr And when the hell have you seen an excellent game for $20........NEVER.....All games below the normal price tags have always been NO GOOD games. Wake up man and stop dreaming. ESPN stinks. Im sick and tired of everyone saying ESPN is better than Madden when in reality ITS NOT! 459213[/snapback] Actually it is damn good business by ESPN because of people like you who are so hardcore into Madden that they are blinded by their loyalty because people will look at it being $20 dollars and give it a try because hey it's only $20 dollars. They might not be very profitable this year but when they go back up to $50 the will probably have more people buying the game just because that person enjoyed playing it so much. (probably won't go all the way up to $50, I would think they will still keep it below Madden so 40 is more realistic)
