July 23, 200422 yr Remember how you tried to ruin the ESPN NFL 2k5 thread Marlins2k3?? :mischief2 :shifty But I'm not like you. I'll let you have your little thread. Enjoy the wait guys, I'm sure Madden will be another good football game this year!
July 23, 200422 yr Author LOL Go Ahead. I wouldn't mind. Its a message board. You can post whatever you want.
July 23, 200422 yr ill gladly step in and say madden will suck. nothing more than madden 2004 with new rosters. enjoy the success madden had b4 cuz ESPN beat EA out of the gates and won over many madden fans with the 20 bucks price tag and gameplay. IGN and Gamespot say ESPN is best football game on the market this year,period!
July 23, 200422 yr Author That's cool. But clearly the best sports game according to the Critics Awards above is Madden NFL 2005. Plus I'd rather be playing the game then play Carmen Electra or Steve-O.

July 23, 200422 yr Author If you know how to read then you can read what's above in the first post of this thread. I think Madden has a better game play engine. I played ESPN and I just don't like it. You might like it though. I just like the way Madden plays. Its just smoother. EDIT: Both games received awards. I rather play Madden though.

July 23, 200422 yr Author OK ESPN may be good. . If you were to have a chance to get every gamer and ask them yourself ESPN or Madden, Im sure it will be Madden. The majority of people will go with Madden. No game is better. Its just a matter of what game people like. You buy a game because it's what you like. And what you think is worth the money to spend on. But that does not mean no one likes ESPN. Obviously people like the game. But majority will go with Madden. Its like saying McDonalds or Burger King. Id prefer McDonalds.
