Bobcat Bengal Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 good post....I'd have to say Madden....theres a reason why its so popularIts about as authentic a football game there isnot taking anything away from ESPN though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 I am just as much a madden fan as anyone, but after playing like 10 seasons in it, I decided to TRY espn. It sucked initially because everything was different buttons and gameplay was different. But I gave it a shot and it BLOWS away Madden in 2004. I sure hope Madden is better in 2005, b/c I love the EA Profile thing, but I wont discount ESPN next year. I will definately give them a try.ESPN 2004 is more realistic looking. Better tackles and much MORE tackles. Just so much better in so many ways. It does lack the whole moving the team to different cities and managing the finacial end, etc, which is cool, but gameplay and realism is much more important to me and ESPN takes this portion.Just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Oh yea.. I never played Madden 2004 again except once, where I turned it off because it sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kchrpm Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 I think both are good in different ways, the running in ESPN 2004 is too effective (partially because are too easy to break, partially because they don't have any inertia when running so they can cut faster than Barry), Madden doesn't look as realistic, overall it's just up to each person to try em out and choose for themselves.

CTBengalsFan Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 ESPN 2k5 is gonna be $19.99 as a means of convinving madden fans to give them a shot.I've always been a Madden fan myself, but I'm gonna have to give ESPN a try this year, especially with all the improvements they're making.

TecmoFever Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I don't think either game is nearly as realistic or has better graphics than Tecmo Super Bowl on the original Nintendo. Where else can you play with Mike Singletary and Eric Dickerson?Plus, we all know that punters routinely boot 80-yard punts and quarterbacks can throw it from one end zone to the other. I especially like the ability to swerve back and forth to keep would-be tacklers at bay.Tecmo Super Bowl all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I especially like the ability to swerve back and forth to keep would-be tacklers at bay. yeah, i don't understand why real football players don't use this method. it obviously works. wouldn't it be great if dillon decided to give it a shot while playing for NE two options in that game. 1) use buffalo...nobody can catch thurman thomas...ever.2) well...except maybe lawrence taylor. use the giants and get a sack or loss of yards against the rb for literally 95% of the plays.man, i love that game.

I mean have people even bothered to look at espn football...or they just say i'll go with madden, because it has a new roster update.

Kchrpm Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Graphics are not the most important part of a game, so simply watching a video will never tell you which is the better game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Graphics are not the most important part of a game, so simply watching a video will never tell you which is the better game. that is the simple reason why madden is better than espn. espn has great graphics but the gameplay sucks.

Kirkendall Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Madden 2005 was rated better than ESPN 2005 by multiple gaming publications.. I have read some good articles about the advancements of Madden and suggest most of you do the same; it looks super SWEET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jditty47 Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 yes madden is better...if u want just graphics with the ability to throw all day and run all day cuz juke moves make u god and the secondary on defense doesnt react properly...u buy espn...if u want real game play with real situations and defenses that react correctly and the fact that u have to work and actually run a offense and defense, then u get madden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kchrpm Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 jditty-I guess you haven't noticed that in ESPN good running backs can typically run over 2 or 3 people on a single play. In fact, the champion of the ESPN national tournament has only one passing play in the final game. All he did was run with Ricky Williams, and even though his opponent knew he was going to run and stacked against the run, he could not stop him.
