Tiger Stripes Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 espn 20 dollar price tag is the way it is because thats all its worth. i would be shocked if i took ncaa 2k5 out of my ps2 to play espn again. im guessin this topic is pointless, the madden guys see it the madden way and the espn guys see it the espn way. hey at least we all still love the bengals.

ShulaSteakhouse Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I agree with B24 completely and have played Madden's games since '92 and the last two Madden games I just got completely sick of the series and Madden's inane drivel and annually re-hashed sound bytes while I played.So I heard good things about ESPN this year (Gamespot gave it a 9.2 and and an Editor's Choice Award) and picked it up last Wedsnday and I definitely am a convert now.It's got a few minor bugs that crop up once in a while, but nothing any other sports game doesn't have some of.The gameplay itself is not much different than Madden's any ways except the running game is much better and the passing game is much more realistic as are the animations and more fluid motion of the players you control. And it's got a few more moves/options but Madden 2005 has the "hit stick" so that should even things up more as far as play options go (ESPN has the "power up" when you get a chance to make a special move a lot more effective).Jesus it's $20 and worth a try for that price, I can't see why people wouldn't like both. I just have time for one or the other. I simply was tired of the same old freakin' Madden game recycled formula and presentation and having to pay $40-$50 for it every year.

LABengalsFan09 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Do you have to have X-Box for all of ESPN's presentation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staticx682004 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I am a big madden fan,but for 20 dollars this game kicks butt...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson85 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 madden 2005 is no doubt going to be the better game. I bought it too just because it was $20, it came out first and my madden 2004 i cant get to work. but madden is still got the better game play. madden 2004 gameplay was even better than that. but i guess its worth 20 bucks, but i wouldnt pay 50 for it. plus in madden 05 you get all the classics too. just hope the madden cover curse continues, then we dont have to worry about ray ray beating up on carson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
