IS THERE ANYONE ELSE BESIDE ME THAT HAS ESPN?..lol i need some back up.

man no way madden is better then 2k5...


I'll admitt the running styles of espn are not that great, but other then that there isnt a ai flaw where you can do certain plays and that the defense just cant stop..

For me anytime a game has a go to play where the success rate is around 95% thats when you know they didnt create the better game.

Madden has some nice features, but it all falls short..2k4 vs 2004 was a good even match up as the franchise of madden was better yet the game play was tied but was more in favour of 2k4.

2k5 vs Madden 05, 2k5 released some early information about pre game shows, halftime shows and player of the game shows as well as a more improved weekly wrap up and draft analysis by Mel Kiper Jr..ea heard this and took it as a serious threat so they brought in the greatest ever update in the histroy of games...the tony bruno show..

Madden gameplay wise rarely changes which is dissapointing cause anyone who has played the game since 97 would see its almost the exact same thing with touch ups (duh lol)..madden should be the greatest sport game ever..but when a company can come in and deliever a game superior then yours after only a few years thats when you know you've been holding back.

Madden 04 to 05 was a bigger jump then what they have done before but it was cause of the competition..now that we know there wont be any other offical nfl game then expect the same game next year with updated rosters...

I used to be alot like you guys in thinking madden was better..but the more you play both the more you reliese what each game lacks. ESPN released each years version as though it was a new game rather then an update..

only a couple more days till espn is released for $40 so see for yourselfs.

I've been playing Madden 04/05 every day for around 4 months. I just can't get enough of it. Great depth, every day I am learning something new.

I don't think I could ask for much more in a game.

Meh, it's still a game based on a sh*t sport with a bunch of paddedtwinkies for players...

Until recently that was my opinion. Then i got Madden to see what the hype was all about. Now i think the NFL is great.

And anyway, comparing the NFL to the NRL is like comparing apples to oranges - two totally different things.

Honestly what will push 2k5 ahead of madden for me will be online play, that I can't wait for.

lmao...

there just the same as 04..did you even play 04?

When 04 came out people complained saying that all the audibles and extra's helped the offense but the defense had nothing..so ea then created the great :roll: hit stick..

Hit stick is without a doubt the dumbest thing brought in..it ruins the game and makes it look like an arcade rather then a sim (if you could call madden a sim anyway with all those dumb ass db ai and o-line ai).

Madden hasnt improved since 2003..2003 to this day is the best madden and that says alot seeing as how you could just lob over defenses but that was one of the few flaws..only way to stop it was to take control of the db which wasnt that hard.

I bought the american version of nfl 2k5 and its flatout the greatest game ever..the things you can do leave madden for dead..unlike madden sega actually release a whole new game rather then slight updates..

I play american football and trust me when i say this...madden is a long way from being realistic.

I wasn't referring to the HitStick i was referring the the greater control you have over the defense when ur in the line

in the line? man have you played the previous games? its the exact same as the rest...if anything the only real defensive improvement beside the hit stick was the better DB AI which is still crap..

its the exact same as the others...

Last time i checked i was ranked 3rd on EASO, you claim i havent mastered it yet even though i havent played in 2-3 weeks i bet i could whoop you with a nfl europe team.

The line changes are the exact same as 2002, 2003 and 2004..the do minor touch ups but overall it hasnt changed.

so r u up for a online game? ill be any nfle team and u pick ur colts lol.

Having no interest in NFL doesn't make me an idiot mate, it just means I'm not a wannabe yank... ;-)

... moron.

And he could counter by saying that with a name like strong latte your a wannabe Mediterranean Descendant.

Get over yourself mate. Live a little.
