MADDEN vs ESPN football game (2005)

[cyman3]

i hate to bring the 20th thread on this subject, but i need ur help.

this is the situation. i initially fell in love with the ESPN football series (aka 2K series). but one summer, a friend introduced MADDEN to me and i began playing that. i see the advantages/disadvantage of both games (ex- Graphics for ESPN are much better and the plays are so smooth as they look like movie clips. but madden is more realistic- imo).

well, which one should i buy?

btw- i hear ESPN football is coming out on the 20th for $20!!! brand new! thats definitely a PLUS!

also- as much as i like basketball and like playing basketball... basketball games do not match up against FOOTBALL GAMES!

I've always favored Madden over ESPN. I've just always found the gameplay to be superior.

But, NCAA Football has trumped Madden for me the past few years, so I won't have time to try ESPN with it coming out only a week after NCAA.

I've had ESPN NFL 2K5 for a little ove a week now. And for $20, this is the best football game i've ever played.

yea, i really enjoy playing ESPN football...

i got to the point where im really good now

usually the final score in my season is...

70 to 3 using the DEFAULT falcons team on PRO level.

so i decided to challenge myself... i put it on ALL-PRO level and tried a season w/ the CHARGERS (worst team in the game). the first preseason game was vs DOLPHINS. i cant beat them. i tried 3 times...

the chargers SUCK.
