Yes all the franchise stuff is nice in madden but for those who enjoy an actual game of football, I highly recommend ESPN 2k5. Neither game is perfect but with each being roughly the same game and with each having the edge in various categories, u really can't go wrong with spending $20 bucks for an incredibly gorgeous game. If u go for the madden then have at it cuz its almost assured that its going to be a very solid title every year, like I said I'm just trying to help open some eyes and help some pocketbooks, lol.
it's too bad they won't just have each year be an expansion-like upgrade cuz almost every sports title is just a slightly retooled and enhanced copy of last year's game with new rosters.
oh and my suggestion of buying espn 2k5 is mainly for x-box owners cuz I honestly haven't seen the gameplay of the ps2 version and can't give a fair grade of it. |
yea i only played half the season, but before that I ran through two simualted seasons to check out the draft and progression and stuff.
The progressions, from what I saw in two years of espn, were not that good. And the stats wernt acurate either. Portis made the probowl with like 800 yards rushing, I think one back had more than 1000. I set the game time to 3 min qtrs and what I think espn does is assume the computer plays wiht 3 min qtrs to.. This is cool that you can play a shorter qtr and not be behind in all the stats, but they failed to coreleate that to progression. They didnt take that into account, and almost everyone in the league dropped. Its these sort of things that madden has ironed out over the years. In madden this year old players have just as much value as younger players. Theres actually a reson to use guys over 30 in madden this year.
I dont want you guys to think im trying to start fights, heh, I own both games and spend a great deal of time playing them so there are a lot of little things that I have come to notice about these games that makes me pick madden. if you have fun with espn then by all means have a blast, and drink some beers.
