(More customer reviews)To be fair, I've been a Madden fan since 1993. I played it on my C64, Genesis, Playstation, PS2 and the xbox and gamecube versions as well(final 2 were not at my house). I hear people talk on here about 2001 and 2002 being the same so the went to Sega. I've also played Sega football games for a long time (since Joe Montana Football in the early 90s on my PC) I've also played the NFL 2k series on the dreamcast. Always seemed more of an arcade type game more then a true sim like Madden. I take issue with people that say NFL 2k series(espn) players look more realistic. Have you seen the way the player walk? There is no looseness. Also there was a comparision between NCAA and NFL 2k? What the heck is that about, it's 2 different types of games, EA's team for NCAA and Madden is separate. There has been slight upgrades in graphics for NCAA 2005 but that's not what I am talking about.
I'm picking up both games because they both offer something different.
Pluses for ESPN football.
1. Breakdown of gameplay is really good.
2. Playbook is deep.
3. Day by day breakdown is cool, TBD how useful this is to the game.
4. Pregame, Halftime and postgame is cool, but takes a lot of time.
5. Cool $20 price tag
Minuses for ESPN football
1. Player movement is questionable.
2. Menus hurt speed of game(I like to just get to the next week.)
3. Crib is just stupid
Pluses for Madden football
1. Deep realistic playbook
2. Coaches and assitant coaches in the game
3. Deepest franchise mode
4. Importing classes from NCAA football is the best.
5. Tony K. radio broadcast(unsure if this is really a plus)
6. Ability to play past versions of Madden
7. Smooth best looking and most human like players for any game.
Minuses for Madden football
1. Steep $60 price tag.
2. Bad Announcing
