ESPN Football 2005 for $19.99!!!!

Um just curious but does your problem stem from spelling or reading comprehension?

 

I've been doing some research on this game, and they've added a TON of features, and most of them look to really bring something new to video game football. It keeps track of your tendencies and the tendencies of other coaches/players online, and a multitude of online stat tracking so you can actually scout your online opponent. It has daily schedules that you can set so you can have each QB work on reading defenses for an hour on tuesday, reads and progressions for 2 hours on wednesday, etc. and you have so many hours you can allocate for many different tasks, and you have to strike a balance between team fatigue and team morale. I'm a Madden fanboy by any definition, I have a copy of madden for some system for every single year it's been made, but Sega looks to have the goods this year. There's a couple previews on www.teamxbox.com and xbox.ign.com that should give you the gist of what I'm talking about. The franchise mode looks incredibly detailed with the way stat tracking and tendency tracking is handled. I'm really stoked about this game, and I've never really cared much for the series except for the initial one on the dreamcast.

 

On Madden is there anyway in the settings where the actual gameplay looks like this? Only time I've ever seen it is on replays.

Instant Instant Replay Mode, but you won't find that exact match considering you don't own that game yet.

 

Yep... ESPN was WAAAAY better than madden last year.

 

I was acutally referring to 2004, just used a screenshot from 05.

 

There's a rumor going around that ESPN 2k5 will be out at the end of July, beating Madden to market by 3 weeks (until EA gets wind of it and pushes Madden up.) 20 bux and coming out before Madden would get this title into a lot of homes and might actually start a real competition for next year. No matter how good it is, Sega needs the sales numbers to be better than last year.

 

Both look great

 

Madden 2005 comes out Aug. 9th I'm not sure how the end of July would be 3 weeks? Plus the later the football games come out the better. Makes the roster a little closer to being correct.

 

ESPN 2005 will be out July 20th. On XBOX, ESPN provides roster updates throughout the season via XBOX Live.
