    I read ign.com's previews for each. On paper a tougher call than I'd like. I'm getting burned out on the front end menus of EA sports games though. I really don't like them. That aside, which game should earn my $50?

    I'm getting ESPN, just like last year. They've redone the graphics for the xbox, so it'll look a hell of a lot better than madden, which is ported over from the ps2. Also they've added more ESPN stuff to it. Madden will get owned by ESPN, at least on the xbox..

    other than one occasion, i've never been done wrong by easports. on the other hand, i've bought lots of non-easports crap, that was only a waste of money. for that reason, i am easports-only.

    Just saw that Terrell Owens is going to be the coverboy for ESPN 2005, so there's some points off right away. :)

    Madden 05 all the way. Can't wait to play with Clinton Portis running for the Redskins.

    not like it matters to me since ESPN pretty much stayed in my xbox last year and I forgot what the box looked like..

    EA Sports just announced that their games will be on Xbox Live, starting with NCAA 2005. About fucking time, I say.

    Madden is the only EA Sports game I prefer over Sega’s equivalent, and I didn't feel that way until the 2003 release. Too early to call, but I’ll probably stick with Madden for another year. If only you could take the best from both games.
