    Nova,

    I dunno man. Have you seen the video previews of ESPN and the new features? It's ridiculous. I'd prefer gameplay, but madden's graphics can't hold a candle.

    i bought both of them last year- madden 04 was definitely better imo so im goin to buy madden 05 next year. the gameplay in madden was way better than espn, and so was the online play. i might buy both, but madden 05 will be the first one i buy.

    Madden 04 blew espn out of the water. The gameplay is far superior. on ESPN when the runners turn it does not look realistic whatsoever it is like they jerk and then start running at a straight angle with their backs as straight as can be. it's like an old computer game. You can't beat EA sports. NCAA is the best, NBA LIVE is the best, March madness is the best, Fight night is the best, MVP baseball is the best, and MADDEN is the crown jewel!!!

    For what its worth at this year's E3 Video Game Expo EA NCAA Football 2005 won best sports game of the year, first Runner up was ESPN NFL Football 2005, and Madden 2005 wasn't listed. However it did finish as first runner up for best online Game of the Year.

    now you're onto something there. EA's ncaa football is the king of football games. best game ever, and thats coming from a baseball diehard.

    Yeah, I gotta agree with the NCAA Football props. That game was phenomenal. Unfortunately, I don't feel the same way about any of the other EA games I have. ESPN College Hoops was better than MM '04. And, after renting both games, I strongly prefer ASB '05 to MVP. IMO, it's not even close.

    Sorry Ruckus, I'm not a fanboy. I was hoping to sarcastically prevent fanboys from posting the usual fawning here. Looks like I failed. I just like a well made sports game. Doesn't matter to me who made it.

    I'm leaning towards the ESPN NFL game now. If I buy anything EA, it'll be NCAA 2005.
