Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted June 9, 2004 Awesome stuff. The VIP system and classic games mode should be pretty cool. I liked ESPN better than Madden last year and it looks like this year won't be any different. I'll have to settle for the PS2 version (unless I decide to get an Xbox), but either way, ESPN NFL 2005 should kick ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 This game looks so good. Last year I picked ESPN over Madden and was planning on Madden this year, but I'm really impressed. I may end up getting both, or maybe just ESPN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Flyboy Report post Posted June 10, 2004 Has VC done it? Beat Madden in his own GAME? We will see. 2K3 > Madden 2003.. I didn't play 2K4, but I bought Madden 2004 and was hardly impressed. Madden hasn't really done anything this year that makes me say, "WOW! I MUST GET THE GAME!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Der Kommissar 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 ESPN NFL 2K5 = $19.99? A excellent game for that price? I am there. I remember buying ESPN's College Basketball game for $30. Great game, too bad it was filled with mucho bugs. As long as ESPN NFL 2k5 doesn't suffer from that, that price is an absolute steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted June 10, 2004 If the $19.99 price tag is true, it makes my decision that much easier. I was going to buy ESPN anyway, but in doing so, not only do I (presumably) get a better football game, but I save $30. Snoogans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ESPN College Hoops is an EXCELLENT game -- there are a few bugs here and now, but overall I enjoy it. It's really a great basketball game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just hated when I was in a conference tournament and it suddenly started looping infinitely, or when I couldn't reload my dynasty mode after awhile, usually right when I had my team the way I liked it. I wanted to lead IUPUI to another title to another National Championship, dammit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 I was already going to be buying it over Madden anyway...even with Live play heading to Madden this year. ESPN was just alot more fun last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never had these... I had a player dive for the ball and they stay down FOREVER. And, some gameplay errors such as on a fast break if you pass the ball ahead then CPU (for either the CPU team or YOU) will jump and usually ALWAYS miss the ball meaning an easy lay-up/dunk, on a fast break when you have a player in front and they just STOP at the three-point line, and some other mistakes, but that's about it.

LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 That article was lovely. I want ESPN now, poor 2K4 just seems lame in comparison. And for 20 bucks? I don't see why you would pay 30 bucks extra for Madden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tino Standard 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 That price has to be a typo. I've always been a Madden loyalist and I was planning on getting it again this year, but shit, if ESPN really is $19.99, I'll buy both just for the hell of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lack of sales? Lack of interest? I'm talking Canadian money here, though. It's $14.99 for a donut around here. And that's without tax. Sorry, my mistake. Even if you convert Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars, aren't those prices still relatively expensive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Der Kommissar 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 I think Kotz or somebody needs to come in here with a "Whoosh!" Anyway, yeah, games are entirely overpriced in Canada. I remember paying like $80 to $90 Canadian for games I could get for $40 to $50 in the US. I believe it has something to do with importing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ced 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 Sounds like ESPN is busting out their trump card against Madden's Exclusive Rights to the NFLPA. Madden: "Ha! You can't say any player names or likenesses!" ESPN: "But our game is going to be 20 bucks! Ha! Try doing that with that billion dollar agreement you just signed." Madden: "OMG! I AMZ THE PWN3D!"

ESPN: "LOL2K5 U SUMBITCH!!!111" Does that liscense thing go into effect this year for Madden? Because the price for 2k5 would make sense if they don't have a players liscense (because they wouldn't have to pay for the players liscense). And if thats the case, then I really cant see ESPN selling that well despite the low price. Every review will mention the fact that its not liscensed and most people who buy sports games will be confounded by the fact that they can't play as their favorite player. And I know that you could go in and edit players, but with a football game that would be an exceptionally long and difficult task. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
