Before the NFL video game competition series slides into oblivion, I thought I'd see who thought which NFL game was the best this season. With the whole licensing agreement, EA Sports will have sole possession of the rights to use player names, stadiums, etc.
This year, after playing both games several times, I'm kinda partial to the ESPN edition of the 2004 season.
I liked ESPN NFL2k5 better, maybe because I own the game. It's easy to play and not too complicated. However, my biggest complaint has to be the voice. Every player sounds like a black player in the post-game interview.
Also, it's likely that SEGA will also lose the contract with ESPN, as EA Sports got a deal with them for 15 years. Hopefully, that'll probably end the Madden and start something new from EA.
I haven't played 2k5, but Madden's always been the best football game, and I can't see that changing.
I am very Madden loyal.
ESPN. I don't like EA sports. The interface in the Madden series blows and I prefer to do the management side of things. ESPN is so much faster.
Me too.Quote:

I know they do but they royally suck at it. From what I played of 2004 it took forever to load any menu. If I wanted to sign a tight end I had to scroll through half the positions to even see the tightends because they pooled all the positions together.Quote:

ESPN schooled Madden this year it was better in nearly every department and it has a low price.
