Say what you want. Madden gets schooled in presentation, price, and fun factor.

I own both, and I play NFL2K5 MUCH more than madden.

I gotta say I enjoyed Madden more. Though for the price I would have bought ESPN if EA didn't drop their prices. But it's because of the ESPN 2k5 vs. Madden 2005 that we are in this mess to begin with. Sega forced EA to lower their price, which is classic capitalism. Two people competing for consumers and earning the highest profit. ESPN decided that they can't compete 2K5 vs. Madden head on, so they lower the price to get people to buy it. It's been the best move I've ever seen a company do in the video game market. Add the fact that NBA ESPN 2K5 shits all over NBA Live 2005 and is cheaper, and you have a situation that EA is forced to deal with. I went to Wal-Mart, and Madden is selling for 19.99 and that's the only way it's selling, EA is not making the profit it's not used to, and NBA Live is not even moving off the shelf, though NBA ESPN 2K5 is moving like crazy. In the end, Sega just broke EA's hold on sports games. If they can do something, like make a boxing game with all the greats not on Fight Night, like Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez and other great boxers, and put out a great baseball game, then EA is in serious trouble. They lucked out with the NFL, but Sega is not a stranger to the video game world, and I hope they can break EA's wannabe monopoly. The sad part, at one time EA was hoping Sega would let them on their system, now they are trying to break Sega.

^And exactly these kind of opinions should motivate EA to either lower their price or step their game up (no pun intended) or at least not get even worse ... if it wasn't for SEGA ESPN, shit would suck. Hard. Strikethrough 'would'. Shit will suck, eventually. It's a matter of time.

I think that EA games won the NFL war, in fact I know, but I think Sega needs to start doing other sports that EA does. Can you imagion if Sega started doing boxing, race cars, no need for NASCAR, do import racing which is more popular in the video game world anyways, they hold down the NBA, and if they can compete in baseball. There is other things besides football. Though football is the biggest, Sega can still takeover the other sports. Shit, fuck Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh is the new golf star now, and put out Williams sisters tennis, or anyother star. I mean the world has not ended in this rivalry, in fact I think by buying off the NFL because of Sega, EA is admitting that there is a rivalry and Sega needs to be taken seriously. Honestly, if they didn't know before, now they do. Personally, I say we start a boycott of EA sports games. We the consumers will not take kindly to the monopoly of sports games that EA is trying. I personly like Madden 2005 over ESPN 2K5, BUT, I will not stand for ESPN 2K5 not being in the market, since it's because of 2K5 that Madden was cheaper at 29.99, and now 19.99. I say we start a boycott of EA games, it's easy now since they suck at basketball. Start e-mailing people, start spreading it around, boycott EA games.
