All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I'm slightly dissapointed here, I think Eric Moulds (Barely better than Santana Moss, and faster and stronger than ratings indicate.) and Spikes deserve better but oh well. It's nice to see Travis Henry getting some nice regocnition for once. No Lee Evans, which means he'll be ranked under a 82.
Not to worry, we can always *ahem* tweak the ratings a bit. ESPN is gonna blast Madden in terms of gameplay this year. They may not beat them in sales, but the game will be better. ESPN 2003 and 2004 actually ranked a bit better than the Maddens they faced on IGN.com.

you forgot to mention a few major things.. on top of the fact that ESPN comes out a month earlier than madden (i just preordered my copy on ebgames.com for 7/20/04 delivery)... they have reduced thier price to 19.99$!!!
you really CANT buy it at that price.. and being that it will be out so soon.. and the game play last year was better.. and will be even more improved with this version.
if you havent ever played it.. the graphis ARE better.. it is very noticable.
so people are stuck on madden.. mainly because they have been playing madden for over 10 years..
i think ESPN really got the right idea this year.. their marketing last year was horrible.. they released the game for the same price as madden AND released it after madden.. so everyone already had madden and most didnt go out and buy another game..
that will all change this year..i think a TON of people will get both.. and actually play and compair themselves.. and then they will see.

I just read that about the price and thought it was some kinda joke at first! But I didn't know they had moved the date up - last I saw it was scheduled for about a week after Madden, in late August. I wonder if this was the plan all along.
THe only semi-disturbing thing I read was that the PS2 graphics are supposedly better than XBOX?!?! WTF is up with that?
Thats a great site shadowhawk, thanks - there's also some videos on there:

Not a problem.

How so? The only thing I like better about Madden is I like the Hit Stick a bit better than Maximum Tackle. You'd think all those Turkey Legs would finally kill Mr. Madden.. Hopefully before he makes millions by re-releasing the same game with a new cover boy next year. :snicker2:

I have read countless reviews on both games and it is hard to judge Madden this year cause it isn't even out yet. But all the reviews I have read say the mostly the same thing. NFL2K5 is getting closer to Madden but Madden still takes the cake, at least this year.

i meant to say that at 19.99.. your really can't afford NOT to buy it.. it is so inexpensive.. that all the people that are jonesing for training camp and just anything football, like everyone on this board.. they will all go get it...
and that is all ESPN needed to do... just get the game in the peoples hands and let them decide by playing them both.. because people will buy madden.. it is going to happen.. but the battle between the two will really be on this year.. and you will get valid points from alot more people.. as opposed to people in years past that just dogged ESPN/2K football because it wasnt madden.. but had no true knowledge of the game..

i dont know what reviews you read.. but last year, madden lost to ESPN football by a hair on ign, which is the best game review site imho.
