Anubody who would choose the garbage of that ESPN gameplay over Madden is nucking futz!! I bought ESPN two years ago to see that all the hype was about, before EA got the exclusing NFL license. I felt like I was playing 10 yard fight on nintendo. The guys moved in straight lines and there was nowhere close to the 360 degree of movement realism you find in Madden. It was brutal. I gave ESPN the nod in off the field stuff, cause if you had a hard drive for your PS2, you'd get the halftime highlights in motion, and crib mode was alright. And being able to decide how you wanted to structure contracts was great. But their gameplay was horrendous. Ugh. I traded that in for Madden the day Madden came out. Worst money I ever spent on a video game.

general question:
what do i need to buy to play ps2 version of madden online? is it worth it? is playing on the PC online just as good? i have been playing madden for years, but killing the AI gets boring after awhile. |

Are you killing the AI on All Madden? If you are, adjust the AI sliders. Just a thought....
At any rate, to play online on PS2 you need a network adaptor and of course an internet connection. And an ethernet cable. Then away you go. I've never thought playing a console sports game on PC was ever worthwhile, but some people swear by it. A matter of preference I guess. |

I agree with DJ. I have been playing the daylights out of NCAA 07 on my 360 and obviously I can't compare graphics but gameplay is still inferior to NFL 2K5. EA tends to make the AI in their games a little obvious. Also I have seen one too many "ghost" tackles in this game. Its like...the defender has generated so much Chi in his chest that right before he has a chance to touch the defender.....the defender is already being tackled and falling on the floor by some mystical force that is right in front of his chest and shoulder pads.. One thing I love is replay where you can clearly see these things happen. I still curse the day that EA got exclusivity. But I can't wait to see Madden on the 360 and I hope that EA actually got to create the NEW and IMPROVED dome.

The NCAA gameplay has always been different than the Madden gameplay. There's no comparison. I would hope ESPN's gameplay would match NCAA's. sadly for me it didn't even reach that. Players don't run in straight lines. That's just too unreal.

Wow....I guess we are playing 2 different games them. I am playing NCAA and there things occuring in that game that are flat out unforgivable. As far as technigue strategy and stuff like that of course its different (if thats what you mean by gameplay). I am speaking from the technical aspect....too many people walking through other people and coaches, ghost/dragonball z type tackles and kicks, subpar commentating....so on and so on.

You can't be serious. The animations in the 2k series were pathetic. Madden's were so much more realistic.
