Football for 06

Archived from groups: alt.games.video.xbox (More info?)

Well, looking at the reviews and the lack of major changes in gameplay and
presentation, it looks like I will be sticking with (not out of protest or
fanboy reasons) ESPN 2k5 this season. I was hoping this years madden would
have been a major improvement, especially in presentation.

Anyone sticking with 2k5 too?

Yes...out of protest and it doesn't hurt that Madden hasn't been improved
much.

With your quote "the lack of major changes in gameplay and
presentation" you proved you are an ESPN fanboi. There are MANY changes
and the game if far deeper than it was before and it was still the
better of the two games last year (only slightly, but it was still the
winner). Now the running game has been improved, the passing game has
gone through a REVOLUTION and everything about the game is tighter and
feels like a much more polished product. This year's Madden is worth
every single penny of the $50 I paid for it.

I plan to stay with 2K5 as well, I still enjoy the game online. Stayed up
half the night to get 5 games in. I refuse to give my money to this take
over of the NFL, EA can keep their game.

I hope that ESPN 2K5 will be one of those "top-selling titles" that will
be backward-compatible for the 360. I'd think that it would be.

I think EA is about the only distributer I really genuinely dislike.
Unfortunately, they bought up so many companies that by now it's almost
impossible to quit buying their games.

The lackluster "presentation" in Madden 06 is keeping me from it for one
more year.
