ESPN NFL Football is just a couple of weeks away. Any reviews online yet for Xbox?

Play NFL2K3, imagine looking out the player helmet. Congrats, you've played NFL2K4 (ESPN Football)

That's such BS.

Nice review, Jeff. Where'd you get your copy?

Seriously, though...
I've seen reviews on XPlay on Tech TV, and read reviews in Game Informer Magazine.

X Play gave ESPN [Adam Sessler Voice] a 4......out of 5 [/Adam Sessler Voice]. Here's the online review....http://www.techtv.com/xplay/reviews/...501127,00.html *** (If you don't watch XPlay, you won't get this. Sorry.

Game Informer gave the XBox Version of ESPN a 9.25, and the online-lacking-Madden a 9.0.

I have Madden, and will most likely trade it in for ESPN when it comes out next week. I really miss Sega Football. Madden's a great game - but I can't play the Buccaneers on anything other than a Sega game.

Explain to me how the game of football has changed in the last 12 months

Except for changing around the roster. The only real difference is the first-person option and a few graphical tweaks.

I think Jeff purposely seeks out threads he can crap in.

Well guys you have to remember this is coming from a guy who passes every down when he plays the 2k series

Chris- thanks for the link (and for not crapping on my thread). If we can get back to the game, I wouldn't mind an intelligent discussion. I've been playing Madden for the last couple of years, but am going to jump to ESPN this year for the Xbox Live support.

Absolutely, why bother when running plays typically LOSE ground.

It's not a thread crap. I question the value and wisdom of buying a game which is basically the same game you bought last year with a few new bells and whistles. It's not like they can change the game at all, add new rules, change the way the game is played, or anything like that.
