. Plus, in ESPN the AI learns your tendancies... so if you run the same play or throw to the same receiver a lot the CPU will adjust and shut you down.

Not you but video games. I love realism and 400yds rushing is ridiculous. For $15 I won't mind though.

If that's really the case you should either tweak the sliders, player better teams, or bump up the difficulty. After a while that can't be too much fun.....

I just run playaction a lot and immediately run it with Vick. One thing I noticed about this game is that it is a lot harder to change direction with the defenders (vs madden)... so I just change direction a lot and Vick is so fast he just weaves through everyone.
And I don't know about the defensive AI... I do pretty much the same thing over and over and they still don't guard against the QB run.
I stink at defense though so the game was still interesting... I only won by 10.
Plus it was against a crappy team.

LOL, you know what's funny.. go to www.espnvideogames.com , go to the NFL2k5 and check out the forums... people are ripping this game up left and right.
Funny thing is the bugs and glitches they're referring to.... I haven't had any of then
..... but I've only played 3 games, so that could be why.

I got my free GamePro magazine in the mail a few days ago and they reviewed both Madden 2k5 and ESPN 2k5 back to back.
The winner: ESPN 2k5. They said both games are great, but Madden is just more of the same while ESPN is something fresh and new. You can't go wrong with either game, but both games are about on par now. It's now just down to personal preference.

I played about 6 games online yesterday w/ a buddy and there were only a couple instances of slowdown/lag. If it lags bad then it goes to a black screen "waiting for opponent" with a countdown until the machines get in sync again. Also just messing around we did an obsene amount of penalties - with so it will then ask the other player if they want to quit playing and take the win since the opponent has so many penalties. Cool feature if you get in a game with some little punk and you are aftaid of quitting (doing so hurts your profile). I love how the live presentation is just like single player, and how it makes you have the same up to date rosters to prevent any cheating (although Im sure people will find ways around this with due time). So far it has been the best $15 Ive bought in a looooong time

why can't you madden fans be open-minded and try it...MAYBE..just MAYBEEEE espn is better. I will try madden and THEn make my final decision. as of now, ESPN is veryyyy good. I don't have much to compare to. I got BLITZ for xmas and well..hahahah no comparison..although i was there were late hits that would count for penalties in espn so if you were getting pounded on by the other team, you could still release your anger on giving extremely hurtful late hits.

PS2 version is actually supposed to have BETTER 
graphics than the Xbox version (especially weather effects). I think the online features are different/better on the xbox because of LIVE though.

I don't care about the online stuff. System vs system are there any differences in the game?
Oh I finally played. Barely beat the Bears with the Dolphins. My first drive was like from the mid of the 1st quarter to the 2nd. I was like dang, I gotta play 15 minutes quarters now. But it speeded up once I got the hang of calling plays. It's pretty good and realistic that Madison and Surtain didn't get burnt.

So far from playing only exhibitions my only play complaint is that if you're running diagnolly (sp) and decide to run up he slows down a little too much. The change of direction is very realistic when you're cutting etc, but I think they slowed you down when you broke free and do the above. Other than that this game is badass.
