Yep, ESPN is a great game indeed. I picked it up the day it came out, and while it is no Madden. It's definitely worthy of a buy. Anyone who passes it up is a moron. I'll tell ya one thing though, I saw the game for 15 bucks and selling wildly at Wal-Mart yesterday. People were aware that it came out, but unaware that the retail price was 20 bucks. Therefore. these kids were like freaking out saying "Liek OMG teh game should be liek 50! Get it!11!!one!1!" I really wanted to tell them the real story, but I decided to let them be really happy for getting 5 dollars off the game and not 35. You have to think though, good sales for 2K5 means more competitive sports games for the future, so I hope both companies do really well.
