I don't want to start any wars but I was wondering if anyone has played both of these games, and how you think they compared. I played Madden last year, and picked up ESPN this year. I'm happy with ESPN so I probably wont pick up Madded unless people say it's much better than last years. So what are your impressions, only if you've played both.
Anyone played both Madden and ESPN?

Madden has a nice franchise thing, with the EA Radio and all the little insight...but ESPN just looks and plays better. Plus ESPN looks like a REAL game of football with the ESPN branding...ESPN for 20 bucks, a steal.

Madden's franchise and gameplay is much better. ESPN has the presentation and graphics edge though. Online play is good on both IMO.

ESPN is better in graphics and halftime shows, Madden is better in everything that matters, such as online, franchise, and gameplay. I did miss the ESPN presentation for the first 30 minutes I owned Madden, but then I remembered why I sold ESPN in the first place.
I've heard other things... Complaints about Madden that you can still throw a good pass without planting your feet, running 10 yards backwards or to one side of the field and throwing across to the other side for 20 yards. Or being able to juke and stuff but not break tackles while running. Or that its just like 2004.
I'll have to find out for myself tomorrow. Though I don't see how either would have the edge online.

Madden is better online because I could never get a game going on ESPN because the servers were always down. The game is similar to 2004 in terms of gameplay, but there are huge differences. For gameplay, the jump button has been replaced with a ball protect button, try kicking a FG towards the end of a game and see what happens, and not to mention the changes to the D were brilliant.
I've never, ever, ever had a problem with 2k5 online.
I'd say 2k5 is better online because it tracks drops in the stats and gives you the win when someone drops.
The changes to the D were the only major differences. A lot of the same complaints on offense are there from last year.
I'm not looking to bash Madden, they're both great games. But is it $30 better, if its better at all?

For the online, I could never get a complete game because of lag and servers crashing. Madden and EA seems to have a problem with quitters not adequately being punished (the game doesn't count, see the Madden online thread), but at least it works. If ESPN finally fixed up their servers, then I won't argue.
Personally, I think Madden is better/worth what I paid for and I'm going to have a blast with it for months. To me, it seems "money plays" have been cut back drastically. As for the running game, it feels more realistic when a back can't outpower an entire D, so I don't view that as a legit complaint. I can see why some would prefer ESPN, but to me Madden's depth is amazing.

i say espn blows madden out of the water so far (have and palyed both pretty extensivly)
the ai in madden cheats a good beat on all madden difficultly. theres never any penalities, the comp ai gets away with so much pass interference it isnt funny. The defense seems to make miracle tackles out of nowhere and the game just plays too fast. they adverstise all these features about defensive audibles yet ithe snap on offense happens so fast theres no real time to adjust.

ESPN does NOT look better than Madden. I never thought I'd say that Madden is the best looking football game, but its true. The field textures in ESPN are very bland.. it looks like a solid green colored field (no grass effects, or specks or whatever you want to call it). Madden is way better than ESPN, but if you're on a budget, ESPN is a good choice as well. If you can afford Madden 2005, go for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't hold it against you if you picked ESPN because of the price tag.

hey red gopher, i dont know what you mean , but personally i think espn looks that much better.
im no fan boy, but the animations are better, the gang tacklings cooler, the face textures look way better, and oh yes, the body models are near dead on.
im no fan boy, but the animations are better, the gang tacklings cooler, the face textures look way better, and oh yes, the body models are near dead on.
Let's do some comparions just for the heck of it.
Defensive AI -
ESPN : Awful. I could have 3 guys on Randy Moss and he'd still get open. I don't care how good of a receiver you are, when I put 3 guys on you there's no way you should get the ball. End of story. And when I put 8 men in the box to stop the run, there should not be big runs broken out multiple times in a row. It's almost as if there is no defense in ESPN, even on the highest difficulty settings.
Madden : Almost TOO hard. Definitely better than ESPN, though. Receivers aren't unstoppable and its easier to stuff the run. Defensive players generally do what you tell them to do. Much better than ESPN.
Offense -
ESPN : Still too easy. If you have a back like Jamal Lewis you can easily run him over and over again and he's impossible to stop. Average wide receivers are too good (Kevin Johnson should not be as good as Terrell Owens, yet he is) and good wide receivers are pretty much unstoppable. It's too easy to run with the QB - when Kyle Boller and Chad Pennington can consistantly get 10 yard runs there's a problem.
Madden : Still too easy. QBs can gun the ball 50 yards downfield off the wrong foot - even QBs that don't have that kind of arm strength like Bulger. The new option plays are fantastic but the receivers sometimes don't take the best route - I've seen a few times where a slant route would've gotten my receiver 10 or 15 yards easily yet he chose to go deep even though there was coverage there. The running game is a challenge, though, but someone who is good with the stick and jukes can still take an average back and turn him into Barry Sanders.
Presentation :
ESPN - There's no question, ESPN blows Madden out of the water. The instant replays, the graphical detail, the Sportscenter recaps - everything works to perfection here. It should embarass EA and Madden how GOOD ESPN presents its football game.
Madden - In a word? Bland. Textures are boring, player models are cartoonish, refs, cheerleaders, and coaches all look horrible and the plays are too small on the screen making it hard to see what every players assignment is. Madden needs a complete overhaul of it's presentation on the next console go around in order to remain in the top spot. Gameplay only goes so far before you realize you're playing a game that looks like it's graphical engine peaked 3 years ago.
Value -
ESPN - Worth $20 but not much more. I would've been mad had I paid $50 for this. There's been numerous bugs both online and offline since the game was released and Sega has been working very...very....slowly....to get things working right. The game is fun to play if you don't expect a very realistic football experience. Definitely good to play with casual fans or new fans - people who don't know details about football.
Madden - Still the king when it comes to the closest actual football you can play on a console. But is it worth $50? If you bought last years, no. It's not THAT much different. Yeah, it's harder, but that's about it. Defense is more fun to play, for sure. Just think about this - would you pay $50 for updated rosters, option plays on offense (which only work half the time), and more hands-on defensive stuff? If so, Madden is a good value for you.
To me, Madden can't be beat. I'm a big football fan and I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about the subject so Madden is my game. But when I was a new fan I could definitely see myself getting into ESPN more. It's "friendlier" to the casual football gamer. These really are two completely different games and it's unfair to either to compare them like I did. So, in conclusion, if you're a big football fan who wants a sim like experience, go Madden. If you're a casual fan, go ESPN. If you're a football nut and can't get enough, get both.

Did you try the different difficulties or just the default one? The default one is too easy, but as the difficulty increases there are more dropped balls/better defense.[/quote]
I've played on all the difficulties. The dropped balls thing is crap. The game will have a wide open receiver drop the ball quite a bit but when he's double covered he'll come down with it.
The computer making your receivers drop balls they should catch isn't good AI - more than anything it's just annoying.
I realize dropped passes happen in real football, but to me if you have a guy like Tony Gonzalez wide open up the middle and there's no defender anywhere around him he should catch the pass 99% of the time. If he has Ray Lewis and Ed Reed both him he shouldn't be making circus catches and coming down with the ball. That's how a football game should be - that's how Madden is. ESPN has a ways to go before it catches up gameplay wise.

I've been playing ESPN since it came out and just picked up Madden yesterday. I have to say — I played one game in Madden and then put ESPN back in. I couldn't get over the presentation differences between the two, and IMO, Madden's graphics just stink. Also, after being on ESPN for a few weeks, it seems Madden plays a little slower. Anyone else notice that?

madden slower? wow i think madden is way too fast gameplay wise. the DB's And linebackers cheat in coverage all the time. you can have two steps on a guy, throw the ball and somehow they have magical make up speed to run in front of you and knock the ball down.
i hate how you cant use the alt controls in maden. juking is a big part of the running game and its a complete chore thanks to the fact that you have to stop on the run to point your juke the way you have to go.
espns ai may be a bit quirky at times but you can also set the catch slider up to make it better.
also, play the running game on legend diffculty and tell me its easy as anything to run up the D. The AI, minus a few passing D quirks, is pretty good in my eyes.
madden is just cheap, and ive played 4 games now.
I play on all madden by the way, and no matter how much you change up your plays, the computer defense AI always switches its d line and LBs to the side the plays going, everytime. it leads me to believe the defensive ai playcalling is seeing the play you select and making the perfect choice everytime, cheating completely.

I shouldn't have to move the catch slider around at all. In real football, a wide open all-pro reciever isn't going to drop the ball more than once in a game if that. Also it seems like you're complaining cuz madden has good AI. I suggest you switch up your plays more and take advantage of the playmaker features if you are having trouble with the defnsive AI. Also, in real football you'd have to stop or slow down to throw move anyhow so I don't see any problems there it just makes it more real, and pulling off moves seems like about 5 times more work in ESPN anyhow.

um im not saying madden has better ai, im saying madden has cheaper AI. i switch up my plays all the time, i know what im doing.
i think madden makes you overplay the playmaker feature way too much, theres very few times ina nfl game, maybe 3 plays at most a team makes, when you know they are changing the play during it.

I've got both and both are pretty good for different reasons. ESPN definitely has better presentation and really good animations. Of course sometimes I feel like all I get are animations.
Madden's gameplay feels better to me overall, of course that's the game I've been playing for the last few years. I really think it does a better job of estimating how a real game goes. The defensive AI is finally decent. ESPN you can still drop back and throw bombs and get away with it.
The online thing where you don't get the win if they disconnect does piss me off about Madden.
Of course is it $30 better than ESPN is a legitimate question,For a casual football fan, no. There isn't enough difference...for a hardcore footballer, Madden is the only way to go.

You are smoking crack. Most people say ESPN is better lookin and some Madden fans even say it was a step down from last years game graphic-wise.
I can't stand playing ugly graphics so I like ESPN better. Players with tight jerseys look retarded as hell. The way they throw the ball doesn't look right either. I use to be a Madden fan until the first NFL2k came out to Dreamcast. Thats when I started to like ESPN better. The controls felt almost the same, even the gameplay. The reason why is, Visual Concepts used to make the early versions of Madden NFL.
[quote name='BigNick']I like football, and pick up old copies of madden when they get cheap. $20 for ESPN is an awesome deal. I got mine for $16 at target. So what I am saying is, if you are a casual football gamer, and have no ties to madden, get ESPN.[/quote]

I just played madden on ps2 and I was very dissapointed. Granted I didn't play it on xbox but going from 2k5 on my xbox to madden on ps2 was a step down. Maybe it's just that 2k5 is fresh and a nice change. Madden is the same old thing. Back in the day I always liked Gameday better until madden really became the better game. I think it's time for madden to get revamped. There's no way it's worth $50 more IMO. Oh yeah, that nyko fan controller f*cking sucks.
