How long have you played Madden?
How long have you played ESPN?
I rest my case...
In you first sentence you stated the game is not better than Madden..
How would you know with the time you have invested in ESPN...
Your argument has many holes..and this is a "DEMO" of ESPN football, and you are passing judgement of a completed product "Madden 2004" to a demo..
I don't know what to tell ya man...I am just trying to shed light apon your complaints..Considering "NO ONE" in this forum has played the final build..
Don't take this personal, or maybe I shouldn't..
Have fun with whatever game you choose..
