Innovation is defined as: “An introduction of a new idea into the marketplace in the form of a new product or service, or an improvement in organization or process.” Apparently, the good folks at Visual Concepts and Sega Sports must share the same “word of the day calendar”, because ESPN NFL Football 2005 looks to be the most innovative, genre defining sports game…EVER

Couple this with the fact that Xbox Live servers are now “open”; this means that no more waiting for rosters to be updated by Sega. Now, when you update your rosters at home, they can be played online against any Xbox Live opponent

As far as them allowing edited rosters online yet, they weren't 100% sure of that one at E3, at least when we talked to them. So I'm not sure if this guy is interpreting that right. One thing that we're yet to see is if this system of "open" servers will mean more lag for online players.

looks real good.
Hopefully field is improved especially for xbox. I hope weather effects are awesome this year and wind actually affetc the gameplay. Progressive darkness for 4 pm games would be awesome too.

After week eight of the season, Mel Kuyper Jr. will join Trey in the studio to discuss the upcoming NFL draft, and the top prospects each team needs to look for. VC has gone way over the top with this feature, as they have created more than 1,000 fictional rookies, complete with pics, names, and stat sheets

I think this the "pre-loaded" draft classes flyboy was talking about. Sounds promising.

[jordan0386]

well...there is what...like roughly 200 or so picks in a draft...that means it could get stale after 5 seasons

i hope...like the ign article mentioned...it just splices the faces of any 2 players...and comes up with a fake name

that way...it could be fresh every year...instead of constantly hearing the same fake name with a different face
