well since its been around since 2k, yeah id have to say most espn fans like it. A little arcadish? Well until we can strap on pads and run it ourself in a videogame, anything you do with the controller is gonna be arcadish cause it is a game afterall =P A common misconception is that if you tap it really fast youll outrun anyone which really isnt the case. Its probably a relatively low rate of tapping that tops the player out at top speed. I think its a hell of a lot more exciting to bust a big run in ESPN tappin frantically then in NCAA where you just hold the button down.... just my opinion though
