Would you buy Madden NFL 10 or ESPN NFL 2k10?

No one is expecting them to be Superman but you have to admit their is lax and there is this...

This is pure madness.

I dont understand how everyone has to keep doing this over and over again. Each to his own opinion. I dont get how many people have an opinion on 2k and madden but yet how many people go out and vote? That is something that really matters yet so many dont do anything about it.

My point with that last paragraph was sort of to point out that I look at it differently than most. Yes, I do feel 2k5's locomotion was more natural feeling than any NextGen Madden, but honestly, I preferred lastgen Madden's locomotion to 2k5's.

One of the things that bugs the heck out of me with 2k is that "fishtail" effect that changing direction has. It's really apparent in defensive linemen. It's like the pivot point for the player model is somewhere a foot or so behind the player and it looks and feels really unnatural.

That said, if VC continued the rate of improvement it made from 2k3 to 2k5, then it'd be a very tough battle and I'd probably end up buying both. Just as a disclaimer... I like 2k5 quite a bit, and I'm not ready to say Madden is absolutely better than 2k5, but I enjoy playing Madden 10 better than 2k5. It feels more natural and fluid than 2k ever did, so take that for what it's worth when considering my comments.

Damn, you played Madden 10 already, lol! But seriously, have you played APF? Talk about fluid motion, that's the game. Both Madden 09 and 2K5 had/has flaws, especially in franchise(both games draft logic were messed up)mode. But it's hard to not wonder what could've been with both companies pushing each other to the limit for my/our enjoyment.

He was at the community day, so yes, he played 10, albeit the pre-Beta version.

*Back to topic*
I bought 2k5 instead of Madden 05, so yeah, probably.
But-----who's to say how it'd be? Better? Same? Worse? Who knows. But just to be able to choose would be great.
Here's hoping Madden 10 makes me say "2k WHO???"

I don't like APF at all. It's poorly tuned and the coverage is horrendous. 2k5 was far superior.

I would buy both of them.....
