ESPN 2K5 vs Madden 07 on Xbox?

[Carolus Rex]

1. Which game is the better and why?

2. What game would be best for a newcomer to the sport in real life as well as the gaming world of football? In short: Which is the best game for a beginner?

IMO 2K5, but your just asking to start a flamewar with this thread. As a beginner in football gaming I say don't fall into the Madden hype. We can't lose another innocent victim.

I've gotta go with 2K5, also.

2K5 looks good and all but personally I felt the game wasnt very realistic and played like poop.Defense was a joke and passing wasnt much better.Which why online most people just ran ran ran.Madden isnt quite as nice graphically but a much better sim,however not so sure about their online thing.

Not tring to start a flamewar, only trying to figure out what game to buy. 2K5 is 100:- and Madden is 600:- so there is quit ea big diffrence in price as you see.

And there are updated rosters for this season for K5 to download right?

So, with the rosters up to date on both games, wich one would be the best buy?

Man you can get a copy of 2k5 fr $1.99 bro !!..2k5 was a good game but I couldn't stand the horrible DB AI..and the running animations were horrible..Madden 07 is a decent game but it seems like if you played one madden you played them all...!!! it just got stale to me..same graphics gameplay etc....but you can't go wrong with either choice..You wil have a lot of roster updating with 2k5 though that's a pain within itself....
