Does 4000 new animations in ESPN sound like nothing to get jazzed over. I think not.




Every year, games claim to have "4000 new animations", then you end up seeing about 25 of them.

In the videos and screens, I basically see the same damn games as last year.


i'm excited because i've long gotten rid of NCAA and Madden so I'm looking forward to playing football again. It's been a long spring and summer so far waiting for the new sports games to come out. After a lackluster baseball gaming season, i'm eagerly anticipating my favorite football games. I still have espn 2k4 and i've recently gotten back into that.

....or is there really nothing to get jazzed over this year among ANY of the games.

Same ole, same ole, same ole. ESPN, Madden, and NCAA are each basically the same games with incremental, non-gameplay improvements.

I'm not excited about any of them because I feel like I already have them.




Well, it's the nature of the beast; football is football, and no matter what one does, ultimately you are still going to be playing the same game. The developers try to put in features that allow the user to have more control over what happens in the game - both on and off the field - to try to create a better sense of realism and add more depth to the game, rather than it only being football. These new features are what I am excited about.

Re: Is it just me........

They are all incremental upgrades, at best. There's nothing revolutionary happening, but there are some nice new features.

I suppose I'm excited not purely for the games, but for what they represent: fall is coming, training camps open soon, and football is drawing nearer, like Christmas.

exactly...I really try not to get hyped anymore, because it tends to lead to disappointment

We won't have a huge sports videogame revision until the new systems, I can't see either Madden or ESPN doing radical changes when they only have a couple years left on these systems
