  I just picked up the new ESPN NFL 2K5 at CompUSA today, and it only cost me $20. My initial impressions? The same magic of last year's with some new production values that keep gameplay fresh. I still have yet to delve into the various new modes of play, however, so it's all up in the air. The graphics have vastly improved, but that's probably because I bought the PS2 version last year, whereas this year I bought the Xbox edition.
I do plan on picking up Madden 2005 when it comes out in two weeks and doing a bit of a comparison of the two. Of course, I'll need funds for this, and there's no way in hell I'm spending my iMac funds. It's unfortunate that I've been hit by the football fever; I'm selling five of my games tomorrow to pick up NCAA. By the end of this ordeal, I'll have three football games to tote around and call my own. And to think that I'm not really much of a fan anyway. :)
