Yeah, it does look like the same engine... just a little more pollished... anyways, it should be good either way. I like EA's series much better than ESPN's. ESPN just felt clunky overall - sure it had pretty good graphics but the controls and player response were just clumsy....

2k is way better and its 20$
maybe many people didnt buy thinking it was to cheap to be better than madden..
the reason it was so cheap is because it was co-published between sega and take two so basically each one of them only had to pay half the cost of what it took to make the game. and if i wasnt mistaken i thought that it actually outsold madden last year.

i had a problem with all of the maddens controls because they would switch the button lay-out between offense and defense which really annoyed me. to many ESPN's controls were more responsive because madden puts a bigger emphasis on the momentum of the football players so it would take a little while longer for them to change their direction mid-sprint. and i dont see how it was clumsy, they had all the buttons in the right spot that would make sense so you wouldnt have to angle your hands in any weird angles just to pull of any of the moves required during a game.

I want to believe that it will at least come somewhat close to what their commercial has set us up for. its definitely possible.
even putting slightly any faith in EA is beneath him, someone at his new job killed him, shoved him in the closet, and is taking over at the forums for him.
First off he hates Maddens, which the perpetrator admits, but if he hates both Madden and EA, why bother to care or "believe" that it will come close to the commercial? This is EA!!!!!
I got scolded for even thinking about getting NFS:Most Wanted. Now this intruder says he "believes"..
Intruder!! Intruder!!!!!

get the guns! lets the dogs loose!
you my friend are a true ass
i should clarify that i dont have the least bit of faith in EA or the madden series, i do however have all the faith in the world in the 360 being able to produce graphics close to that commercial, that is what i was implying.
speaking of which, i was happy to read yesterday that the head Tool at EA (Don Matrick) stepped down and is no longer the boss man over there. makes no difference to me because EA will always be EA and it will take a great game for me to buy one off of them. i can admit they put out the rare few good games (as someone has pointed out it depends on what part of EA its from) burnout being one and HL coming out soon im sure will be another. but with the 360 around the corner i have better things to spend my money on.
aww they lost don your buddy! lol I know you despised him
I knew what you meant but its concerning a shit game from a shit company. Use the word "believe" with other games, dont associiate it with EA..its blasphemous! lol
When runing the ball in madden kage360 mentioned the momentum well it seems that they are carying john madden himself on there backs....
if you have 2k5 go to the 25th anniverary mode and tell me if madden has ever come close to that they even add players like jerry rice in the 49ers dynasty.
or little details that make a good football game like online challenges
the players chatter or when they get hurt and besides madden 06 has copied lots of 2k stuff..
this sounds evil but if it takes madden crokking to get better football out there then so be it..
First off this is a flash video so it's going to look like crap automaticlly, it's low res, this game is probaly not using the final devs kits, and the game isn't out yet!!! Wait until the X05 then make your final desion.
they cant do much but polish whats already being finalized between now and X05, thats only 3 weeks off dude.
Higher res isnt going to make an old engine play better.
X05 is around the time games are going to be sent off to be pressed and set for retail.
I actually love madden. I have been a fan since the 1980's on Sega Genesis. Now EA in general I don't believe is one of the best developers out their but Madden and recently NCAA (which I can't make it through the day without playing) will keep me coming back for more.
sorry bud but it seems EA has taken the rights of the ncaa,espn, and also the arena league .so only thing left for the makers of the 2k series is the old timers who played with fake nfl teams. while im a madden fan i feel that the 2k series showed it had what took to knock off madden( 2k5 is better than madden 06)EA knew this and cut the snkaes head to prevent anyone from trying to take their spot. in the end the only people who suffer is us the gamers.EA will continue to try and monopolize the video game market and provide crap uncomplete buggy games. next year i will not purchase madden unless they redo the whole engine and stop feeding us the same game with 5-10 new animations same commentary, and gimicks like the hit and truck stick .
