LOL, I have a friend who swore up and down for 3 years that Madden was better then the 2K series. He got Madden 2004 for and hates it for the piece of crap it is. This isn't (and never has been) a strategic football simulation. From the crappy run game and the way every single player from linemen to kickers look EXACTLY alike. Sorry to resond to this Primetime, but this needs to be said. haha.

Whats wrong with Maddens run game? EVERYTHING. The way u can push back on the controls and have the guy turn like a robot is completely embarassing to the sport of football. You could set up the perfect defense and plug the right gap and the guy would robot his way out.
The passing game- you can throw deep EVERY SINGLE PLAY and score, completely unrealistic.
Player models- Since when does Olindo Mare look EXACTLY like Jason Sehorn (or any other white guy in the NFL)?
To answer the question of why does my friend hate 04....he told me you can't tackle anyone, even on easy.
He's not the first I've had tell me that.
In the 2K series the players look like they do in real life (Ricky complete with his dreads).
The run game is realistic, if the block isn't you have to make a legitimate juke or tackled.
The passing is extremely realistic, its set to mock the true NFL.
You will rarely see Gannon leave the pocket in 2K3, and it is difficult to contain Vick.
If the QB is hit while releasing, the pass is in-accurate.
I honestly don't see why people like Madden, I played it for two seconds and killed the other team, to me thats no fun, i like to put together drives that are realistically conducted.

That explains why my D averages less than 50 yards rushing per game. Sorry, but movement is pretty realistic.
That is why Surtain has 9 picks and Knight has 7 and Madison has 6 and marion has 5 in my first season. Because temas are able to constantly throw deep and score every time. (okay, 5 of those scores were my DB's taking it back to the promised land )
Since people stopped really looking at the fact that there are about a dozen different facial shapes and another dozen different faces to place on those shapes, and thats not even including the different colors of hair creating somethign like 4-500 different combinations.
Funny, I have no trouble tackling people... in droves.
Its the first time I have heard that.
No more so than in madden.
Just like madden.
Just like madden.
In madden Gannon runs about as often as he does in real life. (he had 185 yards rushing my 1st season and in real life rushed for 156 last year)
and as far as vick being hard to contain, there is a thread listed here asking how to contain running QB's, so we know that Vick and McNair and guys like that are tough to keep a lid on in madden, just like real life.
Just like those dozen or so passes that Feidler has put in the turf about 10 yards short of the reciever when he gets hit while passing in my game.
Try it for a little longer than 2 seconds (it gets better after the coin flip.) and try it on an actually semi difficult level instead of easy, whip up on the other team in all-pro and then talk smak. In pro and all-pro, if you don't put together realistic drives the opponent is going to maul you.
I am guessing your just beeing difficult for kicks or have never played madden, only have the 2K game and decided to slam what you don't have to compensate for having the inferior of the 2 titles, but thats just a guess. :)

When your in the open field on Madden you can use the unrealistic running movements to get around the guy, how can anyone who thinks they know football deny this? Its as plain as day, its a terrible feature that makes Madden worse then Gameday.
In Madden, Ricky looks nothing even remotely like he does in 2K3 or in real life, the only thing Madden Ricky has going is that hes black and has a visor, that doesn't cut it. Your comment (excuse) as to why Mare looks like Sehorn, that just shows EA Sports lack of attention to detail, if Sega Sports could do it why can't they?
I'm not trying to convince anyone that they should like the 2K series, I couldn't care less,
however I just do not, in any way, see how you could like Madden.
The game is the same as they guy, repetitive, annoying and completely off the mark in everything football. Madden maybe used to be a good coach, fine, but now he's just a rambling old guy who makes me wish Dennis Miller was back in the booth.
SOOOOO, ESPN NFL Football (2K4) is the game to have, IMO...and thats all I have to say.
