I plan on getting it but not at 12am.

I'm getting it, but I'll get it when I get it.


I don't rush out for games done by EA. EA is infamous for putting more into advertising then they do for the actual game. Sure it's great for business, but the consumer gets the short end of the stick. And there's no competition with EA (for football games) so there's nothing the consumer can do about it.

FYI, there was an uproar about two major bugs. In franchise mode, somehow, HOF players become available once they're unlocked and appear on the Free Agents list. EA has responded with a "workaround" to fix the problem. Of course they were in full spin control and came out saying that this is what they intended to do. This only occurs on the 360 version.

The other major bug is fatigue in the 360 version is broken. Players don't fatigue properly. However, again, EA has released a statement that a patch is in the works to fix this problem and will be release over Xbox Live. So you if you don'thave XBL, you'll be SOL if you are planning to get the 360 version.


So with since there is workaround for HOF'ers showing up in franchise mode and a patch coming for the broken fatigue, I'll be picking up 07. Fry's will have the xbox 360 version for 47.99. I'll probably take the add to super walmart at midnite and pricematch.

ESPN NFL 2k5 with roster updates from Action Replay? yes sir, thank you.

I was a 2k5 fan too, but the game is 2 years old. Let it go. Also, that game had major problems too that seemed to get ignored. One, the DB AI is atrocious. again, it was my game of preference but since we have no choice.....

I'd rather not play a 2 year old game. 2K sports always put out the buggiest damn games in every sport, every year. Funny thing though, I always prefer their games.

Yeah

I wasn't trying to knock you personally man, sorry if it came across that way

It's just I'm still bitter over the whole EA taking over the market crap

i didn't take offense. As much as I love the 2k series, it wasn't without issues. The shots that madden takes are fair most of the time. Hardcore 2k fans just consider 2k5 as the holy grail and it wasn't without issues.

I'm getting a new computer with nice specs within the next two weeks, once I have that I'll look into getting the PC version of it.

ESPN 2K5 is so overrated. The camera angle when passing the ball is something a ****** would come up with, and playing defense is so incredibly easy. I started a franchise once and shutout my first 5 opponents (on the hardest settings)

 

[Secondary2None3141]

I think this will be the first year that I don't buy Madden . . .

First, I don't have a game console, and I don't want to get it for the PC.

But mostly because I really have just outgrown the game. I only seem to enjoy it when I'm running in franchise, and I especially enjoy the off season features such as the draft, etc.

Problem is, I'd play it for a few weeks and get 2 years into a franchise . . . but then I'd quit playing for months because it got old, and when I'd want to play again I'd want to re-start my franchise. That gets old . . .

you can always download the patches to a cd and put the cd in your 360, alot of people do that for their system updates...
