Charles Woodson, Napoleon Harris, and Phillip Buchanon are under 30 years of age. ;) Of course its going to be better in the game, but with our new defensive coordinator (Rob Ryan, who was the LB coach for the Patriots, he's highly rated), our defense is going to be better. :p at least I think it will be :crazyboy:

Charles W. could be easily the best CB in the NFL, but he's an injury waiting to happen player, Napoleon no comments :rolleyes: and yes the only guy, under 30 who's worth every single penny is Phillip B. luckly for you guys he played at the hidden 33rd NFL team ;)

Are you serious? Harris is considered one of the better young linebackers in the league. But if you don't think so, that's fine.

Maybe he's good but to be honest i don't like him, that's all. For me there are at least 25 players better than him.

He may have a pretty good year, You guys have Rob Ryan and Turner as coach, a very good defensive coach that will help you guys improved.

Well, Norv Turner is an offensive guy and his style of offense is what Al Davis wants to see: air-it out. The Raiders where known for going deep back in the day and that's how we'll be playing. This is a reason why I want Collins as the starter instead of Gannon. I've heard a lot of good things about Ryan and how he devised a lot of the 3-4 schemes that Belichik used for his defense. We'll see though.

ATLANTA is in a division with Carolina, the best defensive team in the NFC, Tampa is always dangerous and the Saints have a pretty good offense.

To me Atl only have Vick and maybe Price, but that's it... dunn sometimes can run, and TJ well he pounds guys, but this is a game. So its fair enough for me if you take them.

I'll take the Dolphins (H)


Thanks for reaffirming me in my choice, brother, but I think I've changed my mind. I'll be going with the Steelers (the team I first came to love when I started watching football with my uncle in the early 90s)


I think I'm going to go with Roethlisberger from the start, trade Burress the second a decent offer comes up because I think he's gotta be one of the dumbest receivers to ever play football (my grudge for this guy runs deep...I don't care how good his stats are in the game.....he won't be suiting up for the Steelers with me on the helm!). Improve the secondary, improve the secondary, improve the secondary and invest in a couple of O-Linemen after the first season.


-RB Duce Staley....solid

-Shifty Kridrier......solid

-Hines War...a true leader

-Alan Faneca.......what a beaast!

-Kendall Simmons....beast!

-Clark Haggans......unbelievable speed

-Kendrell Bell...beast

-Joey Porter...beast


-the secondary.....hmmm.....let's not talk about that aspect of the team at this time.....thinking about it alone brings me great levels of distress, man.

Im definitely getting Madden. ESPN NFL is to arcadish for me. I mean its really easy to run the ball and break alot of tackles every play. Plus in Madden you can put your draft class from NCAA football 2005 onto Madden for the draft which I couldnt play a franchise mode without.

Well, I rented ESPN's game today and its pretty good. Graphics wise, Madden is still better but the gameplay is just about even. I guess its just a matter of preference. The Crib and VIP feature are pretty cool, I beat Jamie Kennedy 23-0 in a game. :p I'm still going to buy Madden because I've become accustomed to that game.

well, i just bought ESPN game and all i can say is.......



IT ROCKS!!!!!

this game is amazing!

im an Avid Madden supporter but i can say that ESPN so far is the best football game EVER!

The off season mode is finally fun for me so its not boring, Contract negotiations are the best ive seen, the pre/half/post game shows with Berman are great. Of course they do get repetetive after a while.

The Game play is amzing and as close to real life football ive seen so far. the Running game is much improved, so u cant turn on a dime anymore. its not Arcadish at all.

The animations are the best ive seen in any sport game ever!, so life like, so fluid.

Last but not least. the graphics, this is by far the most Beautiful football game ive ever seen, of course im talking about the Xbox Version, i dont give a poo about the ps2 ;). The player models are as real as it gets in my opinion. anyways Go get this game!! only 20 bucks! if ur an xBox onwer u get the better game. less loading times, and no slow downs, better graphics.

It's not "wasting" money. :p Consoles are worth every dollar you spend on them. I suppose you download your games off Kazaa or some other P2P network.

Anyway, if ESPN NBA 2K5 is like this game in terms of quality Live's going to get its ass handed to them on a platter for the second year running. Thank the Lord for Sega and Visual Concepts. (H)

Well i don't download my games, if i like it i buy it. I work so i can spend my money the way i want. But have a console and a PC is too much money. I mean example FIFA in console, that's it, but fifa in pc you can download patches and faces and all that stuff. But again there are games in console that are great on they don't have PC version. So, if too much money to have both.

Unless your parents gives you the money, i guess that's alright, but when you have to earn it, it's not that easy.
