I am considering getting this game for XBox because it looks fantastic (and its only 20 bucks)! But, I have been a Madden player my whole life and I have a couple questions before I buy the game:

How many years is the franchise mode?
Can you Create-a-Player?
Are the controls similar to Madden?
How is the AI compared to Madden?

I have done my research on this (minus the questons) and it will definitly beat Madden. ESPN puts more time and effort into their video games, and Madden is going downhill, in my opinion.

Wrong. Have you played NFL 2k5? It is the best looking football games if the one of the best looking games period. Madden has looked and played the same for the past 3 years. I think Madden is way over-rated just because it has been around so long. I would have gladly paid $50 for NFL 2k5.

Not sure.
Yes.
Yes, but it doesn't switch the sprint on you when you are on defense like Madden.
Same if not better.

I cant believe what some of you guys are saying. While espn is a great game and a steal at 20 bucks, madden is still king. Madden has way better tackling animations, a franchise mode that puts espn to shame and amazing pre snap control, not to metion the hit stick. But the biggest reason madden is better is the game play, and that is what you look for in a game right? You would be alot better off putting that twenty towards madden. But the one thing espn does have on madden is sports center.

God, don't get me started. Madden's games look THE SAME for the past 3 years. Yo say Madden puts ESPN Franchise to shame, why? And what the heck is the hit stick?! ESPN uses the right stick for jukes, does Madden?

Sounds like testimony from a fanboy; and while you call ESPN a great game, have you actually played it?

Maka is crazy? No, I'm just unbiased, and I see games for their true worth

I am/used to be a Madden fanboy...and I think ESPN looks to be a better game, although I am a fanboy, I am unbiased.
