ESPN NFL 2K5 for PS2 or XBox
Assuming I'll never use XBox live but might use PS2 online (I've only got dial up )should I get ESPN NFL 2K5 for XBox or PS2?

All sports games except, apparently, NCAA 2005, which still has issues that the PS2 doesn't... sigh
Otherwise I agree with everything everyone else said. The fact that the Xbox has a hard drive and that EA is on the Live bandwagon makes the Xbox the system of choice for sports games. The only other argument against it is if you're used to the PS2 controller, especially the four shoulder buttons.

I don't have the game yet, but from the reviews I've read the Xbox version also uses the custom soundtrack feature and allows you to have your tracks play over the stadium PA at appropriate times.

I haven't done that yet, but according to the menus in the game the PS2 will allow that too.

I overheard some kid in the local EB complaining about all the problems he was having with his Xbox version. Anyone have any idea what he is talking about?

I have the game for x-box and my friend has it for PS2.
The graphics on the PS2 version are very crappy compared to the x-box's.
You don't get to use custom music on the PS2 version, you have to use the music they give you in the game.

other than that i suck at the game, i haven't had any problems in single player.
on live, i haven't played a single game yet - but, i've seen messages like, can't validate VIP file, or can't download rosters or ESPN server is down (i think).

I've always found in sports games that the PS2 versions have more responsive controls, but look nowhere near as good. Usually I go with EA games for PS2 and ESPN games for the XBox. But that's just my opinion.

Well, good to hear its not the game, and must have been that kids system.
That's odd. EA's sports games always look so similar on all 3 systems.

GizmoDVD, you must be great at your job if you can sell a game that doesn't exist! (Gamecube ESPN)
