Espn Nfl 2k5 ....$19.99
 

ebgames.com and gamestop.com both have ESPN NFL 2K5 (ESPN NFL 2005) for preorder at $19.99 (both xbox and ps2). If this is Sega's new marketing approach for their ESPN sports lineup, there are 5 new sports games in my future without EA on them.

Wow.

link i cant seem to find it on gamestop

WOW!

$23.17 shipped for the Xbox version through EBGames. NICE!

imo, what little chance Sega had on the xbox was pretty much destroyed when EA announced support of xbox live.

$20? seems about right to me.

:lol:

ESPN owned Madden last year, this year won't be any different.

twenty bucks.... Might be my football game this year.

Overnight is $6 (as opposed to $10) with that code. Still a good deal, though.

#10 - Celebrities: I'm not a big fan of the celebrities in the game. Frankly, playing against some celebrity voice and having them try to talk smack over the sounds of the game is sort of annoying. But I know there have got to be some folks out there psyched for this. And the later celebrity appearances in Franchise Mode, when famous folks talk about their fave teams, should be cool.

#9 - Online Rosters: Online is nothing new for a Sega sports game, but this year there's a new twist. There will be a living roster online for league, meaning that you can trade players and sign free agents cut by other people. Very nice, indeed.

#8 - Graphics: Holy Moses, this game looks stunning. Using Normal Mapping and a new technique of Triple Pass Rendering, you'll see muscles flex, the change of color in a uniform from dusk to night, the intensity on a player's face, and the crispest, cleanest, and prettiest sports game since, err, ever perhaps. The screens and movies do not lie. This is hot, hot, hot!

#7 - Celebrations: The No Fun League has always been against celebrations in video games, but somehow the kids at VC managed to convince the NFL to let all that slide. There are over 20 endzone celebrations in the game, and you can set six of them to the various controller buttons, allowing you to choose your celebrations as you play. These are cool and yes (sorry EA) they are better than what you've seen in NCAA. The Robot, the Fadeaway, two moves from Primetime? I'm in love!

#6 - ESPN Presentation: Last year VC became determined to improve the somewhat lackluster presentation previously found in its titles. They've done so and more this year. Boomer's in the hot seat, Joe Namath's gal is on the field, and the weekly Sportscenter feature has tons of plays from a variety of games and loads of dialogue. Add to this over 200 new cut-scenes showing play and coach reactions and even fan's entering the stadium or looking distraught after a loss. Yeah, it's good stuff.

Check out the top 5 at the review.

$20?!? Really glad to have an Xbox now.

:lol:

yea i found link right after i asked question lol. Yes this deal is sweet., i called my local ebgames and gamestop, one company didnt even have it in their computers yet. The other said that its 49.99 in store, i then said 19.99 online and was told must be online special, so I asked if i can order it for 19.99 online and do in store pickup and was told I cant, sucks ill ahve to wait few extra days but im saving 30 bucks! Great find

ebgames..can sweeten their deal with in-store pickup or free two day shipping with code E3SHIP

Thanks for that code, max. Pretty amazing deal-- and right when I was sure I was gonna pick up Madden now that it's Live-enabled.

maxpower - I put in that code, but it still shows the shipping cost. Any suggestions?

I just used it and selected 2 day air for $0.

what ^^^^ said. After you enter your code ..usually before checkout...you are given delivery options. The 2 day option will have a $0.00 price.

YES!!!!!!!!
 

Maybe this will start a trend?

What a steal for $20!!!!!!!!!!!

Bought both...... going to see which one is better.

For me... the controls on madden has the advantage.

Wow. I'm not buying any football games this year, but I'd definitely pick up ESPN NBA 2005 for that price. I mean $15 fora new game (with coupon at best buy) is a steal.

So, does anyone know if this is the actual suggested price, or a special?
