I have to say in my experience, the EA game is superior to ESPN....Now I haven't played EA 2005 yet, but if it improves upon last years then it has to be better.....
ESPN is not my game of choice....I bought it Tuesday and the players all look like Neanderthals, the crowds are poor, the arenas are weak, I wish Gary Thorne could pronounce people's names correctly.
Also, the game play is well, boring. The player movements are terrrible, one timers are done on totally unnatural footing. It's just not a great game.
the Franchise mode is also disappointing. The only extra besides Contracts is scouting. there's no ticket pricing, attentance info, etc....
I look forward to NHL 2005 SO MUCH!
