Any of you guys play this? I basically bought PS2 3 years ago for the sole purpose of playing Madden. 31 years old and still playing video games. Anyway, I freakin' love it. Tried ESPN 2K5 this year b/c it was only 20 bones and it's pretty good, but not knocking my socks off and I will purchase Madden again. Anyway, just curious if I was the only nerd over 30 that still plays video games.
I've got you beat bosox,I'm 36 and play football on X-BOX ALOT!! Me and some friends always have seasons going on with EA Sports games but by far the Maddens are the funniest with NCAA 05 football and NBA LIVE tied for a close 2nd.
Of course we bet like crazy on each game of season,division winners,who goes farther,MVP,etc. By the time the season is done there is a pretty good chunk of $$$$ exchanged hands!
PS-T.A Mclendon is a damn monster for the Wolfpack in the college football game!

Next generation full machines are not coming out in the US until late 2005. The next up will be a Nintendo system to be released in Japan, or at least is planned now. The item scheduled to come out by Xmas is the PSP, Play Station Portable to take on that market. Xbox next version is supposedly a 2006 event even, with PS likely to beat them to market (again).
I just picked up Madden 2k5 (34, and I still play lots of video games).
There are a couple of improvements over the older madden games. 2 that jump out are the "hit-stick" used on defense to either a. administer a brutal hit, or b. mis-tackle terribly; and the new defensive play selections. It's much easier to tell if a d-back will play zone or man-man defense with the new selection screen.
The only bad thing about the new madden is the cheerleaders aren't as hot. Some of there are even a bit chunky (I prefer my cheerleaders borderline anorexic).
Now, if you have an X-box (or PS2), you gotta try DDR... Video crack-cocaine.
