The reason people buy Madden every year is because it has earned it's reputation as the best football game out there. People continue to buy games in a series because the series has earned their trust. How? By being awesome, that's how. If Sega's game is truly better than Madden, then so be it, but don't act like you don't understand why people buy Madden instead.
When Sega first came out with the 2k series (which is now called ESPN), I believe it was on Dreamcast first, it was seriously flawed. A lot of us paid full price for that game and, guess what? It was no Madden, not even close. So a lot of us went back to Madden. Because it was better.
Changing from Madden to ESPN at this point, for those of us who have played and enjoyed Madden for years, is, to me at least, a little pointless. I have found a series that does things right and have learned the intricacies of the game, which, as you know, takes a long time with a football game. All of the people I play Madden with share this familiarity with the franchise, leading to a very competitive, challenging and personal gaming experience.
Changing over to ESPN would be taking the game we enjoy and tweaking it so that we were not familiar with it anymore, therefore basically forcing us to start over from scratch.
Nothing against ESPN (I LOOOOVE NHL 2K4), but Madden is already my favorite football game; I don't need another quite yet.
I'll pick up the game anyway, but it will prolly sit for a while untill I'm ready for a new football experience.
