    Maybe the option that tips the scales for you is Madness's all-mascot teams. [Jan 2005, p.106]

    And the gameplay is improved a good deal from last year, giving you more of a realistic feel while maintaining a fast-paced arcadey kind of feel.

    A pretender. While it borrows some new features from "NCAA Football 2005" and includes a revamped play-calling system that is actually fun to use, a broken dynasty mode and choppy online play mar an otherwise good basketball game.

    For the price the ESPN/Sega game is so much better. Both games are very close in every facet but the crowd noise is better in ESPN.
