This is much better than the generic strategy guide in the stores, I got it last night and just skimmed through it and I already picked up on a few helpful hints.
I highly recommend it, it's only $15.95

From the reviews I've read ESPN is a better game than Madden 2005. I've played both and I think ESPN has better graphics and has a slower gameplay. But, I've been playing more Madden because of better gameplay....and well, everyone else I know plays Madden. So I have to play more Madden just to compete with them.
'05 is a record breaker, by the way you can already pre-order '06, LOL
