Madden 2005 Strategy Guide
 

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

btw, madden sold 1.1mill in the first week, they're clearing a lot of green right now ;)

how does that compare to ESPN's sales?

generally half as much, but for this year i have no idea... obviously not 1.1mill, but its impossible to find it seems...

should be alot more than last year at less than half the price and with that lead time. sure hope so. someone out there really needs to push EA.

yeah, i could only find basic figures on last year and nothing on this year for espn... madden 2004 sold 2mill in 3 weeks, madden 2005 is 1.1mill in 1 week.

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
