Even this cover is crap. CRAP!

But nothing will EVER top ESPN 2004

That Owens cover is disgusting. Whiny Owens + Eagles = two strikes. It'd be awesome with Dunta Robinson doing the same thing, though. Dunno if I can buy it now.

Even this cover is crap. CRAP!

Owens with the MJ style JAM!!!

This cover makes it look like a $20 game.

I can't decide which is worse. Warren Sapp's rejected Tao Feng audition shot or TO's finger roll on top of slapped together graphics and a background of questionable origin.

Even if I take the actual players into account, it's hard. I guess Warren Sapp gets the nod, since he's a jackass who won't shut up but is occasionally entertaining.

Wait...are you guys fuckin serious? That TO cover can't be true? It's like a twilight zone around here.

With that T.O cover ESPN will surely be a bestseller in Baltimore!

Is it just me, or do you think going back to the NFL 2K label would be a smart move for Sega? If I remember correctly, one of the NFL 2Ks sold about 700,000 on the PS2. ESPN didn't even sell half of that.

[Edit] I think that may have been NFL 2K2. Even still, changing names on people like that isn't a brilliant move by any means. The ESPN name was once associated with Konami's horribly lackluster games, and no one took notice of those.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

yeah it sold 700,000... and 500,000 of those were sold @ $10 or less... many at $5 or less!

 

[mjq jazz bar]

But ESPN 2004 hasn't achieved that. And I'm sure it's dropped in price since release.

 

[Archaix]

The ESPN name would be great if ESPN didn't fucking advertise Madden more.

EA Sports presents: Madden NFL Matchup. Buy Madden football! We've got Madden replays! Let's interview Madden and have him pimp the game! Madden segments on Sportscenter! MADDEN MADDEN MADDEN!

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

let me make a long story short:

sega overestimated how well nfl2k3 would sell. so they produced a lot of copies, and no one was buying them. the only way to get rid of them was to sell incredibly cheap... infact, ebgames.com STILL has nfl 2k3 for $4.99 i think. ESPN Football (last years) wasn't over produced. it dropped to $29.99, but thats what its at now. you will never see it for $5.
