There are a few things I disliked about ESPN.
1. Dropped passes. I can understand that receivers drop passes, but it is the way ESPN does it that turns me off. There's no way that a pro player is going to drop five passes in one game, when the ball is right in his hands. This happens too often in ESPN, while with Madden it is much less frequent.
I didn't have this problem at all. I am using NE, maybe Brady is really good or something. I do notice that Bullet Passes do drop more often, but if they are open, they will catch it. My WRs almost never drop high slow balls (but they are usually tipped). I don't think it is NE's WRs either b/c I lost Troy Brown, David Patten AND Deion Branch over the course of the season to injuries (oh yah, I lost Corey Dillon too) so I was passing on every down and still complete over 50% of my pass. I guess it might be a timing thing, I don't know.

If you throw in double/triple coverage, they do get INTs alot. Or if the opposing team has awesome secondaries (like Carmen Electra's Shocks). Sometimes, I throw 5 INTs with Brady, other times, I throw none. It is weird, but I do feel that most of the INTs are my fault.
I have yet to play Madden, but I do want to try it just to see which one I like more (I have liked Sega's game ever since NFL 2K).
