yeah that was my thought also. from the amount of plays and # of polygons per player it just looks like it will be the better game play wise and graphics.
If Sega's game weren't online, it would be all about the gameplay. Because EA is not on XBL though, I'm getting ESPN automatically. But I have NCAA 2004 when I want the Madden style of play.
