I think Im starting to lean towards getting March Madness now since they come out the same day..also after checking out the videos of the games on ign it looks like MM is the better game...what do you guys think of the videos

Yeah, I just saw that. I hope it's wrong. Sega is know for posting bogus release date. I'm waiting on a press release or a e-mail from gamestop before I get offically ****ed. I bought True Crimes today just in case. It might hold me over if this is true.

When has espn publish a wrong date? and why would they do it
did you watch the videos? I used to want to get espn but after seeing those videos I think MM is going to kill espn this yr...Espn just looks too stiff and the players dont have good ai

I know this year they had ESPN Basketball's date wrong. I also remember people being ****ed about the Football or Hockey games release date. Sega has been known to push the XBOX version of a game back another week. They did it with ESPN Basketball this year and NCAA 2K3 last year. I'll just wait and see. I'm getting ESPN Hoops; I will rent MM 2004 and if it's that good I will grab a copy.

It looks to me like you can get to the rack anytime you want on mm04, thats what made me quit live this year and buy espn basketball. each video of mm04 showed players shooting layups. I want something a lil' more realistic. I can even go w/o some better moves or controls on mm04 if espn has better realistic gameplay. College ball is different than the nba, but every play isn't a layup. I guess it just depends on what type of game you are looking for.

too me MM looks a lot more realistic..Check out the players on espn when they dont have the ball.. they look like they have no idea what is going on..
espn has a long ways to go considering 2k3 was one of the weakest basketball games in history

Sega does it again. Pushes another game back a week, days before it's set to release. **** ****es me off. I'm about to stop ****ing with Sega; unorganized *******s!
