Alright! I saw the right price on the box this time at the mall ($19.99 USED) - and I "upgraded" last night. This is the best football game I have EVER played, including NCAA 2003 and any Madden or Sega football port. The game was used but the booklet, disc and the box were in STERLING condition.

The running out of the tunnel, etc. is something to behold. It took a while to get used to the new scoreboard, etc. but the overall look of the game seems better, and I noticed a little more commentary coming from the booth.

I have only played about 2 hours of this and wonder what else should I look out for since I am behind you pros out there who have had this since late 2003.

Man, you just got it? You've really been missing out. Well, at least you got it now.

Wooooo! Congrats to you!

One of the nice features is that you can take your college players and import them to Madden 2004. I think I play NCAA more than any other Xbox game. 2005 is supposed to be out soon though. It would be nice if it had a create a conference option on it.
