I have played both games, and honestly IMO ESPN is better. The gameplay in ESPN is very cutomizable, and is realistic. Rivals on the other hand doesn't even let you change your controls. I like how Rivals has different online modes that you can play with someone else against another person, but the gameplay just ruins it for me.

neither. NHL 2004 is hands down the best hockey game on xbox this year. with 20 years franchise mode and a good history of solid games on pc and every other console it the developers know what fans want and can provide it without question so why wasn't it in the poll?
