According to EB, all the other ESPN's are still the full 50.

I have to wait and see what ESPN has to offer and hope that they lower their price too.

I know EB still lists the other ESPN games as 50, but they had the NFL2k5 as 50 up until a few weeks ago (when it was officially announced.) Which means that sega wants to wait and see how well it works with NFL2k5 and then they'll decide if they want to drop the prices on the others. I don't know for sure but I'm guessing the NBA games sell slightly better than the NHL games (though it wouldn't shock me if it were the other way around as Video hockey's popularity actually seems to be better than real hockey) and thus I would suspect that NBA2k5 might get the 19.99 treatment.
As for myself, as we speak I'm playing a little FSU vs UF in NCAA 2005, man I can't believe how much fun this game is. I must admit that sega could learn a thing or two from EA as far as presentation goes, but EA could defiantly learn something from SEGA in the Gameplay and Graphics departments.
NFL2k5 is shipping on Tuesday so I should have that by the end of next week and I can't wait to see how much they improved it. It'll be my 3rd year in a row with the series and I expect big things. NCAA has not turned me into a Madden supporter, but I defiantly have a new found respect for EA Sports. Because of this game I'm also seriously considering picking up Xbox Live.
The last hockey game I bought was Powerplay (? 989's hockey game) 98 for PS1, and the last good hockey game I bought was NHL 95 for the SNES and I think I'll change that this year. I'll have to try out both NHL 2005 and NHL2k5 before I decide.
