How many people still play this online?

[Dondadda]

You can get a used XBOX now for $40 or less, and with this still being my favorite all time sports game, it's time to get back online with it (league included).

My question is - how many people are there online still playing it? If I wanted to find a game, would it be tough?

Not many. I doubt it's worth the cost of going online. I think the only online XBox1 game that still has a large audience is Halo2.

Yea you will find a game. but it will be against the same people all the time. Its a very FEW that play but still play often. You wont have any leagues and not updated rosters. I did play for a while online and played over 50 games before i gave up. I was on 360 n most r on regular. There was many frustations of waiting for games or playing thru 2 mins of first quarter before it freezes. That was because of the 360 tho. You will get clean smooth games on the regular xbox, buts not like you get online and have 10 people to choose from. You might have 5 or more on a good day but those might just have walked away from the game and left it on.

Basicly on a given day 1-5 people on a day with big spikes during football season (super bowl). On regular xbox the games should be fine and enought playing that you can find games. Just may be the only person on is the one you dont like.

daflyboys is right.... probably not worth your money for only online, but once you update rosters its fun offline again.

Thanks for the feedback, fellas. I was thinking about trying to get my old league members to all get Xboxes to bring this game back to life.

What does 2004 have to do with 2009? I dont care what happened to YOU because you are in the minority on that. If you dont have the disc dont waste this guys times. Times changes things get better. the game may be the same but servers upgrade. Give him up to date information. Not 2004.

No, only xbox servers are up. Ps2 ones are down so no ps3.
