Worth the $20? They didn't lower the price because it sucked. They lowered it because Sega is ****ing smart. With sports games, people pick their brand, and buy that every new year. That's $50 every year on virtually the same game. Sega is going further for the consumer and lowering the price to $20. Sega knows what we want, and they gave it to us. Sega is going to sell more copies of their ESPN sports games at the new price, and it will also bring new consumers to the brand.
So in review, it's not a bad game, it's just damn good marketing.
