Video Game Reviews of Madden NFL 2004
Customer Review: Much better than 2003
Summary: 4 Stars
Madden 2004 for the Pc is not much different from the console version. I can't say that the graphics are better or worse. Still, the graphics are pretty dang good.
Players - The players look great. From the tattoos to the weight, they all look different. I can tell the difference between a 300 pound lineman and a 180 pound reciever.
Uniforms - All uniforms are accurate and look slick. You can even see the little tiny holes in the jerseys. I can't remember if the uniforms get dirty or not.
Managing - You can manage all aspects of the game. From ticket prices to the price of hot dogs in the stands. But if you're having a poor season, don't expect many people to show up to the stadium.
Tackling - Only two player tackles, which sucks. Often times a third person runs up to make a tackle only to fall flat on his face. This is a major problem because sometimes he gets hurt when missing that tackle. Oh well, it's a step up from only one player tackles in the 2003 version.
Coverage - Don't play on the rookie setting because your recievers will
smoke the DB's. The computer player often plays soft on rookie, but when you bump the settings up a little it can be a challenge to get a pass off without getting it intercepted. You'll need to mess around with the setting sliders a little to get things even.
Passing - Compared to 2003, the passing game is awesome. When you rollout to pass, you perfectly plant your back foot and make an awesome throw. In 2003 it was wobbly when you threw the ball running and the mechanics wasn't right.
Running - Stiff arms, Jukes etc... But same thing as the covergae, you'll
need to mess around with the setting sliders to get things right. On the rookie setting you can gain 15 yards a pop, on higher settings they really stuff you at the line.
Other - Trade, sign, draft, retirements, camp, practice etc.. it's all here. I must say that I never could fix the sliders just right to make it completely realistic. And that's 3 years of trying to do so. But it's fun if you like great graphics and managing every aspect of a football team.
