Video Game Reviews of Madden NFL 2004
Customer Review: Huge Improvement Over 2003 and the Best Madden Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been playing Madden since the Nintendo days and while I've seen some disappointing sequels in the famous series, this year's version is probably the biggest annual upgrade ever. While the game has added brand new GM features that allow you to control ticket prices, coach hiring, stadium building and other fun stuff, if you truly want to experience Madden the way it was meant to be played, you need to play against humans. Unpredictable strategy, smart motioning and audibles, and jukes that will shake you out of your shoes are what make human opponents so much better than the CPU. Because Madden's online game matching service (EASO) is free this year, it's very easy to go online and find hundreds of random opponents ready to test your mettle. Perhaps the biggest improvement in this year's version is EASO itself. It's much more difficult for opponents to get away with cheating and quitting in this year's EASO. The eternal football sim battle rages on and everyone has their own arguments why their title is the best but I've tried all the popular titles and I still believe Madden is the most realistic football simulator out there. Just keep in mind that this game assumes you already know a lot of basic football techniques and strategy and while the game can be easily learned, it takes years to master.Customer Review: Better graphics than on PS2!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best games EVER, Madden 2004 rumbles on. 2004 is much better! The jagged edges of the players and field have been removed. The graphics are better than on PS2. Everyone else covered the basics, heres a huge pro-con list:Pros:
Best graphics of any game next to GTAVC
Easier to do hot routes (and hot blocks!)
OWNER MODE - AWESOME! infinite power over your franchise!
Create-a-stadium
Create-a-playbook is much easier
Easy 2 learn controls
Micro-Manage and Micro-General Manage your team.
30 Year franshise mode
Really good draft prep
Plamaker control (if u hav a controller)
Cons:
NO MADDEN CARDS
NO MADDEN 101 (only console)
QBs fumble when they dive (more than real life)
Hard to escape the pass rush
Hard to run to the outside
Overall, the PS2 edges the cpu version out by a hair but if you dont have a PS2, it is DEFINETELY worth the money. Gamecube and XBOX versions are choppier and CPU and PS2 are better.
Customer Review: WHAT A GREAT GAME!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have no idea what all these people are talking about. THis is by far the greatest footbal, for that matter sports game, ever created. The owner mode, giving you complete control over your franchise, is unlike anything i have ever seen. With so many different aspects this game is by far the greatest Madden ever. Its a must buy for any true sports gamer!!!Customer Review: Madden 04, best football game ever
Summary: 4 Stars
Madden 2004 is so much better than 2003. The graphics are better, I love playmaker control, and the overall gameplay is better. There's just one flaw I would like to point out. Sometimes a player will catch the ball in the endzone or past the first down marker and his momentom will carry him out of the endzone or not past the first down marker. If you tackle him there, they still call it a touchdown or first down. It's kind of annoying, but it doesn't happen a lot. Overall, I think this game is the best football game ever, but it could be better. Madden 05 is gonna be sick.Customer Review: One of the best Madden games I;ve ever played!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is really an awsome game. It has all the things you want in a football game. You can get attributes for your players. It's really a great game. I recommend this game you should get it.
