1.0 out of 5 stars
Enough is enough already, September 12, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Madden NFL 2004 (Video Game)
What we have here is an exact clone of Madden 2001-2002 and 2003; plays the same, looks the same, sounds the same. Obviously not very much attention has been focused on the psone versions of the game the past couple of years due to the game being on the superior systems of today. Is there anything new to be found here? Well.. there's the updated rosters as always, the Falcons new uniform and logo and there's the Eagles new stadium, Lincoln Financial Field. Apparently EA forgot that the Seahawks moved to a new stadium last year as they're still playing at the one the Washington Huskies do. The same game modes are there; exhibition game, regular season play, practice, coaches corner.. earn those madden cards again by accomplishing tasks during gameplay.. you get it by now. There's new music tracks so the game player doesn't have to endure the sounds of the likes of Bon Jovi or Good Charlotte *puke* not that it's much of a bargain this year. Anyway, there's no option to edit the classic teams of yesteryear, not all the alternate uniforms are there (not the biggest deal maybe, the Dolphins covered in complete aqua is rather revolting).
The same old 16 bit classic game was added *yawns loudly* again. I haven't dabbled in the franchise mode but I can only imagine that's pretty much the same as well. With that being said, It's still a worthy buy depending upon whether you've played last year's game or the other two that I mentioned in the begining. Otherwise I suggest sticking with any of those past additions in the Madden series, just bring in the recent draft picks through player creation and make other proper modifactions concerning this year's rosters and save your money until you can purchase either a Gamecube, PS2 or an Xbox. You'll be glad you did once you've played Madden on any of those platforms.

Nerd Game, January 27, 2004
This review is from: Madden NFL 2004 (Video Game)
Being a big nerd i enjoy playing this game very much. The graphics are excellent and the sound is by far the best i've seen these many years. But the main reason i gave this game a 5-star rating is so people could see whether to buy this game or just to sit around bored. If you're bored, this is the game to buy. So insted of sitting here reading reviews get out there and start playing some good ol' football to become a nerd just like me. I love you John. Happy footballing ;)

HORRIBLE GAMEPLAY, October 5, 2003
This review is from: Madden NFL 2004 (Video Game)
i've bought all the NFL games since 1998, and this one is actually the worse of them all. It has a great franchise mode, but the gameplay is just awful. there are far too many bugs exploited by the computer that result in long BS plays. you will find yourself buying a new controller every week to replace the one you broke against the wall after a 90 yard TD pass on 3rd and 25.
