Editorial Review

Every year the Madden franchise significantly improves upon previous incarnations, and Madden NFL 99 is no exception. 1999's edition is packed with options, including arcade, practice, and brand new franchise modes, which complement the usual fare of season, exhibition, and tournament play. The franchise mode is the most engrossing feature in the game, allowing 15 seasons of realistic play including player retirements, performance-based ratings changes, annual drafts of fictional college players, and the conventional trades, free agency, and salary cap settings.

OK, so the management options are fun--but how does the game look and play? Fantastic. The players are scrupulously detailed and animated, while the improved Artificial Intelligence system makes for a challenging opponent. One flaw is the confounding menu and play interface. It's too complicated and tends to make play-calling too much of a pain. But any presentation qualms quickly go to the bottom of the pile when considering the polished, true-to-life play of Madden NFL 99. --Sajed Ahmed

Pros:

• Authentic NFL stadiums and real-life NFL players, from past and present
• Play editor lets you create your own offensive and defensive plays
• Team-specific playbooks designed by actual NFL coaches
• 120 current and classic teams

Cons:

• Madden and Summerall aren't quite as garrulous
• Complicated interface can take some getting used to

EA sports does it again with this realistic football game. The graphics are great and has smooth game play. Francise mode allows you to play several continuous seasons with the same team. I'd reccommend this game to any sports fan.

The franchise mode is so great. The realism is fantastic....from salary cap implications, to drafting, to executing plays....it's great! The game play is very good and yet very real. Buy this game, you cannot go wrong!

This review is from: Madden NFL 99 (Video Game)

The playability in this game I think has improved greatly and the graphics are first class. To the wannabe Pro Footballer this is a must have to the max. The only thing that is slightly irritating is hearing Madden's voice the whole time.
