This game sucks |
| James from Indiana,USA says (13/Dec/2003): |
Madden 2004 sucks. If you play on pro the cpu will always force you to either throw an interception or fumble the ball. If they kick an onside kick it is almost impossible to recover it. And even if they begin to play fair and fumble the ball you will hardly ever get it. Plus the create fake scenarios like one time, i fumbled the ball(in the 4th quater) and they magicly made it fly back from my hand hit my foot and fall inbounds! I was so mad i could have beat that game with a hammer. And, since I got the game back in August I have been trying to get the 85 bears madden card and i still havent got it. Yeah sure the music and graphics are pretty good but that ain't worth a < remove me > at #$% when it comes to playing the game. I dont think the makers of the game even made cheat codes to get any of the madden cards. That really sucks. I think any game should have cheat codes. I hope that they make the game for 2005 way way better than this game. I think this may be the worst cheatingest madden ever made in the history of madden. I think this game sucks really bad.

| Madden04rocks from USA! says (2/Dec/2003): |
This is the best sports game i have ever played in my life. The franchise mode is awesome how you can set prices, but the gameplay is awesome. The game is very realistic, and the soundtrack is the best in ANY game. If you have the network adapter and can play online, its even better. If you don't have this game, don't be afraid to buy it. Online is hard, but even so its addicting. I give it tens stars. Please if you dont have it go out and buy it, you will not be disappointed, i promise. Its a football fans dream.... Another cool thing is that if you have online, you can update the rosters and its cool b/c those rosters go offline too. Headset is good for it too, though i dont have one yet, im gonna buy one. The playmakers are cool, but the best part is that you can do soooo much on defense such as shifting the corner backs and safetys to tighter D, or loosing them up for a pass. You can do the same w/ linebackers, but you can move them up for a blitz or back for a cover. AND the defensive line can tighten up or loosen out. Its so cool. buy it

FGO figure it out |
| Aaron from Jacksonville says (2/Dec/2003): |
Well as for me I think the game is stupid. You cannot run through 11 different guys and then bounce off someone else who is tackling you from behind. If it was realistic you would get stoped every fourth and 5, but all you have to do is throw the ball up and even if they are tripled covered they can pull it down and somehow keep their feet inbounds for a touchdown. I would like to meet that pro football player that can out run the best corner in the game with the best free and strong safty over the top and pull the ball down. It is bull#$%, and everyone out there knows it. I know that the graphics are good and so is the music, but make the game like it is on the field (REAL) and one more thing tell Madden to shut up, he does not know what he is talking about half the time, and he thinks he does.
I think the kid from Fargo is a retard, if you know anything about football it is not that easy to run and then out of the blue throw a play action pass. Get a clue, you have never touched a real football in your life.

Madden 2004 is ok but can be better. |
| Zinc from Arlington,Virginia USA says (28/Nov/2003): |
Madden 2004 is good but can be better. I like the way you can price your own tickets and merchandise. It is reall realistic. But the only thing that got was phony tackles. Also when you play on all madden level they cheat like hell , I played with my favorite team the Redskins and the made Trung Canadate fumble 3 time in the 1st Quarter. And last but not least they should make the new different facemask that they added because on the game the make the O line have the halfe cage mask or the whole cage helment. So other than that the game kicks a**.

I think that it is the best maddan game made so far |
| A gamer from canada says (27/Nov/2003): |
I think that it is one of the best PS2 games out on the market right now! I really liked it! The graphics are tha best in this game!! I think that there is alot of football players out there in this world, and all the ppl that i know that have played this game say that it is the coolest game that Maddan has made for a long time!

this game is awesome!!!!!!! |
| A gamer from swuanne,usa says (27/Nov/2003): |
this game is awesome bacause it has awesome graphics and you can fake people out really good but i wish you could start a season with a historic teams or you could put historic players on your own team like barry sanders i think owner mode is really cool bacause you can set your food with your own prices.

It Could improve |
| A gamer from New York says (27/Nov/2003): |
The graphics in madden are great. I wish they wood have a little better music though. N it is way to easy to win the game. on pro level you score n then they score n in the end u always win. it gets boring after awhile. N if you dont export the people from ncaa(is amazing too) tehn the people in the draft suck. your firsdt pick might be ok but from then on out there overall r all 60s n stuff. also i think it wood be sweet if you could have practice sesions in your owner mode and improve your people before the next game. N if your facing the worst team in the league or the best team in the league, the game still turn out the same usually. I wish they teams wood play the same way they play in real life. another thing i thik that would be is if they wood have interviews with player and coaches. it wood get you more into the game! The game is still amazing though

Madden '04 is $h!t on sale for 49.99 |
| A gamer from Georgia says (24/Nov/2003): |
Madden 2004 is possibly the worst madden to ever be sold. The graphics and music are awesome but thats about all it has going for it. I have an older brother I play agains and the game literally cheats. The game seems to always want 1st player to win. The crap wont allow 2nd player to get a 21 point lead without giving player 1 at least 14 points. Also if you play as second player you'll notice that once you take a lead you will have about 4 consecutive drives when you either throw a pick or drive down field and fumble inside teh 20. I hate madden '04 if you want a realistic football game Ncaa is definitely the way to go.

A Great Game |
| Nathan from Antioch, USA says (23/Nov/2003): |
I thought that the game was going to be better but, I like it alot more then 2003. I thought the ownwer mode was cool. This game was geared towards real life because of the training camps and other stuff in franchise. I am the Raiders right now and we are doing good and after my first few seasons i signed Jerry Rice as my head coach.Plus i signed Rich Gannon as my offensive coordinator. I would recomend this game to whoever likes realistic game play and is waiting for a good NFL game up to date.

Good, but could be made better in '05 |
| Erik from Brookhaven, PA , USA says (18/Nov/2003): |
Great game, but they tease you with the historic teams. They need to give the names and correct numbers for historic players. You should also be able to trade or sign the historic players to your team. now I have to find all the old rosters online so I can spend forever adjusting the historic teams to be correct. I like the graphics and gameplay. The owner mode is cool. I still have trouble with the cap though. I build a team that is good for one or two years, but then I don't have enough cap space to sign players through the draft. But the best would be able to sign the old "Steel Curtin" and the new Rams offense for example. Bottom line name and properly number Historic players, and make them available for trade to a new era team.

Madden 2004 sucks |
| joey from morristown, usa says (14/Nov/2003): |
madden is so fake. all you need to win is a fast QB. call a pass and roll out. the D will run away and give you a 20 yard hole to run into. the D also will not dive when they are centimeters away. its so $#< remove me > at !in gay. also, a team like the chiefs should be madd good at running with priest, but they dont even run. and the bengals are just as hard to beat as the bucs. they need to make the teams play the way they do in real life. if you want a good football game, NCAA 2004 is the one to choose
Madden 2004 sucks!!!

My thoughts |
| sean from Winnipeg,Manitoba,Canada says (13/Nov/2003): |
Madden 2004 is sooooooooooooooooooooo great i got it like 2 weeks ago and i always play after school the graphics are great but there should be more of the peniltys because i would like to see randy moss take a taughting penilty or they start fighting but...I like the fourth quarter comebacks when i do them lol its not immpossible to win is your down by 3 td or more i was the falcons(because of Vick)after i made Vicks overall 84 and shockeys 88 i came back after giving up my first pass for a int and down 4 td at the end of the 1st i came back to win anywhy so why do people complain its just a game its soooooooooooooooooooooooo boring if you win all the time. this is a must buy game.

Best Football game around!! |
| speedy3743 from Fargo, ND says (12/Nov/2003): |
Madden 2004 by far the most realistic gameplays ever..All the people complaining about throwing interceptions, learn to run the ball, it isn't that hard to do, even if you only get a few yards at a crack. Then you can throw in a play action and its easy picking. But yes sometimes it won't work and you'll get burnt by a DB staying home. Also use your hot routes to your advantage if you see a DB backing off a reciever have him do a 5 yard hook. This game isn't like previous madden games where it was fun and gun..This is like real football take what the defense gives you..
All in all, madden is a great game for anyone that knows or what to learn about how football should really be played.

If only.................... |
| Sean from Winnipeg,Manitoba,Canada says (11/Nov/2003): |
this game all most perfect because of it gameplay but i hate the challages because its cheap the refs are blind.The worst thing is that Vicks too good same with Shockey he suxs.I think they should have CFL teams not Europe because i never watch Europe games but I love CFL.The playmaker is hard to do if your running the ball because its hard to juke and stuff while telling blockers to block some one.The 4th quarter comeback pisses me off you got the game won then you lose by a last second field goal which they rarly miss.BUT THIS GAME IS STILL THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Madden 2004 is the best football game ever made! |
| Joshua Winfrey from Memphis ,Tennessee(United States) says (8/Nov/2003): |
Madden 2004 is the best game ever in my opinion because it brings the real game inside your home. It feels like you are really in the game. I like the editions in the edit player column. The main thing I like about this game is that it really uses the teams playbook. They have special plays for certain people on your team! EA Sports has really outdone themselves!!

Great game that could be better |
| blake bullard from Stillwater, OK says (7/Nov/2003): |
i love the game, franchise mode especially. dont like that you can only improve one player from each position in the offseason camps though. you can improve your starting and backup QBs, your kicker and punter, but you only have one possible option for your entire O-line, and even that can be used for your DL and LBs, and they only have 2 options between like 18 starting players. i also dont like how the computer passes for 500 yards a game, and the only defensive players that go to the probowl are my entire secondary. i guess having my entire o-line go to the probowl every year is cool too, but it gets expensive. i wish free agency was more realistic, like starting before the draft, and having a june 1st cut down day. when signing a player to a contract extention, i wish we could determine how to deviate from year to year the players salary, instead of it being really cheap the first couple years and then really really high the last couple. overall though, its a great game and its come along way.

don't whine, practice. |
| Mungo from West Village, NYC says (7/Nov/2003): |
This game is amazing. Stop complaining that you fumble too much and that you throw too many interceptions.
If you fumble a lot, it's likely because the defense is trying to strip the ball while you're sprinting. Think about a real player. When he gets hit, he covers up and protects the ball. He doesn't start stiff-arming and spinning around.
Don't throw impossible passes, and you won't be intercepted. If your WR has a step, but the DB is faster (and baiting you into throwing), you might throw an interception.
If you're throwing for 500 yards, try upping the level. If it's already up, try putting on the accelerated game clock. Also, real NFL teams don't choose from 1 of 10 plays as soon as they get tackled, and then snap the ball as soon as they get to the line. Unless you're behind, take time to read the defense, tweak your routes, put a receiver in motion to add a blocker or see if the D is in man or zone, etc. You don't need to play the, "let me see how many plays I can run" game.
Vick is amazing in Madden 2004. Vick is amazing in the NFL (when he's not injured). Deal with it. Put a fast spy on him. Why do you think he's on the cover of the box? Because he's good at football. You can beat him if you are creative. Don't always run the same play. The AI will figure it out.
This game is amazing if you put the time in to practice. Draft your own team --- get Vick if you want. Don't complain when he leaves for more money. Most NFL players would.
Enjoy!

the best |
| A gamer from TRENTON, USA says (5/Nov/2003): |

What A Game |
| Madden Fan from Pittsburgh, Pa says (4/Nov/2003): |
Madden 2004 is an incredible game. The only bad thing about it is that some players are bad the year before but when the game comes out there still good. Then when the Panthers and Cheifs are having a huge season so far and there horrible in Madden 2004. I wish there was a wa that the teams got better as the season progressed in real life. Madden is a great game and i will continue getting it the 1st day the new version somes out.
