Almost Perfect |
| Joe says (19/Aug/2003): |
After reading some of the other reviews it seem that everyone is complaining about the same things. The main problem with 2004 is that the computer does tend to get way to many interceptions, especially ones that should not happen. Another one of my complaints is that it seems like the computer breaks tackles better and runs faster that anyone else that I ve played. Once these problems get solved Madden will be great.
The new owner mode that was added on this year is fun and very detailed. As the owner you set prices for tickets, beer, parking, jerseys, and anything else you could amagine. The one down side to the owner mode is that created teams can not be used.

| DD from Canada says (19/Aug/2003): |
I Love the gameplay and the new animations,also the stadiums look great. But my biggest complaint by far is the fact that ea stated u could build your stadium millions of ways what lie i played the game for three nights just to be able to renovate the stadium and what happens u build it just the same as creat a team. Also the logos are $#< remove me > at ! and nfl and old nfl logos don't even show up on the helmets that was so gay i swear if goin to be able to build new stadiums and jerseys make it so can put stuff from other stadiums and jerseys on your team cause if u can't its a wasted option.

Getting better and better |
| Mike from conneuat,oh says (19/Aug/2003): |
I was waiting for months untill madden would come out and when it finally did i got it a day before it acutally came out becasue i reserved it. It is so worth the wait. I love the franshice mode and i always have but now they made it better for me. i love it and all the other "football" games don't even come close.

always great??????? |
| SeVeN_Mile_DeTrOiT_Wh@T from Detroit Michigan USA!!!!!!!!! says (20/Aug/2003): |
the game is tight but there are some flaws. Like every madden title the computer always seems to blow up in the 4th quarter even after you've seemed to smash their brains out. Also fumbling the ball alot is real big.i was up on the bucs on all madden by 17 with 1 minute and 12 seconds left plus i had the ball. i lost the game because i fumbled 3 times inside my own 20. 3 plays in a row. Other than that the game has some great features like owner mode and the new traing camp. I waited a long time for this game to come out and when i got it I was fairly pleased with the outcome and will continue to buy the madden games for years to come.The funfactor in the game is very high to me because of the newly added owner mode. Setting your own prices for the tickets and merchandise and things is really cool. Very nice game but EA should fix the flaws for next years game. Big ups to the commentary as well,even though madden and al michaels say things at the wrong times like in all madden games.

Except for the new owner mode, every part of the gameplay is better in last years madden. i was disappointed in how the gameplay is set up. you fumble too much, and you can sack and get sacked way too easy. the franchise is awesome, i just wish that the gameplay aws better. when you ry to drop back to pass, you will get sacked easily if there is a blitz called (unless you have some guy... i think his name is michael vick???) they make vick too unstoppable. he is the tightest player in the NFL, but in this game he is too good. there are a lot of flaws, but a lot of cool new additions.

THE BEST! |
| Ben from Miami says (21/Aug/2003): |
madden 2004 is great but there is still some problems.I love the new owner mode and stuff but when u relocate to another city you have to create all new uniforms and you cant put the logo on the helmet.I love have realstic the game is and the online play.But it seems like john madden and al michaels have most of the same commentary as 2003.The last problem is about the online play,if ur kickin someones < remove me > at $$ the be a wussy and just quit and the game does not count.Whoever says madden is not the best football game is a coomplete luatic.

Incredible!!! |
| Kevin from Carson City, Nevada says (22/Aug/2003): |
Madden 2004 is the best Madden yet! It's awesome how you can create your own stadium, and also you can move your team to a different city. The franchise training camp is off the hook! It's great when I do the fantasy draft cause I can train my rookie draft picks. The best part is the owner mode! you can raise the prices of your parking, concessions, and more. I also love how you can sell free stuff on your fan appreciation days. If there's one game to get this year it's Madden 2004!!!

what a bunch of chumps! |
| cap/oklahoma from marietta, oklahoma says (23/Aug/2003): |
what are all of you babies whining about! i have never lost to the computer at any level. if i score less than 80 pts they have a good D. there are no miraculous comebacks! true i have noticed that upper teir teams tend to get away with plays in the fourth that they couldn't previously. why all this crying about playmaker. it gives a run defense a shot against a five reciever set. madden is the bomb! can we make the overrated michael vick a perrenial cover boy. he aint all that!!!! me and my buddy play kill each other on the game, but the cpu doesnt stand a chance. also im getting between 7-10 picks a game using playmaker so bite you losers!

Great new game but a few flaws |
| Gif from Middletown, De says (23/Aug/2003): |
Madden 2004 is a really great game. I like it because opponents can just throw deep on every play. The computer run db's have magnetic hands and get way too many interceptions. Sort underneath passes are the only ones that you'll complete with any regularity. Only longer pass patterns it's like the receivers have stone hands. If you are playing the computer in the allmadden mode and are winning in the 4th quarter, you will fumble way too many times, both on punt
returns and running plays. It is way to unrealistic. Donovan Mcnabb is way too slow, he can't outrun any of the defensive lineman. The franchise mode is nice and the training camp stuff is always pretty tight. The playmaker control is awesome, I like the blocking feature the best, on defense there doesn't seem to be much advantage using it. The computer controlled backs will still get about 5 yards, they break a lot of tackles. Overall it is a nice game.

the greatest of all |
| bluedragon63 says (24/Aug/2003): |
I can't belive some of u guys this is the greatest madden of all the ones I've played it's great who cares about ints or fumbles u guys should enjoy this game just wait until 2005 now that will be good heck better than good GREAT!!!well i just love this game and i'm enjoying it just fine
|
Stop cryin'cuz you can't pass or run! |
| Brownsbomber says (25/Aug/2003): |
I can't believe the whinning about this fantastic game! Here's an idea, learn to be patient and not throw into double coverage or when the CB has the inside lane! Didn't any of you guys play football in school? Second, try using the "Stiff-arm" buttons to change the ball from hand to hand to avoid having the defenders strip you! Crap, this game is sweet! I have been using the lowly Browns and I have not fumbled with my HB Green all season (13 games) and have only thrown 8 picks! And I am not even that good! So shut up whinners!

Madden Gameplay |
| Ziggy from Wilmington DE, USA says (25/Aug/2003): |
All this talk about ints, fumbles and the difficult gameplay has 1 easy solution; you need to stop playing this as Madden 2003 and start as Madden 2004. The games are very different. I think they did a great job in changing up the game, so the same things that worked in years past will not work this year. The first game I played as the Eagles v NE, I threw 8 ints and fumbled 2 punts. They have done very well to capitalize on your mistakes. I went into practice mode vs the TB defense, set both on random. I sat there for a couple of hours a day until I learned to find the open receiver, throw the ball away or run (when there was no spy). I'm not saying that I dominate now, I still find myself throwing into double-coverage and paying the price. It's a learning experience. Owner mode, online play are awesome. Please be a man and take the hit, if you are down, don’t unplug or disconnect, it makes one look like jerk.
Two things that did bother me about Madden:
1. Is Madden himself. He seems to ramble on and on, to the point that I'm running my next play and he is still talking away with out a care in the world. Easy fix I turned him off.
2. I fumbled a punt return, picked it up and returned it for a TD, but my scoring summary was all jacked up. It had the Bears as scoring the touchdown in a game played by the Eagles and Saints.
In no way does bring down an otherwise awesome game. It is just two things that I'd like them to change for next year.

fantastic!! |
| Kevin from Orlando, USA says (25/Aug/2003): |
i think this game has got 2 b one of the greatest!! i think the gameplay is great and playing it online is even better! id recomend this game to any football loving person!!! also the graphics are realistic! i dont think anyone should give this game ne lower than a 10 cuz 2 me on a scale of 1-10 i give it a 12

You guys are all stupid |
| Greg from Coon Rapids, MN USA says (25/Aug/2003): |
First of all it does tell you how many WR TE RB the offense is putting out there when you are on defense. Passing is easy you just throw to an open guy and you can get way more than 5 yards per pass throw a little play action at them and you can be wide open. Where is your hole? Get an offensive line and you can have one! Face it if your line sucks they arent gonna block as well as a good line. My only problems are its very hard to make money in owner mode and the whole super team every time in the 4th quarter. But still awesome add ons and I love this game!

TOUCHDOWN |
| Justin from SAN DIEGO says (29/Aug/2003): |
This is the GREATEST FOOTBALL OF ALL-TIME!!! I don't wanna hear all these winers saying Mike Vick is too good because I shut him down in my 1st season with the Redskins in the playoffs I beat his team 24-7 on all-pro. All u have to do is to use the QB Spy because hes obviously a great runner. I love how the cpu d puts pressure on u all u have to learn to do is screens and quick short passes instead of waiting for the long td pass. This game is so realistic the only problem is the secondary still isn't the best but hey its good enuff for me they pick off to many of my passes as far as I'm concerned. I love the new owner mode and all the ways u can make money like changin the name of ur stadium and I love how when u try to relocate they don't just let u, u have to come up with a good deal. THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC.

OHH YEAH |
| David Volpatti from Fruitvale,BC, Canada says (29/Aug/2003): |
How can you people be whining about fumbles and intereceptions, is there not ffumbles in football? This is the best game that i have ever played and a few interceptions arent gonna cahnge my mind. It works both ways they intercept a lot and so do u. As for rthge fumbles they only happen about once every 2 games so you people just shut up. the franchise is unreal and there is nothing better than than sitting back and playing a great game of Madden 2004

I am the greatest |
| A gamer says (30/Aug/2003): |
I like the game because it challenges me more than the maddens in the past. Even though I went through my first season with my averages being: 500yrds passing w/ vick, 150yrds rushing w/ dunn & 150yrds recieving with him also, and price aver. was 275yrds. i am the ultimate player. the last time i was beat in any madden was madden 98 on playstationone. and for anyone out there talking down on this game learn how to play, and if you think that you can play try me.

just read it |
| ben from new york says (30/Aug/2003): |
well to me madden 04 was a HUGE disappontment. granted the new playmaker control was good the game has some very very weak AI problems. first off if you are the eagles, or another good team and you play the lions or anybad team on pro you have NO pass protection you really need to adapt to having like 3 seconds to throw,90% of the time no one is open and you take the sack. one more thing come on in the pouring rain there is no evidence that the rain even came down like no puddles or anything on the field. COME ON MADDEN FOOTBALL YOUR BETTER THAN THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vick is totally FAKE |
| Chauncey Gates from Denver, Colorado says (30/Aug/2003): |
Madden is a freaking beast ass game, what is it with licking Vick's balls, the man has a damn 94 speed in the game, and infinte stamina. Only way to counter the fakeness of Vick, is use Seneca Wallace on the Seahawks....a bit more realistic in speed ranked at 82. Is it just me or does Al Michaels talk too damn much in this game, Madden wont shutup, giving us 30 minute lectures on formations and completions. Good change in commentary, just that they need to shutup a little bit. Wheres Lisa Gurrero

FUC**** Awsome. The best eva!!!! |
| beau from Abbotsford Bc canada says (1/Sep/2003): |
The extremely detailed season mode and owners box make this the best football and dare i say it best game ever(sorry gta vice city) the computer is so hard to beat but it is extremely rewarding when u do so. the players move and run realistically even during the middle of 2 plays madden 2004 rocks the casbaugh
