| Lukes from San Fernando California says (20/Jan/2004): |
Just like th millions of true madden series fans, i too went out the day it went on sale as a matter of fact i called in sick, in any case i think the game overall is the best so far, play maker is awesome, my only problem i can seem to make my own play books, can someone show me how to creat a playbook, i know how to create a play book, but cant seem to incoporate it into the actual game play, maybe im ovelrooking somehting but i go throught thotions of creatin the customized plays but when it saves them and i got to play the actuall game , my plays are no where to be found, this is the only thing i cant figure out an i know it probably seems stupid becasue i know the answer is satring at me directly in my face but can some one take a few minutes to explain to me how that works, thanks

THE PATS ARE THE BEST |
| Mack from Temple Hills, USA says (1/Oct/2005): |
THE PATRIOTS ARE THE BEST. The best thing about using the New England Patriots, is that they have good defense and good offense along with special teams. The only thing that you need to worry about is the offense and deffensive lines. When on defense, I find it best to use either Rodney Harrison or Lawyer Milloy in the strong and far safety positions so that you can blitz if you have to or double check the wide recievers and wideouts. Also you can pick off passes for easy interceptions and the two safeties have good speed so that they can return the interception for some yards.
On offense you should usually hit the wide recievers on the slants or if one of them is doing a curl or button hook. Try not to throw it down the middle because there is a high chance that it will get picked off. Also trade Corey Dillon to the New England Patriots because he is a strong running back and unstoppable if you know how to use him. You should always take it mostly up the middle of the field and stiff arm a lot as well as side stepping and spinning to get extra yardage. Corey Dillon rarely fumbles, so use that to your advantage and dont be afraid to truck people. IM done have fun.

Online Game Play |
| Dave from GR michigan says (31/Jan/2004): |
Hey, all you online gamers. I will give you tips to help you win 8 or 9 out of 10 games. Depending on how you play there are several teams to be. Of course everyone knows about the Falcons and Michael Vick, but use them to your advantage. They lack on defense, but they more then make up for it on offense. Select the run and gun offense witht he balance d playbooks. Switch your fullback to TJ Duckett. Set your audibles to Shotgun 2 back -- the rb out play. It is the first play to the far left of the playboof. 2nd audible set to Shotgun 2 back ... QB sneak up the middle --- it is the middle play when you push down on the controller one time. Then pick Shot gun trips HB out. It is the middle play when you push down on the controller once. Then set Shotgun Trips WR out it is the play to the far right when you push down on the controller two times. On defense select 4-3 man cover, dime man cover, 3-4 man cover and 4-6 rush outside. This way you cans top the run and pass. If you know they are passing select dime man cover and pull your defensive lineman to the middle of the fiel;d to stop the pass over the middle to the tight end. once you get good you can beat 80% of the people just by using your audibles all game.

All your are ideas are o.k., but mine is the best |
| A gamer from Belleville,Michigan says (25/Apr/2004): |
IF you create a whole different roster on you favorite team. Your team will be able to beat all Nfl teams. And on the off-season you can rebuild your stadium and add different stuff.
By the way this is all on the franchise mode. If was to create your own team and go to franchise mode you want be able to have owners' mode because you will have to make your own coach and get more of them to sign to your them.After one year of franchise you will have owners' mode. When your team is the best for the exception of my team,all you have to do is simulate the game, and do it til the last game. Other than that Madden Nfl 2004 is the best game there is to play. And I just can't wait til Madden Nfl 2005 comes out and I will sent some Infomation again, then I buy the game. so hit me up on my email!
If you have any questions or promblems email me at t-mac2< remove me > at comcast.net

Salary Cap Turn off |
| Mike from Lake Charles, La says (27/Oct/2003): |
Me and my buddies figured out how to turn salary cap off. first you need to creat a player and make him all 99's. while your creating him put him on a team with less than 7 million left in cap room. after you create him it will pop up a screen that it will disable salary cap for all teams. push a and then go to the team that you put him on and relase him. if you save that to your memory card it will turn salary cap off for all of your teams.

this game kicks @$$!!! |
| Josh from MIAMI FL says (18/Aug/2003): |
Madden 2004 is the best football game I've played so far. The only thing I don't like is that when you play defense you can't see what formation the computer is going to pick. So if the cpu goes with 4 receivers and you go out with only 2 CB's then linebackers have to adjust, but that's no problem for me cause I am playing as MIAMI and Dolphin's defense kicks < remove me > at $$. which sucks cause there some lb's that can't keep up with receivers. Owner mode is really fun cause it let you move your team to a different city and build new stadiums. Overall I give it a 9.9

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.

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

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.

Deep Game With Many Features |
| Daniel from Kenner, LA says (13/Aug/2003): |
Last year I purchased NFL2K3 for PS2 and I was happy with the game overall. This year I decided to give Madden a try because I knew that neither game would disappoint this year. The first thing I noticed about the game is there are many play modes and features. The owner mode for me is great because I'm into the financial aspect of sports too. It's amazing the amount of control you have in this game from on the field to off the field. On the field they have added playmaker control meaning you can change your strategy for a play before the snap on offense and defense. This adds for more control than just the common audible system. The game is fun to play and pretty challenging so far, but no game can hold me back for long.
My complaints are that the graphics are a little behind the NFL2K (now ESPN football) series. Graphically in my opinion Madden doesn't compete, but obviously there are other reasons to buy games than just how they look. The sounds are a little weak in some areas and of course commentary will never be what we all wish it would be. Other than those 2 weak areas the game is deep enough to keep you playing for a long time. I know I will!!

not such the game |
| mike from milwaukee wi says (15/Aug/2003): |
Madden 2004 has a lot of flaws and inconsistancys, first lets look at the excitment of the game it sucks there is not enough crowd involved its the same old madden talking and he says nothing new since 2002 madden second the players dont look anything like the real ones third the players still look like high school players!
fourth when you are on offense when the computer rushes in isnt that suppose too leave a few receivers open no not in madden its perfect computer play this is not realistic! fith what is with the tackling it stinks its the same old leg tackling or bump the guy and he always lands on his stomach. If you havent played the sega football i suggest you try it real tackling real looking players and great fan involvment. madden 2004 only has the advantage over sega in the owner mode that is it in my opinon.

Disapointment |
| killercombo23 from LA says (15/Aug/2003): |
I was really hype, I couldn't wait for the new Madden to come out, then I got it... Let me start with the graphics, basically it looks the same as 2003 but some of the players have black marks on their arms. I guess that is supposed to be tatoos but it looks nothing like em. Anyway, that's not my big gripe. The computer is determined to make the games close no matter what! I tested this theory by playing the Raiders vs. Bengals 5 times. Every game I jumped out to a huge lead (Raiders of course) and every time it was tied or the computer had the lead at the end of the 4th Quarter! My team commited fumble after fumble, all of a sudden NFL MVP Rich Gannon was playing like it was the Super Bowl!!! The first game I had a total of 9 turn-overs (6 fumbles 3 pics), the second game was pretty much the same 5 fumbles and 2 pics, and so on. I don't know who at EA came up with this "keep the games close no matter what" idea but for the first time ever I might buy the SEGA football game 2K4 or ESPN, whatever they are calling it! Sorry, Madden you lost me...

Madden 2004 goes down in history (Rebels dynasty will be broken) |
| Trey from Pittsburgh, USA says (15/Aug/2003): |
This must be the greatest sports game to ever land on this Earth. There are so many features it makes the other years inferior. The rolling out view in offense is amazing and the make-your-own stadium mode is unbeatable. The only problem with this game that i can see is that the player Francis St. Paul was not added to the roster. I mean this guy was a legend in madden 2002 and 2003 though he was the Wayne Primeau of football in real life. But all in all this game beats all others.

Madden is #1 |
| Colton from Chicago says (17/Aug/2003): |
I always thought Microsofts NFL Fever was the best until I got Madden 2004. I don't think i could go back to playing Fever after playing Madden 2004 but I still think X-Box owns PS2. PS2 may have better titles but the controls and game play just isn't as good as the X-box! by the way... the kid from Georgia you are an idiot... you have no proof that it is michael vick and why would he be playing it online? and mike hunt... your name my cunt is not funny, you are 13 and you are better than no one. you are one of those people that used to play nfl fever online and and create your own team so it's rated 100 so stfu you dumb ass.

I LOVE THIS GAME |
| Dave from philadelphia says (17/Aug/2003): |
i love madden 2004. it is the greatest game ever made but with the new owner mode it beats outs every other madden.
the only things that i think are wrong with the game is the fact madden and al michaels sound the same as in 2003 and 2002 and the other thing is that there are way to many ninetys and eighties this makes the game uneven and less of a challenge
other then that this game is great
|
its not the same |
| jon from buffalo n.y says (17/Aug/2003): |
i was just as hyped as the next man but they dont let you pick the bills playbook if your any other team at the screen before the game like in the old one you hit o and change your playbook uniformsetc.... all the routes are post in and believe me i master this game every year and this year any one can score defense is not tight.

There is so much to say, but I don't want to type that much........okay maybe. |
| Shawn W. from Rapid City, USA says (18/Aug/2003): |
Where do I start? Madden has done it again. Every year I play till the next one comes out, always to the day it comes out. I am a big time Falcon fan (not just cuz of Vick like other bandwagon jumpers) for years now. Vick's speed is realistic, and so are all the linebacker speeds. Alot are as fast as running backs and possession receivers. The tackles are very nice, the new accellerated clock is perfect for time of possession realism, and the owner mode? Whoa. I am about to put the Falcons in a new Hi Tech Stadium and raise the prices of everything, everyone wants to see Vick. jk There is just a few suggestions I have, like maybe they should make Madden a linkable game. You know, so you can play w/your friends at home, w/two TV's and 2 consoles etc. Then you could only see the personell the the offense is putting on the field, like when you play the computer. And mayber look at the replays on the field while your homey picks their play or vice versa. It would take the whole playing w/your boys to a whole new level as well.

Quitters, Pullers, Disconnectors, A.K.A. Online Messer Uppers |
| MoKnowsDee from Fort Riley, KS says (19/Aug/2003): |
I have a major problem playing so called Madden Ballers that quit the game because their getting whipped on the field. Even if the other player is up by 100 points PLAY IT TO THE BONE! The game is hella tight and the online experience makes it even better. But the thing that needs to be addressed is the way your wins and losses are updated. Obviously if you're like me and actually know how to keep it real. Rank is everything online. This determines who will or won't play with you. So to sum it all up if you talk hella smack offline don't go online too many Quitters, Pullers, Disconnectors, A.K.A Online Messer Uppers! EA fix this NOW Please!
