THE GOOD:Graphics get better every year. Build stadium feature, control all aspects of the game from ticket prices to relocating your team.
THE BAD:
Sometimes the announcers say the wrong position, or yardage. Freezes occasionally mid-game.
SUMMARY:
If you like any of the EA sports titles, this is the one to have. All of the magazines rat this game in the high 90's which is amazing! Player holdouts make this game so realistic, they have all the same features as last year but a ton more. Smarter AI makes this game a little more realistic. Playing on the highest level is a little crazy. The CPU always intercepts and you can't do anything. The player who likes a challenge will have his hands full. You now have the ability to change players name and features.
Relocation teams that aren't doing well is a blast. The detail that goes into this game make it the best football game yet. I can only see better things in the future for the Madden Series.
There are a couple of glitches in this game but not enough to not buy it, like announcers not knowing whats going on during the play saying wrong names or stats. The replay has gotten better also, but its not perfect.
Online play for Madden 2004 is unreal. Better than the real game. Playing people across the country is the best thing that ever happened. It has the same gameplay and does not freeze or glitch at all.
Overall this game is one of the best ever. Madden has put another winner on the market!
