THE GOOD:
-once you pop, you can't stop
-realistic enough, not street.
-good graphics
-make your own plays

THE BAD:
-ummmmm, there's a bad???

SUMMARY:
This is an exellent sports game. I own both fever and madden football games for my xbox and I think they are both exellent games (NFL Fever needs to get Manning off the cover though, it's ruining the game man!). People are going to remember the Madden football game name for years to come, and if they don't, then they are probably getting coloring books for X-mas for the rest of their lives. The soundtrack, the graphics, the gameplay, the weapons all come together in one exellent football game soup. As redemption already mentioned, some people say this game is too short, but a football game is limitless, you could play a football game forever, with this one you are gauranteed to never get bored. 4 thumbs up.

THE GOOD:
-innovative playmaker control
-deep franchise mode
-great graphics
-owner mode is the best
-fun game play

THE BAD:
-no online play
-no names on the historic teams
