Madden 2004 Don't Believe the Hype |
| P. Chalk from Miami, Fl USA says (8/Sep/2003): |
The hype can't live up to the reality. It's better than words can describe. I was kind of enthused about the new release but nothing could have prepared me for the actual experience. First of all the all-new owner mode will keep you addicted. From setting concession and ticket prices to advertising costs, this version will have you pulling your hair out trying to sustain a profit. This in addition to keeping your team in their winning ways. Playmaker mode is totally awesome. This game is for anyone who craves football realism. Go out and get it today.

how to play defense |
| jim from northlake ill usa says (31/Jan/2004): |
pick balanced d before u start. Play man first quarter to see what plays your opponent likes. then the rest of the game play zone and blitz, some man in there too. Remember do alot of lb dl audibles. play bump and run when you blitz or make sure you have a safety drop back on their best reciever cause the corner will get beat on a streak route if the quarter back has time to throw. mix up 3-4 4-3 bear dime nickel. bear normal man is good for pass and run. When online always have a safety back to beat out long pass play

faces in the crowd |
| bronson l laudermilt from Meigs, Ohio, USA says (22/Nov/2003): |
When i purchased Madden 2004 it said on the back of the case that you could make your own stadiam, upp and lower ticket prices, and relocate your team. It did'nt say that the crowd graphics sucked. Also i would like to have on Madden 2005 situational games. Like Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football on ESPN. and morning football on Weekends. Just to make it more realistic. Also when you relocate your team to be able to put logos on the helmets. All and all i love Madden 2004 but NCAA 2004 was better.

Pass Defense is impossible... too many big plays |
| Adam says (26/Aug/2003): |
The game is incredible in every department save one: pass defense. It is nearly impossible to stop the computer on certain drives, they complete every pass no matter what defense you choose. Too many 5 yard passes turn into touchdowns because your defensive backs (computer-run) take horrible angles to the reciever and get burned. Basically... the computer makes the wide receiever better then the defensive back at times, giving you no chance unless you are playing the DB yourself.

More realistic |
| Al Wash again says (25/Oct/2003): |
I think that Madden 2004 is fine but you shoul be able to flick back the ball to teammates and do flea flickers.I also think that on Madden 2005 they should have sports center and Nfl primetime highlighting games awesome catches, great plays and fabulous come backs.Also I think that Madden 2005 should include scrimages during training, bye week or use Madden points to get not just cards but credits to practice.I really hope that this is on the next Madden 2005.

There is no doubt, this game is like playing football for real! |
| Chad from Marble, Pennsylvania says (15/Aug/2003): |
As a gamer and a NFL fan, it doesn't get much closer to reality than this game. At first it is hard to run the ball or defend the pass against the computer, but if you are able to read the defense in front of you, it is a lot easier run. Defending the pass is tricky but if you can get to the quarterback?!It's just so darn realistic. The graphics though could be a little better, but all in all, Madden 2004 can't be beat!

ITS OFF THE HOOK! |
| Josh from Minneapolis, MN, USA says (18/Aug/2003): |
I've had Madden 2004 for a couple days now, and I love the gameplay way more than Madden 2003, but I was upset about the graphics, they just don't seem the same. I like how the computer can stop the sweep, cuz i would always do sweep plays, but I like how the computer defense can stop them. Franchise is the best! I love how you adjust ticket prices, concessions, ect...
BUY IT!!!

| Josiah Smikeldorf from Madison, WI says (12/Sep/2003): |
This game is yahoozical, i enjoy playing it before my church classes and before i study ancient greek mythology, I don't know what the playmaker mode is, but people say it's awesome, i say it sux until i know how to use it.

Excellent |
| Chris from Cinnaminson, NJ says (1/Oct/2003): |
Once again Madden takes all. This game is amazing. The running game is realistic, you cant bully your way through unless you are a bully, the passing game is realistic, the QB's are realistic and the defense(my favorite part) is nasty! You've got to be a fool if you think you can find better gameplay in another game! Madden is a monopoly...the other games dont exhist.
|
Wow, madden really was really unexpected |
| Richard Tomas from Baton Rouge, Louisana says (3/Sep/2003): |
I played madden for about 10 hours one day and I could not get enough of it. In fact I went back and played it for 13 more hours after that, It was increadible! I havent showered for 2 weeks and I am still playing. I smell horrible, and have weird bugs running around in my hair if you know what I mean. I could probably get a job at game exchange I smell so bad.

Hope you have some sleeping pills |
| Chris from Kalamazoo, Michigan says (2/Sep/2003): |
This game is so addictive it should be banned. Some problems include bad pass defense and some not so obvious exclusions like 80-man rosters in the preseason, but this game rises above its flaws with excellent graphics, unlimited replay value, and some good old gridiron fun. Watch my new playmaker control as I direct the people reading to the game store to BUY!

THE BOMB |
| B-MAN from Olympia, Tumwater says (2/Sep/2003): |
I love the new owner part of 2004, it makes it very realistic, and its very dificult to keep up with funds but its fun to try. The graphics are awesome and the game itself is terific, the pass coverages are really realistic in the fact that DB's and make every play, the tackling is more realistic, cause the defense cant just get there and stop the play.

brandons boudreaux |
| Brandon from Auburn,Alabama,USA says (29/Nov/2003): |
this game is the best football game I have ever played. Ilove the new owner mode and playmaker mode it is awesome.One thing I have against it is in 2005 make the game to where there is nfl primetime and Chris Berman's fastest 3 minutes of highlights;makes the game way more interseting other thatn that this game is really really goood
|
This game is amazing |
| Tony Caputo from Albany, ny says (5/Sep/2003): |

I lover this game and who needs real football games when you can play this game whnever you want. This game is simple astoninshin

AWESOME |
| A gamer from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA says (14/Aug/2003): |
This game is awesome. From the comercials i wasnt really impressed but once you play it you are. The graphics have improved and so have the gamplay alot. I was debating wether to buy NCAA College Football 2004 or Madden and after playing them i like madden better. The Playmakers are a great addition.

Madden 2004 |
| A gamer says (14/Aug/2003): |
I've had it two days now, it very fun to play not to crazy about the graphics looks to computerish. It's harder to run the ball. It's harder to defend against the pass when playing the computer. I still trying to adjust from 2003 L2 bring down the icons instead of triangle.
|
PUMP PUMP IT UP |
| DL from Scottsdale AZ says (14/Aug/2003): |
All I Have to say is Madden is off the hook!! Go out and buy it! Online gaming is the best. The new playmaker makes the game even better. Becareful though you can still get burned on the game with playmaker. It takes time to get use to, but once you figure it out you are set.

sweeps |
| furby from TOWSON, USA says (26/Sep/2003): |
i'd have to say that i don't mind the ints or the fumbles but i hate the fact that the outside runs barelly work. Especially when i play my friends, and as for the computer, it's not about to get any yards running outside. That's the only thing i don't like about this game
|
best way to stop the pass |
| tony from stockton,california says (28/Oct/2003): |
from experience the best way to stop the pass is to choose cover 2 defensive type.
the best play would be to choose a 3-4 formation..and look for a play were a safety is playing zone and one of your middle lb and your olb blitzes and the rest of your backs are in m2m
