Madden NFL 2004 for PlayStation 2

Pros: Deeper than Deep Thoughts
Cons: Kinda still plays like Madden 2004

Facing perhaps the trickiest competition in years thanks to the brilliant ESPN NFL 2K5, John Madden Football has returned with Madden NFL 2005. While incredible praise and acclaim for Sega’s game might have put a slight damper on Madden’s hype machine, ...

Pros: Graphics, sound, owner mode, leagues, reality of it all
Cons: Controls take the beginner a while to get accustomed to

Ok, I am usually not one to write epinions on video games. In fact, this is probably the first on I ...

Pros: The same profitable football formula as previous installments.
Cons: Identical in all respects to last year’s version, with few crucial enhancements.

It is with great disappointment I announce that Madden’s once unquestioned status as the supreme football videogame experience has collapsed in 2005. EA Sports can no longer claim to dominate the videogame gridiron, due to the simple fact that they have ...

Pros: All of this year's new features are commendable, a remarkably enjoyable and authentic football presentation.
Cons: Dry, insanely repetitive commentary. Still a few key issues EA has managed to overlook.

After fourteen years of dominating the football videogame landscape, being the first game ever induc ...

Pros: Good graphics, good gameplay, lots (LOTS) of features
Cons: Typically stilted speech engine

Ahh, football. Today I can once again claim a love for football, as my beloved Buffalo Bills have shown that, at the very least, they can beat the Cincinnati Bengals. Sure, it took them a final-drive fourth down conversion and an overtime period--but at ...

Pros: Some improved A.I., owner mode, add-ons
Cons: Horrid O-Line A.I., Playing Defense is still a pain, and more..

Madden has been the epitome of sports games for years, but maybe it's a good thing after all that Se ...

Pros: Finally, defensive and offensive balance. Lots to do, and it's worth doing.
Cons: Tony Bruno. A lot of little things.

There are things and people that certain people love to hate. Some people hate the Yankees (like yours truly). Some people hate the infamous genre of music known as emo (again, like me). And when you delve into videogames, the massive company known as ...

Pros: Franchise mode, jetpacking is gone for good, and the interface is great.
Cons: Player editing issues, Tony Bruno's show, game tends to chug, defensive AI still sucks.

After getting Madden earlier today, I immediately sat down and played it. For ten hours straight. Those ten hours later, here is what I've come up with on the major areas of the game, and the good, the bad, and the ugly for each. Franchise/owner mode- ...

Pros: Owner mode is great for simulation geeks, playmaker controls are a great addition, good challenge
Cons: Basically the same game as Madden 2003

As someone who's been playing the Madden football titles since its days on the SNES, I've got to say ...

Pros: Amazing gameplay, many new features, Franchise mode!
Cons: BORING commentary, and lagging.

Madden has topped itself once again. Being (in my opinion) the most dominating and realistic football game, my expectations for this game were very high. I couldn't believe that they actually could make it better. Well, enough with that talk, ...

Pros: Awesome run game, deep franchise mode, fun drafting style, realistic contract negotiations, HIT STICK!
Cons: Impossible to pass in difficult settings, ridiculous free agency, not enough "WOW".

The Madden franchise has been a staple for Electronic Arts stockholders and for individuals worldwide who just love their organized violence with pads. And who can disagree that it's the greatest video game franchise of all time? However, the latest ...

Pros: Deepest Franchise mode ever, spot-on controls, Playmaker, feature.
Cons: Funky-looking players.

This is a review of the Xbox version of Madden NFL 2004, since there's no listing on this site for the Xbox version of the game. While EA's Madden series is the undisputed king of videogame sports, I found the last few outings to ...

Pros: great graphics, playmaker control + owner mode are awesome
Cons: The commentary is very repetative and annoying. needs a lot of memory space to save

EA sports has done it again and made another great sports game. With the all new features such as Playmaker control and Owner mode, Madden 2004 is by far the best sports game out there now. FRANCHISE- There are many parts to franchise mode. You ...

Pros: Owner Mode, more realistic moves and gameplay
Cons: Graphics were sacrificed for substance

I have owned Madden football games since Madden 98 for my PC. I bought my playstation 2 just to be ...

Pros: Owner mode
Cons: Feels like Madden 2003

I am a big fan of Madden NFL. I spend more time playing Madden NFL than any other games and the big ...
