An excellent choice
Added 9/28/2006
I thought this game was excellent. Fun and challenging with plenty of options. Worked fairly well with our Windows 2000 but the turf style made a difference to play quality, with natural turf being the worst and artificial turf the best. Create-A-Team and Player have plenty of options. I thoroughly enjoyed Mini-camp and two minute drills. The Franchise feature is very enjoyable but problems can occur during off season simulation. Amazon's service was good. I found this game very enjoyable and thoroughly reccomend it.

Excellent game.
Added 2/18/2006
Madden 2004 is a great game for the average EA Sports fan. There aren't many flaws and Madden is great with his commentary. The stadiums are of high detail. The gameplay is great. Sometimes it won't load. If you have run a different program before you play it, odds are it won't load either at the beginning or the end. I like the trophy presentation at the end of a victory in the Championship game or the Super Bowl. It's a great game with excellent commentary from Madden and Al Michaels.

A bad game
Added 1/3/2006
this game was just not fun. Madden jabbering the same lines over again was plain annoying[they didn't even make sense]! The game just got boring! You played a game and could not play it for the rest of the day! It just shuat me off[most of the time].

Improved over 2002, but...
Added 9/10/2005
Okay, I'm cheap. I admit it. I tend to purchase Madden Football when it goes down to $9.95 and this product is awesome and is bringing me hours of fun for a low price.
I played on 2002 for several years and grew tired of it.
The good news about this game, and I say this from a person who plays in Coach mode:
The passing game is greatly improved. 2002 had quarterbacks with very low passing percentages. 2004 is a lot better.
The running game is better. In 2002 you almost had to restrict how often you ran, it was too easy. It's a bit more difficult in 2004, but, unlike so many other games, you can still generate a running game.
They give you a greater ability and more options in creating your own unique team.
But....
Stadium graphics are iffy. Sidelines vanish and such. Annoying for such a graphics intensive game.
I'm finding the Franchise modes to be awkward at best. 2002 had some limitations that 2004 has, but depending on the mode you are in, it can be difficult
You are unable to take an already existing team and do much editing in it. Maybe I still have to work on it, but I can't find a way to become new quarterback on the Giants, or to put Eli Manning in there. (For Giants' fans, he had a great career in 2002!)
I'm happy with this game overall and it's fun, and it's about the fifth version of Madden Football I've used (I started on the original DOS Version), but it has its funky moments which are, frankly, a bit annoying and disappointing.
