Madden NFL 2004

Madden is the deepest football game around. With modes such as Owner's Mode, Franchise Mode, Mini-Camp Mode, Playmaker Control, Classic Team Editor, Madden 101, the new and improved create-a-team, and playbook editor, it really has much to offer. The only thing it needs is online play for Xbox Live. Madden NFL 2004 is so good, that you really don't need online play, just playing the actual game by yourself is the best thing you could do. It just might be one of the best sports games ever. You will be playing this game forever, well, at least until next year's edition.

It’s hard to say whether Madden outdoes Sega’s ESPN Football 2K4 until we’ve had a chance to compare them – but Madden has set the bar high and as the only franchise with a college football counterpart this year, Madden has the advantage.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch an das Madden-Team: Das neue Playmaker-Control-System ist eine echte Bereicherung. Besonders nur für Profis, die auch in hektischen Situationen nie den Überblick verlieren. Dagegen ist der Manager-Part enttäuschend. Wer die richtigen Einstellungen gefunden hat, braucht sie nie wieder zu ändern. Abgesehen davon ist Madden 2004 für Football-Fans das Eldorado, dessen Kauf sich für Experten lohnt.

Décidément EA Sports a frappé très fort avec ce dernier épisode de NFL. Son indéniable qualité esthétique et son gameplay riche et prenant lui assurent un franc succès chez tous les amateurs de football américain. Nous sommes face à ce qui se fait de mieux aujourd'hui en la matière.

Le mode Owner à lui seul pourra justifier l'achat pour les fans. Le mélange de simulation et de management a de quoi les faire frétiller pendant quelques mois.

Although John Madden seems to be slowing down a bit — his verbal barbs more infrequent, his tele-strater antics diminished — the game that bears his moniker keeps on marching. The latest installment, Madden 2004, boasts several cool new additions to the franchise, but also drags along a few issues that annually plague the series.
