![]() ![]() Coaches celebrating on the sidelines, players celebrating after a touchdown, the replays (especially the Matrix replays and the sack replays) all add to a great TV style presentation that looks great and plays awesome. It just has a believable TV style representation. Even though it's a port, it's still the #1 football game out (unless Blitz is better which I haven't played yet). Overall: I could play this game for ages. The hit hitting sounds I heard on Dolby are great. ![]() John Madden gives great commentary along with Pat. Sound: I like the sound when a tiger roar at the bengals stadium and the sound when crowd shouts eddie at titens home. Some player faces look the same but i don't really care much about it. You can even see the dome light on the helmets. Players can get grass and scratch marks on their helmet. Graphics: I really like the polish effect that easports has done. Zone plays designed in this game don't seem to work correctly but overall the gameplay is very good. If you get the hang of it you can be successful at running the ball. If your receiver drops a pass, your other receivers can catch the pass. Gameplay: Gameplay is the best i have ever seen. If you play with a low ranked team, it is impossible to beat higher ranked team. The body style looks good but some of the players look exactly the same. Overall: Ea has done a real good job with the polish effects on the players. Just copy NFL Fever, and yo would have a hit. Get rid of Madden's commentary, and spice it up a bit. Announcing on NFL Fever might not be the greatest, but is better than Madden. Sound: I think Madden is getting to old to be announcing games, he says the stupidist things. The graphics can't stand up to NFL Fever 2002, not even close. Graphics: The graphics are pretty good, especially for a PS2 port. Madden seems to dramatic, like alot of one handed catches, receivers don't drop the ball, or get hit and lose the ball very much. I had fun playing Madden, but I always went back to NFL Fever. Gameplay: I love to play football games, so the gameplay appeal will be strong no matter what name is on the cover. Madden is just a port game, Fever is for Xbox only, so it uses the power of the Xbox. Madden is a good game, but for the same amount of money, buy the better one NFL Fever. I'm not biased, so I will always buy the better game out at the time, and NFL Fever has the edge in almost every category. But now there is a new sheriff in town, NFL Fever 2002. Overall: Madden has been #1 for ever, and for good reasons. When XBox Live comes out and Madden is the only football game not to use Xbox Live, we will see it fade like John Madden's real hairline. If more people would give this tough scores and not buy this portastic waste of football, maybe they would get better at this. Suggestions: Look, this game isn't terrible, but what it has potential to be is a lot more than what it is. I dreaded popping this game in simply for that alone. Sound: The opening rap song is the most annoying opening song in the history of video gaming. No improvements seem to be made for the next installment either Nowhere near as nice as Fever or even Nfl2k2 for that matter. SOmeone needs to make a football game where you can't win choosing the same three or four plays over and over again, but arent slaughtered every time you step to the line. It is an OK simulation with a bevy of, but it is buggy and outdated already. Overall: I'm surprised that this game got as high of a score as it did. ![]()
