Wow, I have always been a fan of Madden football games but this one is far better. The rosters are close to those of the 2001 season, but how exact do you want to be? People get traded all the time ya know. The graphics are better than last year and I love the training modes this game has. I have been known to run up the score a little in madden 2001 but with this game you cant do that right away. Okay, so I put 60 points on the bills playing with chicago but what do you want, its the bills. There are only two things that I have a problem with in this game.
The cheerleader cards? Whats up with that, I mean, you could have put out referee cards and it would have been better, put some classic teams of the past up there or something else. Cheerleaders are just eye candy for the Television cameras anyway, they get ratings for having short skirts thats all. I digress.
The second thing, Mulligans, who gets a mulligan in football? I mean, come on, lets be realistic here. Its not Madden Golf.
Get this game if you are a football fan, if not then go home and play Zelda for the 10,0000th time.
Unbeatable

Talk about incredable! This product is the best game since madde 2001. I have all the maddens but this defniately takes the cake. The graphics are good gameplay is great controls are the same as always but the best improvement is difficulty and realism. For madden 2001 it was hard to pass but easy to kill the other teams 60-3. NOw though passing is more realistic and people dont run the exact same rought every time. But the computer is actually harder with better offense. Running is fun and much simpler. Its especially fun with explosive people like marhsall faulk. The good thing is people like him pull away alot but can also get stuffed unlike madden 2001 where you could cet 4-7 yards but it was impossible to get like 30 where in this game if your good you can. Also they make it so some teams really are steller(St.Lewis, Minnesota, Indinapolis are the main ones) if you want to really control the game you can.In madden 2001 every team had a weakness. But in 2002 St. Lewis especially has none. Sry if this is a bit long so i'll make the overall review brief: Graphics 10, Controls 10, realizm, 8.5, Fun 10. A must buy
Awesome!!!!!

This is the most awesome football game on N64! You have got to buy this game!!!!! At first I thought this game was just playing football but, I was wrong. You also get madden cards by doing different stuff on the game like trowing a certain amount of touch downs in a game. You can also play with different unreal teams if you get certain madden cards!!!! There is the all new 2 minute drill!!!!!! You should buy or rent this game soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is the best football game ever. It has everything; grraphics, good gameplay, and realistic. The only 2 downsides is John Maddens voice (which says the same thing 4-5 times a game but u can turn his voice off) and on thee sideline everybody is 88. I have some super records on this game including getting 79 points in 5 min quarters and have one receiver catch over 1000 yards and 6 TDs in a game. Anyway this game is awesome and i would totally recommend it to good football fans/gamers.
Best Game!

Madden 2002 is a cool game! Yesterday, the New York Jets made the highest score in an NFL game, winning 67-0 over the 2002 and 2004 Super Bowl champion, New England Patriots!!! Martin made NINE TOUCHDOWNS FOR THE BIG APPLE!!!!!!
Good gameplay, but what's up with the madden cards?

Overall, I was pretty impressed with Madden 2002. The graphics were excellent as usual. What really impressed me about the latest Madden game is the improved play of the computer. The computer actually puts up a fight instead of scoring 7 points to my 70. Another thing I really liked was that the computer runs the ball more in 2002. In 2001, i would be surprised if the computer ran the ball more than three times a game.
Something that did disappoint me, however, was the Madden cards. I thought that this would finally be the year that the good people at EA Sports would include the great teams of the past, like the '85 Bears and the great Buffalo teams of the early 90's. After all, the PS1 has them, and I thought the N64 was supposed to be a superior machine. What do we get added on instead? Cheerleader cards. i guess these would be okay if they did something other than make the crowd cheer loud for the whole game. That can get pretty annoying. I've heard some people say that when the crowd is pumped up, your team plays better, but it is just not true. I would definitely rather have 31 classic teams than 31 cheerleader cards any day.
So, if you're looking for an improvement to you 2001 Madden game, I would highly recommend Madden 2002. I can't wait to see what they come up with for the Nintendo gamecube (and if THAT version doesn't have the classic teams, i'm going to scream!)
