If you like serious football, then this is the game for you. Last years game was great, but this years game is even better. I like the fact that you have to work real hard to win games,which to me is more fun then just throwing a football down the field to some speedy wideout. Believe me the compatation in this game is just GREAT. Last year I took the Dallas Cowboys to the superbowl twice. This year I may not even make the playoffs. Tell me, how real is that? Please buy this game. Kick back and enjoy. GO COWBOYS!!!!!

Coolest Game for PS2 yet!!!!!!!!!

The Game is great with better graphics and the NCAA draft is probably the best improvement. If your a football fan I would highly advise this, but if you have no clue about football you are wasting your money buying it.

AS CLOSE TO REALISM AS YOU CAN GET.... for now

Before reading this review, realize that I've not owned a system in ten years. Playstation's consideration to those that bought the old system was what drove me to finally purchase one.

That being said, Madden 2002 was my first game and when I put it in, my jaw hit the floor! The graphics are mind-blowing. The games can be played in numerous styles of camera movements, all of which edit and fade like a real television crew would do.

The game play is very realistic. Other reviews have said how the passing, running and pass rush stuff is hard... and well, it is. Yet, that's what makes it realistic. You have to practice at it. Unlike previous games, you can't just throw passes into double coverage on a regular basis. You have to use pump-fakes, burn passes out of bounds, or hopefully you got Culpepper, Stewart or Vick and you can tuck and run.

Just a little advice... play-calling on offense and defense... is everything.

The game is awesome. The graphics are incredible. Even during play-calling the game never stops... it continues to show the huddle. Quarterback talking to receivers and backs about the previous play. Even showing the coach get [upset] about a dropped pass or a false start.

The best part about the game though, graphics and realism aside, is the fact that you can redraft the entire league, create your own team and jerseys, sign players for contracts and enter franchise mode and build your team over numerous years. Watch players retire and draft new ones.

Finally, the down side. I've played it for awhile, and their aren't many. But, the announcing of Madden and Sommerall gets repetitious. Fortunately, you can turn it down and just listen to crowd noise and F/X.

The other downside I've found is that you can't watch games that you're not involved in. Which kinda stinks. I'd at least like to watch the Superbowl if I don't make it that far. But, as of yet, I haven't figured out how?

As Always the Madden series continues to dazzle!

This is the finest installment of Madden yet. The graphics are tremendous and beat the pants of NFL 2k2 for PS2. It is the most in depth game EA has released along its football line thus far and tradition fans will love the new realism it offers. Used to the old Madden style where you could score 100 points on All Madden using just 3 plays. Well this version has really boosted the difficulty level and on even the moderate level average gamers will struggle. This make the game more of a challenge and maybe you will actually lose a few games once in a while. But after a while you can learn what is necassary to really dominate and unlike past Maddens where running was key now it is passing so haveing a go to guy like Tony GOnzales on your team makes a huge difference. But anyway this game is outstanding! GO out and buy it!

Subtle but major improvements makes for top football game

Madden 2001 for the PS2 was a fun game. It looked absolutely outstanding and played pretty well too. The running game was great, the second best of any football game I'd ever played. There was a franchise mode, practice mode, you name it. The achilles heel of the game was the passing game -- way too good. Defensive backs would only drop back so far even in prevent defense allowing receivers to outrun the coverage -- not that it mattered because the receivers could always make a leaping one-handed catch every time. There was absolutely no way to stop a human opponent playing as the Rams.

Madden 2002 is definitely an evolutionary as opposed to revolutionary game. It looks virtually identical and the visual improvements are minor. But it plays much better. The one-handed catches are a once-a-game type variety now and the defensive AI is a little smarter. The running game has been slightly toned down (the juke move is now pretty much non-existant), but that's probably for the better. The games are fun to play and they feel real. You really feel like a coach, player, and owner.

Overall I have to say this is the best football game I ever played. Extremely realistic, and fun to play. What more could you ask for?

Not that good

I have had PS2 for a while, and i played this game a lot. I loved it. Then i got xbox, and NFL Fever is 10 times better. I just couldn't get over the graphics difference to start, the play selection screen is easier to navigate, and the game is much easier and fun to play.

Perfect in everything except.....

Every aspect of the game is the best amoung other football games. The franchise id the greatest around, and the others modes are very good as well. The game is perfect except for the difficulty of passing when playing on pro or higher. When you play on those levels, you can only expect to complete about 35-45% of your passes if your'e lucky. And you could expect to average at least 1 interception a game. I'm playing a season right now and I know that Brad Johnson's rating will be very low for the next season. If you want to have the perfect QB, play on ROOKIE!
