I think I am going to wait for SEGA's NFL2k2. It has online play and the players won't look like little munchkins. Plus you will be able to play cross platform so whether your friends have The Dreamcast, Xbox, ps2 or gamecube you will be able to play them online.

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.

Waste of Money

Madden 2002 is a big waste of money, it is basically as the same as the previous title. The passing game is horrible, and the defense is worse. Every time a reciever caught a ball open, they score because the defense runs so slow. Keep your money and save it for nfl blitz 2002.....

A waste of time and money

This is a sorry excuse for a football game. There is too much attention on graphics and no attention to gameplay. Controlling the players is very frustrating; they don't move well and cut backs are a joke to try to do. I threw a bomb on one play and was caught from behind out of nowhere; that doesn't really happen in real football. What I really hate about this game is you have to rely on how your teamates play,... If you try to turn into a guy and make a play you'll get burnt. If you wanna play a real football game try NFL 2K for the Sega Dreamcast. That's the best football game ever. Your in total control. The graphics are just fine and the gameplay is even better. It's the most realistic game I've ever played....

weird and confusing

"Realism" should mean realistic stats, not just cool jerseys

If a realistic simulation of the NFL is what you're looking for, save your money. The game is visually beautiful and fun in an arcade-style way, but true realism is once again sacrificed by EA in order to spend more time improving graphics.

It'd be great if EA would work on making the stats anything close to realistic in franchise mode. Unfortunately, they are more obsessed with capturing the exact facial contortions involved when a player makes a block. I guess that if they get more detailed jerseys and "cooler" sound effects, they see that as a great step towards "more realistic" football action.

How they then can leave the stats resembling something out of Tecmo Bowl is beyond me.

If you like realistic franchise operation, try out Football Pro '98, which is still widely supported online and actually can be made to produce the sort of realism that matters - statistical realism.

Great Graphics and Options, SLOW AND BORING AS ROCKS

I have been a avid football game player since atari football. And this game simply bores me to death. Ill start with the positives. Best graphics ever in a game and decently realistic with tons of great options. Negatives now...The game is boring as watching rocks. If i wanted to watch a football game that is what I would do. ANd thats what this game pretty much is, you watching the computer play and pressing a button here and there. The gameplay is smooth but slow and horrible. Most of the time you are watching guys walk around or walk ever so slowly to the line of scrimmage, the pace of this game is the worst. WIth the great graphics and trying to make the game so called "realistic" the game totally [stinks] when it comes down to playing it. All the great graphics in the world and options do not make up for boring gameplay. And for a game based on being realistic, the defensive line and offensive line play is nuthing like real football, neither is the dbs. Charles Woodson who no team in the league even throws at gets burned by no names regulary, warren sapp will never penetrate a third string ol on a passing play. Unfortunately NFL GAMEDAY for psone is still the funest football game out, but it is simply outdated. I pray for a miracle and hope last years ps2 version of gameday was a fluke and they can make a decent game. I dont have much faith in qb club or nfl2k......I might be heading over to xbox if microsoft can come through with a game thats actually fun to play, and has the graphics and options in NFL FEVER!

Madden [is bad] again.

Madden 2001 for PS2 was one of the best football video games I had ever played. So needless to say, I could not wait for Madden 2002 to come out. I was doing some research about Madden 2002, and I had read noting but good reviews about how the EA Sports team had improved on the 2001 edition. No one could image my disappointment when I play Madden 2002 for the first time. The first change that caught eye was the poor detail on the graphics of the players. They looked like the old block players on earler edition of Madden 1995 on your good old "Sega Genesis". The old verison of play-calling is back/and it's w/out the players plays. I.E the James Jett slant, Tim Brown hook, etc. If you played 2001 you will see the differences in the play calling. The game slows down when there are too many players in one area, which does not move the game on one smooth playing control system. The major difference I had with 2001 & 2002 was the gameplay. When I play 2001 I feel like I can interact w/the, by the realistic feel of the game and that allows me to enjoy the game. When I play 2002 I feel like your playing a video game and you can not interact and enjoy the game. Madden 2002 is not worth your ... bucks, you be better of paying [price] for Madden 2001 or dust off that old sega and enjoy Madden 1995. Madden you have just be penalize for making this "BS" and you have walk back about 7 years in the sports video gaming world.

WHAT NO ONLINE PLAY???? As an avid fan of football video games, I must admit that I will stick with the slightly inferior Sega NFL2K2 simply because I can play online with NFL2K2. Until EA develops online play for Madden, I will stick with the Sega NFL 2k? series, even with the Xbox. Online play is redefining the football video game genre...c'mon EA, get with it!
