Madden football has always been the bases of all other football games out there now. Why would you buy anything but the best? Don't settle for a cheap immitations, buy the real thing! Those other football games are good but come on Madden has always been fun and exciting to play with state-of-the-art-graphics. I am only buying this game because of EA Sports good reputation for having good graphics, sound, and gameplay and because I can have up to 8 players when I link my XBOX.

go madden

Sit down and think for a few minutes before you make a decision on which to buy : Madden 2002 or NFL Fever.... Madden has been around since the starting of videogames...nfl fever hasnt. i think by now Madden knows what their doing by now dont you think? Nfl Fever is a brand new franchise, and yes it does have some better qualities than Madden 2002, its not up to snuff yet. In Madden 2002 allows you to create your own player or even your own team, it has the Two Minute Drill, it also has a Madden training mode, which he tells you what to do for perfection! I think this game is really cool. the replay views in this game are unreal. like Madden says on the back of the game case "#1 For A Reason"....and it is. i think buy this one for starters and in years to come see if NFL Fever gets better.I think by then its a toss up...

no contest

I was a HUUUGE NFL2K1 fan. However when I bought the 2K2 version I was extremely dissapointed by the gameplay. It seems that every ball is either dropped or gets jarred loose in NFL2K2, it gets extremely frustrating. The details that went into Madden 2002 are incredible and completely destroy NFL2K2. I might go back to Sega later this year with 2K3 but Ill just have to wait and see.

Decent title

If you want to get in depth with a game, this is it. Great simulation... you won't be able to immediatley join a game and have a chance at beating someone who has played a while... it'll be no competition.

Great Game, With a Few Problems...

First off, let may start off with these words: Madden is a challenging yet fun game. Addictive after getting into a good franchise, there are so many good things about it it'll keep you entertained forever. However, there were a few flaws:

The graphics, first off, are excllent. A clean helmet reflects a beautiful shine, a dirty helmet, well... The tackles look extremely realistic, as sometimes you'll get pulled down by the leg, and sometimes you'll get creamed and knocked back a few yards. The sounds of each tackle are awsome and realistic, and sometimes when your on defense, it'll take 2 or 3 people to knock a good running back down...which is quite true in the NFL. The uniforms look very sharp, with shadows, dirty uniforms, and overall smooth figures.

The stadiums look great, and it's always cool to hear the game attendance. Yes, they annouce the game attendance (like say 45,875). It changes from time to time, and big games will get big draw outs, small games will get small drawouts. Incredibly realistic.

The gameplay is decent, but not great. It's always challenging, and something about it makes it too challenging. In past Madden games, it's been too easy to go to the Super Bowl every year even on the hardest settings. In this game, it's way to hard on even All Pro (Easy, Pro, All Pro, Madden Pro). First off on Gameplay, if the opposing receiver or running back breaks free, he's gone! There is no way too catch up with a receiver even with the tiniest lead. No spead gainer, no sprint button. And on offense, the CPU defenders seem to be blessed with super-human speed, catching up with a person even with a 10 yard cushion. Your receivers always drop passes, even someone like Isaac Bruce, and is nearly impossible for the player to get a sack. All this on the all pro, I wonder what it's like on Madden... But if your like me, and have been waiting for a challenge in a madden game, this will definantly give you a challenge.

Options in this game our incredible; there are so many things to do! Franchise, where u start a Franchise (optional, fantasy draft). Create a coach, salary cap, create a team (with uniforms, logos, stadiums, everything. It's from scratch u start from create a team, and the uniforms u can design!). Season, practice, training, madden cards, exibition, etc... You can create a whole new team, from the uniforms, logo, name (yes the people can pronouce the name just like u me, like say Dallas Sharks), stadium name, capacity of the stadium(a million if u want), the type of stadium (bowl, dome). U can put this team into a season, franchise (10 seasons), or even exibition. U can have a fantasy draft, salary cap, even be the coach of your team. There are so many things to do. You'll never get bored of options in this game, never.

Finally, the overall depth. It's fun! The commentary, unfortunantly, hasn't changed since the 1998 version, but it's still decent... The player ratings are pretty good, the whole thing plays pretty well. There's a typical "Person in seat 73B, you have won a lifetime supply of hot dogs" from the comentor, and the players actually react to what happens. They even shake hands and high five at the end of a victory. The coaches get angry on a bad play, clench their fist in satisfaction on a well devised score. U can really c that Ea put a lot of thought into Madden 2002.

Overall, this is an excellent game, but if your not up to a huge challenge, I wouldn't buy it (go for Blitz). But if you want a realistic game, that's fun, has many options, great graphics and brings the atmosphere of the NFL into your house. This is the game for you!

Madden 2002, great game

If you like the Madden series, you will love this game. The graphics are astonashing, and the gameplay is amazing. It is a little slow looking at times, but none the less it is such a fun game.

First this game looked awesome but when I played it (...) .Its so boring and the graphics (...). Its really ok but compared to NFL FEVER it bites. It is also pretty confusing to start a mode or something.
