Same old EA, Same old Madden

Madden 2002 doesn't look to raise the bar significantly past last year's version, while rivals NFL Fever 2002 and NFL 2K2 look to be a lot less arcadey and more fluid. I guess if you're a Madden fan, this is for you. But if you want a solid game of football and don't mind learning a new game, I'd go for NFL Fever 2002 or NFL 2K2.

IS MADDEN, COME ON

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.

forget about playstation 2

Oh my God! i played this game at the mall at a game store and let me tell you the graphics are so real and the gameplay is better then nba 2k1 and all other football games. you know how slow motion nba 2k2 is. well this one isn't! it's pretty fast and furious. and the sounds are amazing. when i was playing it i couldn't believe my eyes. forget playstation 2. xbox is gonna be the best system out there in two weeks. this game felt so real when i played it.if i were you, i'll wait for the x box to come out on nov. 15 and go buy it!

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.

Addictive

I'm not usually a big sports game fan on any system, but this game made a believer out of me, between the great graphics and the easy gameplay it can end up burning hours of time. Although the layout of the xbox controller makes control a bit differant at first, it becomes easier with time. The guys at EA Sports went over and above with this game. The Madden cards are also a neat feature allowing you to unlock past teams and also give certain players powerups during the game. If you have Xbox you should purchase this game, you won't be dissappointed.

CANT STOP PLAYING

I was very impressed with the recent editions of Madden 2001 for PS1 and 2 and now 2002 for PS2 and xbox. I played the game on both systems and it was almost the same game. However you really could notice the more pixels xbox added when gaming on a big TV. Im running a 36in TV and the picture looks sharper with more detail than ps2 version. But the game play is just as awesome on both systems.

As for comments about not using the white and black buttons on your xbox controller "What kind of offence do you run?" these buttons are heavly used in your passing game with all formations. However at first I didn't like these odd placed buttons but after perfecting my passing game I really started to see the advantage of using the black and white buttons.

Overall Madden gets 4 out 5 stars for giving realistic football options like drafting rookies, resigning players after contract are up,(Give them the money or they won't stay with your team) salary cap stops you from making a pro bowl team for use during the season.

This game lacks the fifith star because of flaws like no "forward progress" weather or not you cross the first down after the catch if your tackled back before the line you will lose yards so running a curl pass or short screen pass to pick up first downs isn't very easy. And finally pass rushing isn't very easy. But even with these flaws this game is still the number 1 football game ever no matter what system you have with countless hours of game play.
