haha too true.

 

[pennylane]

I wouldn't mind trying this game out...

 

[gleong]

I have it on pre-order at electronics boutique. i've been looking forward to this game since the NFL draft in april. the additions to the franchise mode and ownership mode sound sweet.

 

[Liviathan]

After reading that review I'm so excite for this game and for the real season to start!!


Go Fins!

The EB here in town start selling them Monday night. Get down there man. Get your Madden on.

Anyone have experience with the multiplayer aspects of Madden on PC?

I played 2003 a lot, but had a backup (read: downloaded) copy of the game and therefore couldn't register with EA.

I know they charge a monthly fee. That kept me from going with the PC version over PS2.

Dont you mean Madden 2003, no wait 2002...errr damn is it 2001's review? Doesnt matter, they are all the same game, barring roster updates of course.

 

[Yossarian]

XBOX unless you want to play online. They are all pretty much the same, though. No big added features on any of them except the PS2 online play.

whoa whoa whoa.... they charge a FEE??!?!

how much?

 

[Spooner]

nowhere in the reviews do I see where it says online play requires a subscription

sure about this?

Which game has better gameplay and graphics: Madden 2004 or NCAA College 2004? I just got NCAA 2004 for xbox, and it's a sweet game, but I'm thinking about getting Madden 2004 also.

EA always makes Madden better than NCAA, it just all depends on which type of team you like running best.

I like to have a choice of players throughout the season, so I prefer madden over NCAA 2004 (I have both). Madden offers WAY more fredome when it comes to players IMO.

 

[royaldank]

Madden is a bit quicker than NCAA. I think it's kind of like NCAA on steroids. Took me awhile to adjust because things happen quicker it seems.

As for paying to play online, only the PC version requires that. At least that what I gathered from this page... http://www.easports.com/pconlinelegal/notice.jsp
