Madden 2003 or Madden 2004 ???

[Scott McD]

I can pick up Madden 2003 now for next to nothing, or if it's better just pay normal price for Madden 2004.

Is it much better, or am i aswell getting 2003 ??

[The Truth Hurts]

'04 has more frilly shit that is for geeks.... like how much a hot dog costs type shit.

gameplay is basically identical to 03.

Try to find Sega NFL 2k3/2k4 Alot better than Madden in my opinion.

something better than Madden? AHAHAHAHHAHAHA

04 is a lot better. the game play is no where near the same. play maker controls in madden 04 adds more realism to the game. you can also control defensive players a lot better in 04. call me a geek if you want but i've played football before and this is as close to realism that you will get in a video game right now. i tried the espn football series and it looks a lot better than madden but the movement is still a bit stiff and at times unrealistic. what you give up in gameplay in ESPN you get right back in visuals

how could explain a 100+ point victory in the first game I played right out of the box?


(hint: gameplay is basically the same (as i said above))

Sega NFL2k games were great on Dreamcast (had mine 9.9.99 @ 9AM : ).. haven't tried them on PS2 though... Madden is all you need.

So Madden 2003 cheap is good enough then ?

Not looking for a tonne load of geek stuff, just a decent enough game to play and decent to look at...

Did you create a 7ft running back that ways 110 pounds, 200% muscle, and heavy padding?

7ft Quarterback that ways 400 pounds so he can hold off being tackled until he passes the ball?

i don't waste time with creating my own players.
I play with the Patriots every time.
Brady is not 400Lbs, nor 7ft tall.

try playing the game on all madden and not rookie. i gaurantee you WONT score anything over 28 over the bucs defense nor the ravens defense. whenever you first take the game out of the box the game has the pussy settings.

if you want the most realistic football game then madden 04 is the way to go. if you just watn a game that looks good and is a football game then get ESPN 2k4 or Microsoft's NFL Fever.

fifa soccer and tiger woods 04 own by the way

04' does have some major upgrades as said earlier, but I'd shoot for 03' if you're not a huge videogame/football maniac!

[axelcat]

Its the same thing except for the updated players

sounds like you play games that look good but lack game play. if you own madden 04 and madden 03 then go play the madden 04 training camp and learn how the basics of the game work, then go play madden 03. if you can't figure out how much different the game is gameplay wise than you shouldn't purchase another EA sports game ever

[SoundMan]

2005 is the BEST!

BETA::

[The Dawg]

2004 has a couple nice things with the owners option and play maker, but there is alot of technical errors in the gameplay. Horrible instant replay decisions. The refs mouth moves badly when speaking. Voiceovers keep saying 6 interceptions even if you have 10.

They really didnt take their time on this one.

I was playing Madden '04 yesterday and the computer totally fucked me over...

I sacked the QB, but as he got sacked, he threw the ball, and the game flashed "fumble". My cornerback caught it in the air and ran it back for a touchdown. The computer challenged the "fumble" and the call was overturned so they kept the ball.

Totally full of messed up glitches like that, but still the best football game on the market.
