    The seamless integration of online with the offline is a big selling point for GameDay. [Sept 2003, p.87]

    Player-movement controls sport a nice pressure-sensitive touch that presents veterans with a good challenge toward perfecting their skills. But the gameplay stills feels a tad slow.

    Still seems a few years behind the time with graphics and sharpening of game mechanics.

    Graphics and online are where the attention's focused, but I think they should have continued down the road to refinement. [Sept 2003, p.109]

    Unlike "Madden 2004" and "ESPN NFL 2K4" though, one doesn’t get the feeling when playing GameDay 2004 that the developers pushed themselves (or their game) to the PS2's theoretical limit. Cool online football experience though!

    The coolest new addition to GameDay is the voice-recognition features. Those of you who bought SOCOM: US Navy Seals, and have the VR headset will be able to call your plays, send men in motion, and even hike the ball.

    While the online component is nice, actual gameplay is where things really fall apart. [Nov 2003, p.53]

    This Gameday game has improved greatly from previous versions. I would compare this to Madden or better than that.

    This game plays better than any of them out this year, too bad so many people blindly follow Madden.

    I've also rented all of the 2004 games and this game is pretty good in the online experience, but is just not as convincing as Madden I've also rented all of the 2004 games and this game is pretty good in the online experience, but is just not as convincing as Madden NFL 2004. Don't get me wrong, this is a good game, but i bought Madden over it because it has better features and was more convincing. That's why i gave it a seven.… Expand
