    To say that Madden 2004 is challenging would be a massive understatement. It has an uncanny ability to leave you shouting at the screen when your opponents seemingly know what you are going to do even before you do it.

    I played/Owned Madden from 1992-2013
    and 2003-2008 is THE GOLDEN ERA!
    And i played every year in GoldenEra on PS2 *EXCEPT 2004!! Because    I played/Owned Madden from 1992-2013
    and 2003-2008 is THE GOLDEN ERA!
    And i played every year in GoldenEra on PS2
    *EXCEPT 2004!!
    Because this was when i got an Xbox and My God was it better looking then
    PS2. Not even close.. But PS2 still got my money because of the controller & my comfort with it..
    But once they fixed the OG xbox controller and we got LB+RB bumpers instead of Black & white buttons= Xbox became the king.. But i didn't know this until 2018'ish..
    ***ENTER TH3 EMATRIX= MADDEN & NHL FANS= KNOW THIS AWESOME SECRET
    = Original Xbox has a powerful music tool that allows you to add ANY music into the actual Madden folder.. I watched my brother do this was a later Madden. Maybe 06(i forget)
    ***NOT JUST ADDING UR PERSONAL MUSIC but putting it into the game so it plays the way the other music plays.. Right now on XboxSX ~OR~PS4 we can play music at same time as Madden music but this isn't the feature im speaking of,... It adds it into the game so it plays during franchise menu & in-game stadium.....
    *So what i would do is= compile 90% of the music from Madden 2003-2012 and put those songs on there ;D but i tried it once & was too lazy to drag & drop the music into it etc....
    LONG LIVE THE KING= IAN CUMMINGS!!!!    … Full Review »

    It's a good game, but the graphics is lagging behind the rest.
