  1. By far the best Madden game to date and it features the best update to any game of its kind.
  2. As good as Madden 2004 is, I distinctly remember playing this game before. Twice actually. I know there isn’t a ton that can be changed, and I know that the console versions don’t change much, but there can be something done here I’m sure.
  3. It's a good football game that, except for the updated rosters, is virtually identical to the series' 2003 iteration. [Oct 2003, p.141]
  4. There are a number of things that EA Sports could have improved upon from the previous game, but this series is still far and away the best for anyone looking for a traditional football game on Nintendo's popular handheld.

    The game is nice and pretty realistic. Even the lions suck in the game and their usually good in games!

    Madden '04 for the GBA is a mess. The players look terrible and there is too much commotion on the screen all at once. Looks more like Pacman on steriods than a football game. Worst game I have ever played. Instantly traded it in. Collapse
