    This year's real highlight for Madden madmen is the buffed out A.I.: On defense, the game reacts more rapidly than ever to your offensive tendencies and in particular makes tough half time adjustments.

    Once again, Madden leads the field in video game football, and as of right now, there’s no one near him in coverage.

    With gameplay oozing off of this disk like gravy out of Refrigerator Perry's hot beef sandwich, fans of the gridiron will lose themselves in hours of rapture and may very well forget to eat or sleep.

    It's Madden's inherently deep replay value that makes the game a real value for the dollar. Couple that with excellent pass execution, solid football strategies and integration with rosters from the graduates of NCAA 2002 and you have very deep, solid, although somewhat aged game of professional football.

    I was a loyal Gameday holdout until I tried this. I can't stand Madden and Summeral, but this game is so close to controlling live action, it's amazing. I'd love to see them add a "design your own plays" feature, and beef up the closing speed for ceratin defensers... otherwise, it's as good as it gets!… Expand

    Just shut off the commentary and you're set. Needs new tackling system, missing some key historic players on Madden cards.
