  1. The AI is sound for single-player games and the online capabilities are truly amazing.
  2. Having only a few flaws is still too many flaws when stacked up against the stiff competition of both "Madden" and "ESPN Football."
  3. While it would be technically correct to call NFL Fever 2004 the best in the series, it still doesn't have the quality or quantity of features, the rock-solid gameplay, or high level of polish shown by its competitors.
  4. Microsoft keeps inserting small innovations when what is really needed is a major overhaul to the entire game engine.

    Not only possibly the best NFL game around to date, but its one of the best sports-based games around on Microsoft's Xbox.
