Madden NFL 2004 starts out the season as the game to beat.

In its 14th season, Madden NFL 2004 for the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube marches onto the football field as the game to beat. Last year, football fans were scratching their heads to figure how the game could be improved, and EA Sports responded by accelerating gameplay speed and juicing the ever-mysterious ?A.I.? This year the team?s taking another shot at improving gameplay by introducing Playmaker Control, a system that will enable you to make adjustments to the flow of play after the snap of the ball. Online gameplay is also getting some serious attention. Quick Match mode with enable you to speedily set up tournaments, but even better, Madden finally enables you to express some true attitude with voice chat for real-time smack talk. Oh yeah, the A.I. gets turned up a notch again, too.
