EA Sports is pulling out all the stops in its upcoming version of Madden NFL 2002 for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2.

EA Sports is pulling out all the stops in its upcoming version of Madden NFL 2002 for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. First, in the PlayStation 2 version, the player models are receiving a complete makeover with more precise body shapes and new animations. Widescreen TV support will also give the graphics a boost on high-end TVs. On the field, Madden 2002 will have some gameplay improvements, too: Better blocking and pass coverage will head up the list of these tweaks.

On the PlayStation side, Madden will have a few new tricks as well. Veteran Madden fans will appreciate Classic mode that enables you to play the original Madden ?93, while rookies will like the ?do-over? feature that enables you to replay any down. The kick meter is also being reworked to augment the challenge on special-teams play. In addition, both the PlayStation and PS2 versions will have a Coach?s Corner mode where John Madden himself gives gamers an in-depth lesson on football strategy. Madden NFL 2002 kicks off this fall, just in time for football season.
