Guest Flyboy Report post Posted July 31, 2003 (edited) EA Sports has officially announced that Madden NFL 2004 has gone gold and that all versions will be shipping to stores on August 11. Madden NFL 2004 has a number of new features not found in previous incarnations of the series, including play maker control that lets players change plays before the snap and direct receivers and blockers after the snap. In addition, the game features an in-depth owner mode where players will have to manage just about every aspect of the franchise, even pricing of food at the stadium. Madden NFL 2004 for the PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, PlayStation, and Game Boy Advance will be on store shelves on August 14. Credit: Gamespot.com EDIT: Nice video of Owner Mode.

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Was listening about it on the special NFL Around the Horn tonight. Getting to relocate you team is sweet. Having people BOO you if you make a "bad" pick on draft day is sweeter. I can't wait to pick it up and start moving in classes from NCAA 2004. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Flyboy Report post Posted August 3, 2003 I have a problem with some of the ratings as well. Vick a 95? Fuck that. Good thing I'll edit them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Flyboy Report post Posted August 3, 2003 You'd think they suck his dick as he is the cover boy... They did, too. But, I'm going to lower his rating when I get the game so it's all good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Suggs can't be a 77. Redman and Boller can't both be a 75. Redman is probably more like a 65 and Boller, I don't know. Killa Ray Ray 99 Who's dumb joke is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest the pinjockey Report post Posted August 4, 2003 McFlabb....oh the hilarity. I can't wait to see what they gave Vick for a speed rating. And Eddie George an 88 my ass. They should have him barely pushing an 80 at this point. (And don't get me going about Emmitt Smith over Marcel Shipp) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted August 4, 2003 Chad Hutchinson got short changed..the man is pushing 80, at least..or make Quincy Carter is 65 with an awareness rating of 40, cuz he so stupid! I wonder about Grossman, though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted August 4, 2003 And for Dead Like Me, we need to make some official threads every friday night..cuz I could've used it last episode with that woman showing up and replacing Rebecca Gayheart..and you'd think that after all those years the woman would change the way she talks and stuff...but at least Mason is cool, the episode where he was smuggling shit was great.. Heh and one of the first things im doing when I get the game is moving the Bengals the fuck out of Cincinatti. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bravesfan Report post Posted August 4, 2003 Fuamatalalal (Granted, I can't spell his name either..) Fuamatuma'afala. (FOO-AH-MA-TOO-MA-AH-FAH-LA.) Just call him "Fu"; the local Hawaiian sportscasters love the guy and the Samoan (IIRC) name. San Francisco 49ers: WR#81 99 Hmm... ... ... ... ... ... BOO-YAH!

Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted August 6, 2003 I can't wait to get this game. Just like every year. Not only is the game great, but it is another step towards the NFL season. Not to mention turning in Madden 2003 usually gets me $20 off the price for the new one.......HELL YEAH~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted August 6, 2003 Madden has lost it's "great" stigma in my eyes. I mark for the game, yes, and I want it, BUT Sega's franchise is greatly improving. I hear Playmaker can make the game feel like Live's free-style control at times and I hate Live. But, with Madden's franchise mode, newly added Owner mode, AND being able to export NCAA into Madden.. well, I'm stoked. I just have a feeling that ESPN NFL Football will be just as good as Madden if not better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
