Online Play |
| Nutty from Atlanta,GA says (12/May/2003): |
I feel the online play could be alot better. First of all it's too slow... It's like playing another Video Game.... The game play should play like it would if you were playing someone in your house... Now Sega NFL 2k3 plays that way.. for the x-box... That's because it only accepts high speed internet. There should be a room for high speed and a separate room for dial up... And you should be to see the difference... When this happens, the online experience will be taken to a new height...

Computer Cheats |
| Star from United States New York says (30/May/2003): |
Whats Up? It seems that the computer is able to do things we can't, like pick up a fumble and break four tackles on the way to a touchdown. They also seem to always be open no matter what defense play you pick. Now I know we get advantages like I can run the Hb pass and run for 20 yards every play but when they throw into a zone 10 yards away something is wrong. They also make it impossible to make your lineman better in franchise mode they never get pancakes, I don't know. I don't have time to play 15 mintue quarters so my line man never get any pancakes and I have the best lineman. Even though madden has somethings to workout it is still better then NFL2K3.

Other games don't come close. |
| Moe from Philadelphia says (17/Jun/2003): |
Madden 2003 on PS2 is by far the best game ever made. Its that easy. Other games, you get bored of playing after a period of a few weeks or even a month or two. But not this game. The franchise mode, which can extend up to 30 years into the future, is the best feature of any sports game ever made. The draft, the rookie scouting, this is the peak of video games. All I can say is, bring on Madden 2004.

7 things to improve upon |
| Nick from Burnt Hills, New York says (1/Jul/2003): |
We all know its the best game ever. here are seven things that can make it untouchable.
1. Mel Kiper doing draft analysis at the booth and showing clips from college of your first round pick. how amazing would that be?
2. Showfirst round pick walkin up to the commissioner to get the new jersey and shake his hand.
3. Player introductions at the Super Bowl.
4. Show plauyers getting off the team bus at the super bowl, complete with headphones, street clothes, luggage, stuff like that. Makes the players more realistic and personal.
5. Hall of Fame after 5 years. When a guy retires, five years later he shows up on the ballot and you can choose whether or not to vote him in, or the computer chooses. For exapmle, David Carr just finished a great 17 year career in my franchise and i need a way to honor him.
6. Lower the standards for linemen to get better. Its impossible to rack up 130 tackles, even with urlacher or lewis. Pancakes, tackles, and sacks by linemen should be either easier to get or the players should not be punished for having only 15 pancakes a year, then go down 7 points. (that way i wont have to sign a DT free agent or 1st round pick every year)

Player Progression |
| derick from Illinois, USA says (8/Jul/2003): |
I love the game, but got one beef. My favorite part of the game is the offseason, but the progression is disappointing. It seems impossible to improve linemen on either side of the ball. I play the Bears and my defensive line drops every year despite having the best rushing defense in the league and my offensive line (except Colombo and Kruetz) follows suit while allowing the fewest sacks and supporting the best rushing totals in league. What is the deal. It is also impossible to keep up with league leaders in outside of your running back, quarterback and one or two wideouts or tightends. Tackles are never even close. I think I have gotten 70 something for Warrick Holdman a couple times. Most of them go to my defensive backs since the CPU goes all pass after I shut them down on their first 5-10 rushing attempts.

Offseason Improvements |
| Arlen McCann from Aurora, IL, USA says (19/Jul/2003): |
For me, I've mastered circlin around the salary cap and its 2 easy 2 bring back every single player on my roster and sign the best free agents every season. The players also will sign with u no matter wut as long as u offer cash and years. I think they should add a players motivation 2 be able 2 win it all and not just resign for cash. Madden 2004 should have situations like the one with takeo spikes, he gits pissed cause he looses, so he leaves. Also, stop makin Jerry Rice retire after one season! theyve done that in every madden game since like '99 or somethin. Finally, no matter how good a defense i get, and no matter how badly i may be beatin the computer team, they always manage like 600 yards passin and score 40 pts. Perhaps making offense harder and the A.I on D would help with this problem. Finally, kickin field goals is sometimes impossible. i aint good at it, but im not the only 1 who has kiked a 50 yard field goal and have it land in the corner of the end zone.

Some other Suggestions |
| Wes from Monongahela, PA says (3/Aug/2003): |
I have heard a lot of great ideas, and this is my opinion, I'm a HUGE Madden fan. I think that matter should take a slight turn towards "WWE Smackdown" stuff.. What I mean is, one thing like Nick said earlier in another post. that would make the game untouchable, is Press conferences(or clips of such), Interviews, Super Bowl Presentations, A more interactive Draft, stuff like that. Locker Room Interactiveness. To make the game more realistic. Otherwise, the game is great.

Raiders,Bucs,Giants.The worlds best teams. |
| David Jackson from Preston,Lancashire,England says (7/Aug/2003): |
Madden is by far the best foozball game on the market and maybe the best sports game altogether.The only thing is you need to know quite alot about the sport and rules, luckiy I do.
Although a couple of things that would make it better are a Superbowl and Probowl presentations instead of the normal build up.
Also as I saw before locker-room interviews with players and coaches if they have been playing ecceptionly well or very badly.

the game was great |
| capito from Detroit, Michgan,USA says (19/Aug/2003): |
I like pllaying madden because it one of those games thats always fun to play by your self or with somebody else. The only thing that I did't like is that you can not pitch the ball back while runing. the game is fun but i can't wate until I get madden 2004.
|
fantastic but easy |
| zob from london England says (3/Sep/2003): |
amazing game but a bit too eze ive had the game about six months and my winning streak on my first franchise is 36-0-0 with the Raiders but still a top class game one of the best of all time I cant wait for madden 04 to come out in England.

Stadium Rebuild |
| Mike D from Charlotte (NC) US says (6/Sep/2003): |
The game is awesome to the fullest. However, when you select a colored background for the end zones in the stadium rebuild feature, it doen't take place. Maybe it's just that I'm doing something wrong. If any of you know of how to accomplish this or even if it's broken, please let me know. But the game is still a winner in my books!!!
|
Stuff to add |
| Ryan from Belle Mead, NJ says (20/Sep/2003): |
i think this is one of the best games i ever played. but i have some suggestions too. i read some of the other reveiws and agree with some of the things they said. you should be able to change players positions. their should be expansion drafts. the computers should do more in franchise mode like put players on IR and make trades with you. it would be cool if you could hold practices in franchise mode too. and the playbook creator should allow you to create a wider range of plays such as reverses.

How come injuries are always "Will return soon"? |
| Nathan Wilson from CA,USA says (24/Dec/2003): |
I think all they need to make this game perfect is just:
1. Make the franchise with lots of depth
2. This is the only nitpick of this game I have, I love to make my season realistic, if my team goes over 650 total yards I restart I don't even care if it's GOOD for my team! Whenever I get injuries they never last! IT makes the game more realistic if starters actually get injured once in a while for 1-7 weeks. I hate when I get 2 injuries in a game and both are like at most 2 quarters. What is UP with that! PLZ give me a YES or a NO on this one. I'm thinking aobut writing an FAQ so I need feedback. THX

why is the computer so good |
| spazz from florida,USA says (15/Sep/2003): |
Ok the dive button in madden is so underatted why? A player will be within arms reach you dive you chewing turf. How do you defend the deep ball when average players dont have a brain and mis judge balls. why does wide receviers have jordaness hang time if the computer was smart they would just throw bombs and have 600 yards of passing per game. why does the hb or fb move out of the way of blitzing lb's. whats with the computer and the quick score before the end of the half? The strip ball button is a fraud even when the computer fumbles fat lineman and cat-like on the recoveries. How do you block kicks someone tell me. Game needs overall improvement
|
Wheres the latteral? |
| Jake from Chicago, Il says (1/Jan/2003): |
I really enjoyed the game but what happened to the latteral? I was getting excited about having another Madden but with no latteral I can't do as much as is NCAA Football '03. All in all though this game rules. I got it for Christmas and can't complain.
|
The game is so good, just a bit more improvement and it will be perfect. |
| Gerald from USA says (28/Mar/2003): |
Needs the latteral, You need 4 good cb's to cover even bad recievers. The only thing that stops that is a heavy blitz or rush. Make the kickers get injured more easily. They should get hurt after a late hit during a field goal. Catching, running, intercepting is so good. Have more and better historical players. I'm not don't know if you already have these guys but unless it is for only 30 year olds, have Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Chris Carter, Bo Jackson. The game still rocks.

!Bang! what a hit in the game industry |
| Dylan from Calgary, Alberta says (19/Jun/2003): |
Hmm? were do I start Ooo yes, what to say about madden 2003 more like what not to say this is got to be in the top three in video games EVER maybe #1 this game has fantastic graphics great gamplay and up to date rosters, this game give's you freedom to do almost anything, I give this game a full 10, look strongley forward to madden 2004.
|
What I Think |
| Anderson from Australia,Victoria says (18/Jul/2003): |
i think that madden 2003 is the best game apart form some problems like in fanchise mode lineman don't get any better and how you can't let and let out your friends while playing fanchise's but other than that it is the best sports game for the minute.

Madden floors the competition once again |
| Kurupt from Detroit Michigan USA says (18/Aug/2003): |
This game is awesome..$#< remove me > at ! the wwe smackdown interview bull$#< remove me > at ! this ain't wrasslin this is football. The Playmaker Control is sick, what else could you ask for than not having to depend on lousy cpu offensive lines when you're tearing up the defense and controlling your own blocks. The graphics and animations are amazingly crisp and the gameplay is awesome. Hey if you're having problems stopping the pass....here's a suggestion....SELL YOUR DAMN GAME CUZ IF YOU AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO STOP A FREAKIN PASS YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO OWN A GAME AS GOOD AS THIS LEARN HOW TO CALL YOUR COVERAGE for crying out loud you even get to see your opponents offensive set up before you call your defensive play. All around Madden 2004 brings home another championship
