Madden NFL 2002 for PlayStation 2

Pros: awesome graphics, ultra-realistic gameplay, tons of modes
Cons: the Patriots still suck

I’m a big fan of sports games. If made correctly, they never become tiresome. They’re not linear like most other games. There’s no real way to “beat” them. You can play a good sports game almost forever. I played NHL 94’ for the SNES for about a year...

Pros: Better graphics, better gameplay, better sound, more options.
Cons: Commentary still annoying, AI still needs a little tweaking.

For those who remember, I was one of the few people to simply just slam Madden 2001 like there was no tomorrow. For good reason, too. The game had the most hideous AI, gameplay, and options for something that had so much potential. Well, EA turned...

Pros: Defensive A.I. is wicked, graphics are much improved
Cons: Football players don't usually run into their blocker's backside

I've had this game for some time now. Originally I wanted to get a review out right from the start. However, I decided that I wanted to play this game enough to submit a formidable review. By reviewing it off of only a few games played, I wouldn't...

Pros: The Best Video Football Game EVER!
Cons: I can't run on All-Madden.

Like a right of passage at the end of each summer I anxiously await the latest version of Madden Football from EASports. For me this started probably 15 years ago when Tecmo Bowl for Nintendo was the latest and greatest. I remember the first "Madden"...

Pros: Enhanced Graphics, improved animations, Smarter AI, responsive controls, replay system, better tackling
Cons: awkward animations, cheating AI, dry and repeative commentary, computer blocks too well, memory demands

Can you hear the roar of the crowd as sports fans anticipate the wait of football season as it quickly approaches in the upcoming week. What better way to start the season off with an upgrade for one of the best selling sports games from EA sports,...

Pros: Good game play and graphics
Cons: Confusing

Without fail, there is one sports simulation that no only changes and improves year to year, but takes gaming to a whole new level.
Im talking, of course about Madden NFL 2002.

For those of you that have been living in a US Sports-less...

Pros: Excellent Graphics And Gameplay
Cons: John Madden's Commentary

There’s not a lot of ways that EA Sports could really improve upon the Madden franchise that has been their bread and butter for years and years now. Madden 2001, the first definitive football title for the virginal Playstation 2, seemed to hit...

Pros: The battle of the consoles; great graphics; interesting and addictive game
Cons: addictive

What’s going on in the more than $7 billion video-game industry? For the regular fans, enthusiasts of video game, most of the following is not anything new. What’s new is that a major player such as Microsoft is determined to take a major piece of the...

Pros: great graphics, fun to play, many different and unique modes of play
Cons: memory needed to store data

Usually I do not care to play sports games that much. I might play one game once every two weeks on the average. However once I started playing Madden NFL 2002 on the PS2, I could not stop. This is one game that I believe I will not get tired of...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, realistic gameplay and animations, new music, adjustable AI, lots of options
Cons: Commentary is repetitive and sometimes stupid

I remember back in the early 90's when EA Sports brought us Madden football. It was groundbreaking 3-D football with tiny little team characters and side-splitting (or annoying...depending on your demeanor) sound-bytes from John Madden himself. It was...

Pros: Franchise mode
Cons: awkward player models, slow gameplay, horrid play call screens, just a bad football game

Madden NFL 2001 was one of the most critically acclaimed games that launched with the PS2. However, unlike many, I was not impressed. In my opinion Madden 2001 was too slow, too hard to control, and had too many AI issues to be enjoyable. However,...

Pros: Best NFL game to date for the PS2
Cons: Graphically inferior to NCAA 2002, and IS NCAA 2002 with NFL uniforms.

Ok, I have read countless reviews about how great Madden 2002 is for the PS2. Let me preface my review buy first stating my gaming history. I have played the Madden series every year since 1992, and I currently own 2001 for the PS2 and NCAA 2002 for the...

Pros: franchise mode, replayablility, incredible amount of options
Cons: madden still talks, weak instruction booklet

This game is just unreal. The heart of the game is franchise mode, so that is where i spend most of my review, but of course there is more to it then that...

The graphics are incredible. They really put a lot of effort into the details, down...

Pros: Better Secondary and Linebackers, Crisper Graphics, Challenges
Cons: Challenges could use tweaking, Not too many new plays, No 85 Bears team

Why Maddens is consistently #1 (synopsis of past versions)
In about the year 1991, the first truly great Maddens came out. Millions of gamers discarded their copies of Tecmo bowl, no longer could defenses literally pick the offenses' plays...

Pros: very fun, keeps your interest
Cons: each game is long

I recently got Madden 2002 for ps2 as a Christmas present. I thought this was one of the perfect gifts because I love football, and second love football games. The gameplay is absolutely incredible in Madden. The only downfall is that it takes an hour...
