Can be fun, But TOTALLY UNREALISTIC [Posted on 2003-01-04]
This game can be fun and addictive, however it can be frustrating. The computer will always end up winning any game you play. I have started several different Franchises, but have only won 1 game! One example: I was ahead by 1 point with about 50 seconds left, and 6 of my men missed a 80 yard for touchdown RB screen pass.
The CPU will NEVER run a balanced offense, if they are ahead by 21 points with 20 minutes left, they will still throw on every down! Expect about 400+ yards passing every game for the CPU. MOST frustrating...9 drops in 1 quarter??? 50% of the time a reciever will drop the ball when he gets hit. The graphics are AMAZING, but a SOMEWHAT REALISTIC game is more important to me. Hopefully Madden 2003 will have a better CPU offense and better human controlled defense.

Awesome Game [Posted on 2003-02-10]
Great game! The graphics are simply awesome! The gameplay is smooth.Hint:type in the cheat code "GOLDENGOD" to unlock all classic teams.

Great game terrible AI [Posted on 2003-04-14]
Well, Madden 2002 is all in all good but not great. First off the AI stinks, thats it. Everything about the AI is bad, first the game plays out too slow, a 5:00 4 quarters goes out for a long time. Then its impossible to stop the defensive pass plays, there are many consectutive completions in your game. But thats the only gripe I have about this game, the rest is really good. I forgot the commentary stinks, dont have Pat Summeral do the commentary, he is dull and boring, thank god 2003 version has micheals in the game. The rookie difficulity is too easy and the pro diffuclity is too hard. On rookie I won with 49ers 45-14 vs. Saints, it is good to win, but the pro is too difficult, the lions beat me 35-7. Great graphics and real live gamplay but...

EA FIX THE AI...... you would probably have 5 stars if you did that

great, but bad defense [Posted on 2004-01-28]
Madden 2002 for the pc is very good graphically. An occasional frame rate problem is the only thing wrong with that. (5/5)
The sound is good, but the commentators are stupid. when i return a kick for a touchdown, they always say, "you know how baseball haas these guys who can just close out games? Well football has thes guys who can just flat out return kicks." There is more bad stuff, but I will leave it. (2/5)
Gaameplay is good. (5/5) Another bad thing though is defense. Exceept against the run, the defense iss a sieve. For example, in my franchise, My team has allowed -20 yds rushing, but 300 yds passsing a game. But the other teams defense stinks as well. I am averaging 320 yds passing plus 140 yds rushing. I win by an average of 84 to 10. i once scored 271 pooints, but the computer only went up to 255. But the game is really fun, so I gave it 4 stars.

Doesn't work [Posted on 2004-10-16]
My copy of Madden 2002 is not much fun. Whenever I try to do franchise it zooms throgh the numbers. I'm sure it is fun for the people who it does work.
