Madden for the PC rocks
I don't know why people even bother to complain about the rosters. If you have been playing Madden football for any number of years then you would know the rosters are usually based from the previous year's roster and are never exactly 100% correct by the time the game hits the stores. For this reason I make myself the GM of every team and if I don't agree with a particular player's attributes I just go and change them. If there is a player who is missing I just create him or trade for him, sometimes with a team from another era. I kinda like having Jason Campbell throwing to Art Monk or handing off to John Riggins, who also blocks for Clinton Portis. Dick Butkus, The Fridge & Walter Payton playing alongside Brian Urlacher. Terrell Owens & Trent Edwards with O.J. Simpson. Jamal Lewis and Jim Brown in the same backfield. Christian Okoye & Derrick Thomas on the same Kansas City Chiefs as Matt Cassel and Larry Johnson. The Dolphins with Marino, Clayton, Duper, Csonka, Mercury Morris & Ricky Williams. The Chargers with Philip Rivers, LT & Chuck Muncie. I like having players on the game whose names I know, even if I created them and even if they are on teams I do not like and don't play with. I probably got carried away with the rosters but they are mostly up-to-date and as you can see, some teams are stacked.
Game play is also impacted by your video card, even though Madden is not as graphics intense as other games I still recommend getting the best video card you can realistically afford and a game pad for the best experience. I never noticed some of the glitches other people talk about. My modest setup is starting to get old but still plays this game and others quite well even on maxed out settings:
Pentium 4 3.2GHz
2x1GB PC3200 RAM
A-Power 680w PSU
BFG 6800GT OC graphics card/BenQ FP951 monitor
Game Elements PC Recoil Gamepad
Logitech Precision Gamepad
Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D Joystick
ThrustMaster NASCAR Pro Digital 2 Racing Wheel
Maybe I like football and gaming a little bit too much
DONT BUY IT
could not run the game.EA support is lousy.EA gives you the run around and they dont know how to fix their own product.still waiting to hear from them and its been a month already.buyer beware.
Fun to play, fun to hate.
First of all I love madden. Love Franchise mode. Got this for my Pc so that i cuold use a xbox360 controller to play it(No i don't have an xbox360 just the controller) and that worked fine after i downloaded the patch. Was addicting to my franchise for days and if thats all the time you want out of this game its a great buy. However after i week i want to add created players to my franchise and start a franchise with a created team(things you could do in 04), well you can't do that anymore, or atleast i can't figure it out. After three seasons all my players unexplainably had an awareness jump to 99, even my backups. You don't have a choice in this and now i don't have to fun of making my team better by myself. Then if you play the games long enough you will notice its like the game cheats for the computer. You will fumble the ball 4 times a game while the computer never does. Corner backs will make plays on balls when they were running the other way and weren't looking. The first season i played LT broke the rushing record by over 500 yrds. Ive gone undefeated and lost the coach of the year to three loss teams. Then if you go even deeper the team ratings are outlandish. The Patriots who lost the super bowl are the all time greatest team. The texans are rating below the european leagues. There are year specific teams that are better than thier all time teams. Ex: the 75 vikings who lost to the steelers are better than the all time steelers!?!? Then there are real glitches, my game sounds only work half of the time. Bottom line the premise if real fun but the execution is terrible.
Lost in time
The problem with game reviews for sports is that they are supplanted by the latest season's games. Kids who are really into them, with knowledge of the players, perhaps having virtual leagues of their own, the so-called "fantasy leagues", need and insist upon the most up to date player info, etc. They do not mind setting up the games for accuracy purposes.
I on the other hand am older; I can remember the 1960 Pirates lineup, but not the wide receivers of the Dolphins last year. So, for me, I want a game that is simple and sets itself up. This game is not like that, as it assumes you are an enthusiast and will want to set up your teams in detail. As such, I did not have the patience to peruse the game for long and must give it a medium review.
Classic!
Since EA refuses to make another PC version of the Madden, I will continue to play this dated version. For me it still holds up! This is the third one I've purchased because I wear the game out from playing so much. I'll try to take better care of this one.
What I also like about my purchase were the Tiger Woods golf and the other games that were included.
