Let's me be clear here. I'm not just talking about minor annoyances. After hours of trying, I still have not yet made my own franchise or traded a player. Gameplay was good except I can't figure out how to punt or kick-off and actually, I'm not sure about the passing either. I went 0-10 in the one game I fully played.
Graphics are great.
The best part about the game. Actually, in PC games the graphics are the only thing that has changed much the last five years. I liked the sound even though old Madden said some dumb things in relation to action on the field. For me this game was a follow up to Madden 98. For those of you have have played Madden 98 you will realize why my review is so complimentary, these 2 games are in extreme contrast to each other.
