I must say...there is disappointment with the artificial intelligence. One of the game's features allows us to customize the game's intelligence level?...Obviously, it doesnt' work or the game/creator is extremely dumb. I run the same play for the entire game but the defensive coverage doesn't change. How about a challenge next time guys!

The other thing I dislike is the draft. When the draft mode is set...it is not a total team draft. Approximately 5 offensive and defensive players are drafted to new teams. What a huge disappointment. If I had wanted to keep some of the original players I would've chosen to use the Trade mode rather than the Draft mode.

Having said this, the playability is very good and the stadiums are nice to play in. I love the feature of having all the SuperBowl teams (maybe next time we can get rights to the player's names) and to the All-Time teams. Overall, its definitely worth the money.

I bought this game and Madden 2000. I thought this game was better at first but Madden still is the king when it comes to pure football simulation. Same playbook make it easy to pick-up to play, but get repetitious. Also the celebrations are a little ridiculous. Only thing I like better over Madden is the commentary is personalize like "Terrell Davis busts one off for a huge gain", rather than in Madden Summerall would say "he just went over 100 yards". Call me crazy but those little details make the game seem more realistic. Final rating Madden 4.5 Gameday 2

Lots of additional reinfinement makes this a great game, maybe the best. The graphics have received quite a bit of boost, and really look great. The gameplay is strong and exciting, just like it has been since NFL Gameday 1996. I love this game, and it really deserves a spot in every gamer's collection.
