While it shouldn't come as a surprise that Madden 2002 is simply a beefed-up, slightly refined version of the first PlayStation 2 Madden title, it is a bit disappointing. Even still, the game manages to one-up last year's Madden in most categories. Madden 2002 includes a good list of new features and options, as well as some slight but noticeable visual improvements. Madden 2002 features two basic modes, easy play and normal. The primary difference between the modes is that easy play starts you off with almost every bit of computer assistance turned on, including features designed to help bring new players up to speed. One such feature is a receiver indicator that lets you know exactly when it's safe to pass the ball. In either mode, you can choose from seven different game options: exhibition, season, franchise, tourney, custom league, practice, and situation. While most of Madden 2002's modes of play are pretty much par for the course, the franchise mode, which allows you to play up to 30 consecutive seasons, is really quite extraordinary. The situation mode is also an impressive addition, allowing you to put your players into just about any foreseeable scenario--be it 10 seconds on the clock, third down, and 30 yards to go or whatever other situation you can dream up, the options are near limitless. With the game's extensive general manager options, you can do everything from creating a player to creating an entire team. The create-a-player feature in Madden 2002 is easily one of the most robust create-a-player modes ever. The height and weight stats are customizable, and there are more than 65 faces and 20 different face shapes to choose from. The create-a-player mode also includes seven other adjustable areas of a player's body such as thighs, arms, and waistlines. Each one of these areas can be customized to have a certain amount of fat and muscle. While visually impressive, these physical traits also directly tie into the player's ability on the field. For instance, a 6-foot-6-inch 300-pound behemoth would obviously make a lousy quarterback, and a 6-foot-6-inch 250-pound player wouldn't be much of a lineman. You can also customize your player's equipment, including shoe size, visor type, and face mask configuration, among other things. The create-a-team option is just as impressive, allowing you to pick the team's logo, customize the uniforms, and even create your own stadium. If you enjoy customizing your own team and players, Madden 2002 certainly has you covered. In the gameplay department, Madden 2002 plays almost identically to last year's title. The game still features a momentum-based physics system that accounts for the weight and speed of the player when determining how fast he can change direction when running. This system makes Madden 2002 feel a little unresponsive at first, but it quickly becomes second nature. The AI is very solid, and the inclusion of an AI adjustment scale--which allows you to adjust the AI of certain aspects of the computer's game, such as receiving, running, run blocking, and so on--just makes it that much better.......Read full review
One of the best questions out there is ''How do you follow up to one of the greatest games of all time?''. The answer...Madden 2002. Madden 2001 was amazing. Great gameplay,control,graphics,sound and great new features such as pressure sensitive hits and jukes. I couldn't get enough of it. The boys at EA Sports had done it again,scoring big with NHL 2001, FIFA 2001 and Nascar 2001 and I can't wait to see what they have in store for the 2002's of those games. Madden 2002 didn't not seem like it was going to be a great game to me personally, but since I was out and my mom was there, I thought I might give it a try.This was not like me, buying a game before renting it, but I thought ''oh I probably won't be able to rent it for a while because everybody and their cousin will have it and I probably won't be able to get it for awhile. But hey, who cares its just another Madden game. Surely not as good as the first one for PS2. I got home, hopping my mother had saved the receit.Now I just hope she has thrown it out. Madden 2002 is one of the most outstanding games I have played in my life(I'm only 14 so I wasn't around for the old ping-pong of Atari). The new game modes such as Training Mode-where you can earn tokens just for just practicing a couple of plays and formations,2-Minute-Drill-where you have 2 minutes to score as many touchdowns as you can. The graphics are off the wall.The sound is unbelievable. I could of sworn I heard some guys helmet pop right off of him and hit the ground right after I popped him with Charles Woodson.The gameplay is also amazing with the returns of the pressure sensitive jukes and hits. also either I didn't know about it before because I never used it which is most likely or it wasn't in the first game but the pump fakes are cool. So to all gamers out there, Don't be skeptical like I was. Don't even bother going to your local video store and renting Madden NFL 2002. It's a waste of money,energy(if you haft to walk to your local video store)or gas(if you have to drive the like myself). Just go buy it. Madden NFL 2002 is one game that should be in every gamers PlayStation2 video game library. 5/5Read full review

This is a fun game even if you don't know much about playstation. Not hard to pick teams or plays. It is very similar to the other years. So you really don't need to buy the new one every year
