For the past fifteen years now, the football video
game has been dominated by one company. EA Sports. It's amazing how it has evolved from the 16-bit
game on the NES with only the option to do a season, to Madden 64, to the latest of the next generation consoles. Every year it seams that EA Sports has managed to make one tweak to a specific, minor thing to improve the
game. I started playing Madden
games when Madden '94 came out for SNES. It kept me entertained for hours, with it's limited options of
game play. Two years later, I picked up Madden '96, which was a huge improvement on the '94 edition. It allowed people to create players and do mini camp drills. When I got N64, I immediately went to see when the Madden
game would come out for it. When it did, I was not surprised with how good it was. Well, the graphics were good, the fact that they didn't have the rights to the team names, still angers me. That was the first 3-D sports
game I owned. And when '99 came out, I picked it up as soon as I could. Not only did they fix the rights issue, but they added Franchise mode, which allowed players up to multiple seasons of football. After a few years of laying off Madden
games, due to the fact that I had got Dreamcast at the turn of the millennium, I picked up Madden 2002 for the computer. Again, it didn't fail me. It added a list of 'Greatest
Games' for you to play. I only rented Madden 2003, but again it left me jaw dropped. It added Mini-
Games to play and and Al Micheals to the Play By Play. Do you believe in miracles? Because Madden 2004 added a brand new feature to any sports
game. Owner mode. It allowed you to control the ticket, concession, parking and advertisements pricing of your franchise. It also added a great new feature while you play the
game. It gave you the feature to audible plays while they happen with the shift of the C-Stick. Now, we are at 2005. 15 years, 15
games. But maybe, just maybe this could be the greatest sports
game of our time.
