"Best Football game EVER.......Very Possible!!!"

Intro
This is what gaming should be. Crisp graphics, Outstanding gameplay, and Awesome Hard-Hitting action! A true, true Masterpiece.

Graphics: 9/10
Wow! I never knew I had the whole NFL in my TV, ready to play whenever I see fit. That's the realism you get when you play Madden 2002. The player animations are awesome. You have players sitting on the bench, standing around and talking, even cooling off by the fan. And different from the previous Madden titles, They're not all number 88. One thing that the game has as a flaw, no contact between the players, in the replay mode, at the right angle, you can tell the players is not getting hit when he's tackled. And the ball jumps up right before the player catches it. These are very minor things that can very well be overlooked compared to the greatness of the game.

Gameplay: 10/10
If you love football, you will play this game till the end of you're days. This game, as with all sports games, is about the same every time you play it. But this is very addicting. Once you play one game, before you know it you're through year 11 of your franchise mode. It is really that good. You play this game, and when you're not playing this game, you want to be.

Control: 10/10
With control as easy as this, you'll have your whole family playing this game in a few hours. That's right, even you're mom won't have any trouble playing this game. How else could I describe it? They are sharp and right-on. Pressure-sensitive means you can lob a pitch to a back, or put some mustard on a Hail Mary to a wide open receiver.
