This thread has been linked to the game 'NFL 2004'.
Bought NFL a few days back and I must say it has managed to improve on the excellent 2003 version. Franchise mode rules but I've yet to build my own stadium so I look forward to that. I've played Franchise with the Eagles and we've gotten off to a bad start. We played Dallas and lost 21-17. We were ahead until the final 5 seconds when Dallas intercepted the ball and made a run to make a touchdown. I better improve on my throwing and efending I think. Anyway we're 20th and I'll tell you if I win my second game later.
By the way. Buy this game. If you own 2003 then trade it in. Out with the old and in with the new is what I say.

I've finished all the pre-season matches now - I beat the Vikings comfortably at home and then scraped a win against the Cowboys in Dallas, scoring a field goal right at the end of the game to win 24-21.
So now I can access all my Owner's Box menus and set the prices for everything, which looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Sadly, the Raiders seem to be one of the poorer teams in financial terms (some of the coaches are already complaining about wages), and their stadium isn't the biggest either (although it holds 63,000, there aren't many other teams with stadiums smaller than that), so I'm going to have to work hard to get some money together and try and improve everything.
Amazing game so far.

Good luck Afro. At the moment I'm playing the Falcons and I'm drawing with them and it's the middle of the third quarter! It's an excellent game and neither of us is giving an inch. Any more people started Franchise besides me and Afro?
I started my Franchise.
Been playing as the Oakland Raiders, of course.
Beat the Rams by a huge margain in my opening game, and then lost by a point to the 49ers next match. Next up I'm at home to the Vikings.

Eagles all the way!

I'll probably start a Franchise doing just that, then.
I don't really like the 5 minute quarters as it takes quite a long time to play through, which means I can only do one match at a time, when I'd much rather play two or three.
I doubt I'll be playing it on pro either. It's been a long time since I played Madden 2002 or 2003, but hopefully with some play I'll become good again. :-D

Sorry Afro. I play 3 minute quarters and have it on Pro setting. I did all the training bits as well as the four pre-season matches. I've just played my first season match and won 23-7! That means I'm first. Won't last for long I bet.
I'll be picking up Madden 2004 on Saturday. I have Madden 2003 and I really like it, but I never really got really stuck into it because of the amount of Memo cards it uses. So I'll get the X-Box version this time.
Before I got 2003 the only NFL game I watched was Superbowl 38, so I had very little idea of the rules, but that was half the fun for me, just progresing through the game and learning the rules of the game as I went along. So if 2004 is pretty much the same then it should be fun, and easy for beginners to pick up and have fun learning to play.

Pop, for Ghost Killer or anyone else with the game that has started a Franchise.
