NFL Fever 2004

THE BAD:
-------------------------

SUMMARY:
Ahh, yet another football game in the long, long, long line of football games. Some of them are good, and some are bad. And some of them are really f'ed up (Blitz, I'm thinking of you). Fever has been the easieist to use for me, because the plays are real simple. The controls, however are really hard to master. First of all when picking 'Home' or 'Away' they tell you how to control your player at each point (Before snap, after snap, with/out ball, QB etc.) so you learn those controls. Then after you pick your team and get to the loading screen, they tell you different, so you rush to learn those controls before the game loads. When you get in the game you find that the controls are not what you've been told. There is a different Turbo button for EVERY position and pre/post snap. The plays also feel like they've been dummed way down....

THE BAD:
kicking scheme

SUMMARY:
This game is a solid choice, while not ESPN Football its still worth checking out, with a nice franchise mode that allows you to relocate your team, choose a new staduim, create players, and more this game will provide lots of fun! , and the player details are great! Rent it and see what you think, a solid choice. READ AND LEAD PASSING RULES! Also the A.I. can suit all levels of play, and if Read and Lead Passing doesnt hit your stride (i cant see why it wont) trigger passing still allows u to control throw height and how hard, or u can do traditonal 1 button passing, i'm getting live soon so once i can play others worldwide the game will become far more enjoyable. Not a hard core gamer who can master a game in about 5 minutes? well try training to get used to the control scheme. i did it and i must say...
