The Graphics and animations have been completely redone, and players now resemble their real life counter parts. There are a lot of new tackling animations, and the way players run has been really smoothed out. Gone are the flaws like being able to get 10 sacks a game, 5 interceptions a game, and the ease of blocking field goals. NFL Fever has now added a little feature called defensive A.I.!

Maybe one of the biggest additions to the game falls in the passing category. The old school one button passing is still there, but unless you're a beginner, it won't bring you much success. The second option is trigger passing, giving you the ability to pinpoint the height and strength of your throws. The third, and hardest, is Read and Lead. You'll be using the right joy stick to aim your throws, and the trigger to pass. This will definetly take some time to learn, but it will be neccessary for maximum success.

The highlight of NFL Fever 2004, however, will undoubtedly be XSN Sports. With it you can organize your own leagues online, and all you have to worry about is showing up for the games. XSNsports.com will keep track of everything else.

As much as NFL Fever has improved, it still has it's downfalls. Somehow the announcing has gotten worse. They appear to have no concept of time at all, often questioning simple plays like taking a knee or going to a no huddle offense. Replays are not as smooth as they once were, and it often looks awkardly fast when players run to the line of scrimmage.

Overall, the NFL Fever series has now become a worthy contender in the football market. It doesn't have all the quirky little features like Madden, but it has transformed into a solid game of football. Anyone who's never played a game of NFL Fever should definetly give it a rent, but if you moderatly enjoyed the 2002, or 2003 editions, don't hesitate on picking this one up.

THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVERJan 18, 2004

I've played many football games and this one is the best ever. It is way better than the Madden games, the NFL 2K game, and ESPN games. They did a better job on this one than the last ones. You can bring your created players into your dynasty with you. The running is more realistic and you just don't go speeding by guys. You can make your own plays. When it was snowing the snow was only on the field and not on the sidelines. You can't make any teams. This one has online and the other ones didn't. THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!
