A few years back I was looking into finding a Madden game to sink my teeth into.
Madden 2004 was on my list as the offensive-oriented game fit my gamestyle, and it was the last one to have all full feature Create-A-Playbook could offer.
I made a few videos of my in practice mode testing things out. One issue I had was the bad camera on defense that forces you to control either a defensive linemen or a middle linebacker because the camera did not zoom out when the CPU was passing the ball.
In the end, I could never get fully involved in the game as I’m just not of fan of franchise mode, below are those videos.
