I bought this game and instantly saw the improvements that it had made from the previous years. Ive never been a fan of the madden series because of its lack of momentum which Fever excels at. Most players don't like the animations that take place during momentum because it takes away from the gameplay, but the realism of momentum is what football is all about. I don't like stick figures who can cut left and right without seeing a shift in body weight. XSN is great, the design is amazing and the seasons are awesome if you can find a lot of people. The LIVE feature is great again with upgraded presentations. The sound in the game is great, but what blows me away is the music during the start and LIVE menus. It isn't rap or heavy metal or anything, but it captures the heart of true football. The graphics in fever are amazing again, but this year's player models do look a lot more realistic, and i don't care what anybody says, Madden and ESPN's graphics can never compare to the Microsoft engine. That's why the ONLY FOR XBOX games always have good graphics. PS2 and Cube can't support the graphics that the BOX can, so whenever games are made for all systems, they usually always lack in graphics...but anyways FEVER 2004 is the best football game that i have ever played and i would recommend it to any and everybody looking for a realistic football game.
