Play? Yes. Worship? No.

For all of its faults, I prefer 2003 over 2004 due to:

1) more fluid inside running game
2) less of the "cut on a dime" factor
3) more zoom-out on instant replays (better analysis, etc)

I've read that #2 is fixed in 2005. Hopefully 1 and 3 will be as well.

#3 is a pretty minor complaint, and the DB AI in 2003 is not nearly as good in 2004.

CPU run game will be WORSE than in 04.
Beauty of last year's passing game will be taken away by the hyper-reactive zones of '05.
Quarterbacks will be much less accurate in 05.
Big runs won't be there, as the "school of fish" D tracking hunts you down eventually.
Agile running system will become known as "barely responsive running."
The Matchup Stick will be a backgammon player's wet dream, but not that great for the flow of a football game.
The Big Hits and User callouts will be cool.
The risk/reward factor of 04 will be diminished, as big plays, other than streaks, will be limited. Last year, if Darren Sproles made a couple guys miss, forget it. This year, he'll be tracked down by an 88 linebacker who was 10 yards away at one point.
It'll look better.
Dynasty will be really deep and all that.

And 04 will go down as the better game.

Just guesses though...

It's based on good old fashioned negativity.

While I'm not as negative as this guy might be, I am very leery about what EA will do to this game based on their track record. Like they've been screwing up Madden the past few years, and how they screwed up MVp 2004 this year by making a glitch where left-handed players barely hit HR's at all.

Bottom line I dont trust EA b/c sometimes it seems like they will screw up a big feature or take something out from year to year, only to add it back in next year and call it "new and improved"

Hey, you have a point. I'm not letting go of my 2004 anytime soon.

05 is dead to me.
