I don't care for sports game. Period. I just can't get into them due to the repetition involved. However, once I popped in Madden 2002 I had a grin on my face that hasn't left in days. I have enjoyed playing this game so much that I actually started a full season campaign (something I have never ever done before). The graphics are crisp, the gameplay is rock-solid, and the pure enjoyment of playing this is huge. Even non-sports game fans will like this title. It's vastly improved over Madden 2001 and noticeably more polished than NCAA 2002. Great, great game.
