Once you've got a play in place, you'll be able to change your players' behavior on the fly with the new "playmaker" feature, which lets you quickly tell a receiver or linebacker to change positions with a single tap of the right analog stick on your gamepad. On the field, Madden 2004 will let you make use of an improved play-calling interface that's less jarring and shows potential plays on top of the field so that you won't feel pulled out of the action. But obviously, one of the best ways to bring in crowds and win lots of popular support at home is also to have a great season.
You can even get right down into the details of what your concession stands are selling (beer, pretzels, T-shirts, bobble-head souvenirs, oversized novelty foam hands, and so on) and at what price. Your main goal in owner mode will be to raise money for your team-you can do this by making sure your games are packed to the rafters by buying TV ads, as well as by purchasing and building up an attractive stadium with different types of field, sidelines, and end zones, as well as architectural niceties like a big-screen monitor or a dome roof. As general manager, you'll be tasked with many of the objectives you might expect from a management game, including appointing a coaching staff (offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, special teams, and a head coach), trading players, and arranging moves to a new city if you receive a buy offer-you'll even be able to change your team's jerseys to reflect their new hometown. That's why all versions of Madden 2004 will feature the new owner mode, which will let you play as both the team on the field as well as the general manager of your team (rather than simply the head coach). Obviously, Madden 2004 will feature updated rosters and stats for all its players, but according to producer Rod Moye, the EA Sports Tiburon team wants to make sure that the new game isn't just a roster update in a box. The game will have some pretty significant new features on all platforms, including the comprehensive owner mode, but it will also have a few additions specific to the PC versions. We recently had the opportunity to see an early version of Madden NFL 2004 for the PC in motion.
