I was a HARD CORE fever fan, I executed every line of code god knows how many times in 02 & 03, I loved it. Microsoft must have out sourced the development of 04 to intern software engineers from the University of Tijuana! This game SUCKS!!! It blew me away how ridiculous the AI, graphics, and overall game play were... Very disappointing! My money and gaming time will be spent on ESPN this year
