Introduction

At this point, it's as American as pumpkin pie, as anticipated as any major holiday, and as exciting as any major life event (at least to me). I'm talking about the yearly release of Madden, of course.

This year, the happiness continues, with a great new version of the game for 2003. Boasting several new modes, sharpened graphics and much tighter AI, it's safe to say that this is the best it's ever been.

That said, this game is hard! Luckily for you, we're completely addicted to it and have been playing the game non-stop since it hit store shelves (well, a bit before as well), and we've crafted the most immense Madden guide to ever grace the site. Packed with offensive and defensive tips, Mini-camp strategy, a full Franchise walkthrough stuffed with expert tips, the complete list of Madden Cards and how to unlock them, key plays for every team and more!

We'll take your game to the next level, whether you want to win the Super Bowl, collect all the Cards, or school someone online. Read on!
