Editing Madden NFL 2004 (section)

==Gameplay==
New features in ''Madden 2004'' include a new owner mode option that allows the player to control a [[Sports franchising|franchise]]. In this mode, the player takes on all the responsibilities related to owning a professional football team, from regulating [[hot dog]] prices, to team relocation, to hiring and firing [[coach (sport)|coaching staff]]. Another new feature is the ability to edit a historic team. Also, a new [[National Football League Training Camp|training camp]] mode, occurring before the [[preseason]], that can help player progress faster by putting him through mini-camp drills.

This Madden game is best known for its version of then-Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, an arguably [[Game balance|overpowered]] character and by acclaim the greatest Madden player of all-time due to his 95 speed rating.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.gamesradar.com/how-ps2-era-michael-vick-had-a-big-effect-on-madden-nfl-17/|title = How PS2-era Michael Vick had a big effect on Madden 17|date = 13 July 2016|access-date = 5 September 2019|archive-date = 5 September 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190905204942/https://www.gamesradar.com/how-ps2-era-michael-vick-had-a-big-effect-on-madden-nfl-17/|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url = https://andscape.com/features/michael-vick-madden-nfl-2004/|title = Michael Vick on Madden NFL 2004|date = 23 August 2016|access-date = 16 July 2022|archive-date = 29 June 2022|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220629193748/https://andscape.com/features/michael-vick-madden-nfl-2004/|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://proxy.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/030821 |title=ESPN.com: Page 2 : Who's better than Bo? |access-date=2019-09-05 |archive-date=2018-12-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181231212452/http://proxy.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/030821 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2016, developer Clint Oldenburg told Gameradar that over the next several years "features were added to the game specifically to stop Vick." The 04 version of Vick has been used in Madden NFL [[Madden NFL 25 (2013 video game)|25]] and [[Madden NFL 15|15]] in Ultimate Team mode as a 99 overall with either 99 or 100 speed.

The game is an EA Sports Bio game, and is compatible with other EA Sports games with the feature (''[[NCAA Football 2004]]'', ''[[NASCAR Thunder 2004]]'').<ref>{{cite web |last=MacGruder |first=Randy |date=September 22, 2003 |url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2003/09/22/nascar-thunder-2004-2 |title=NASCAR Thunder 2004 (PS2) |website=[[IGN]] |access-date=May 19, 2015 |archive-date=April 2, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402180835/http://www.ign.com/articles/2003/09/22/nascar-thunder-2004-2 |url-status=live }}</ref>
