Madden NFL 2004 is the 14th installment of the Madden NFL series. Due to its great depth of features, it is widely considered to be the most complete football video game available for a console system as of 2004^{[citation needed]}. New features in Madden 2004 include a new owner mode option that allows the player to control a 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 coaching staff. Another new feature is the ability to edit a historic team. In previous versions, historic players did not have their names on their jerseys, due to NFLPA agreements. For example, Walter Payton is HB #34. In '04 you can change that and put his real name in the game. Also, a new training camp mode, occurring before the preseason, has been developed that can help player progress faster by putting him through mini camp drills. If one does well in these drills, points are earned to add to a player's attributes.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is shown on the front of the game's packaging.

[edit] Trivia

This is the last Madden game to use "Demo" as a playable camera view.
In his second preseason game of the season, Vick was injured with a fractured leg and would only play five games. This would further attibute to the Madden curse.
