Catch the Fever

Okay. Forget what you know about football games, including everything you think you know about NFL Fever. This season, NFL Fever 2004 is ready to take football gaming to the next dimension. And nothing you have seen so far can compare.

The only football game made specifically for the Xbox®, NFL Fever 2004 features graphics that'll make Sunday broadcasts pale in comparison. Real player faces, reflections on helmets, and silky-smooth animations really bring the NFL action to your Xbox. Adding exclamation to the stunning visuals is Dolby 5.1 audio that completely surrounds you with the ferocious sounds of football.

NFL action on your Xbox.

And don't forget that NFL Fever 2004 is the XSN Sports launch title. This isn’t just another feature; this is about creating a totally new gaming experience with competition that goes beyond the game. For the first time ever, create your own leagues, build your own rivalries, and stay plugged into your stats online.

Sure, NFL Fever 2004 has all the features, but how does it play? Thankfully this is where Fever really shines. Whether you are a first-time football game player or a seasoned vet, Fever has it covered. One-button gameplay makes it easy for anyone to pick up the game, but for the hardcore, Fever is setting a new standard for control with the innovative Read and Lead Passing. The computer no longer decides where your pass is going; now you can really take the reins of an NFL offense and lead your team to victory. You can stop receivers’ routes, throw low and behind for a sliding grab, and even throw high so your big tight end can take advantage of the smaller safety. After you’ve played a game with Read and Lead Passing, you’ll never be able to go back to the old way.

Experience Fever and never go back.

And no matter what your skill level, you’ll appreciate the all-new Ask the Coach feature that gives you detailed reports on your opponent’s tendencies and even suggests plays to use. After you’ve called the play, you still have a ton of ways to mix-up the defense (or stop the offense) with the most advanced hot route system ever. You can even send your running back to a different hole at the line of scrimmage and adjust blocking schemes on-the-fly. NFL Fever gives you total control over the game from the sideline, in the huddle, and at the line of scrimmage.

Innovative single-player and multiplayer gaming? Check. Unrivaled league and tournament play on Xbox Live®? Check. Simply put, no other football game can deliver an experience even close to that of NFL Fever 2004.
