Due to EA Games acquiring the exclusive NFL/NFLPA license for their Madden NFL game series in 2004, the game does not have an NFL license, and use generic names and rosters. However, the game features team cities almost identical to the NFL. The only difference is a Los Angeles team instead of the New York Giants. You can edit the team names, uniforms, and players to your liking.

## Features

The game features the following improvements and changes to the original game:[2]

* Customizable teams: players are now able to choose team colors, emblems, player names, team cities and abilities
* Super abilities: players can use power-ups during the game
* Customizable playbook: players are able to choose the plays for each team's playbook
* Cutscenes: certain plays cause cinematic representations of the play

The game features Wi-Fi and wireless multiplayer, and utilizes the touch screen and stylus. The game also has updated music and sound effects.

## Reception

The game received a 7.7 rating from IGN.[6] It was also a nominee for Best Online Multiplayer Game at IGN's 2008 video game awards.
