Features Defensive adjustments: Just like in the NFL, winning the battle is about dominating on the defensive side of the ball.

NFL Fever 2004 brings it hard with revised tackling and blocking systems, impressive animations, and lots of increased action. New offensive coordinator: Offensive play-calling can make the difference between a contender and a champion. NFL Fever 2004 makes it easy to dial up the best offensive plays with a new and more-intuitive play-calling interface. Other advancements on offense include trigger and "Read and Lead" passing, putting gamers right behind the center and allowing them to look off their receivers before going deep for six. Xbox Live: NFL Fever 2004 will team up once again with Xbox Live to offer football fans across the world the ultimate gridiron challenge. Building on its much-acclaimed online rookie season, the new version of NFL Fever will provide downloadable content, roster updates, updated player ratings, tournaments, and an all-new "Cheater Beater," destroying the hopes of less-honest opponents.

There will be animated coaches on the sidelines, and gamers should be on the lookout for situational advice from them. Coaches will analyze the game and provide insight that can make all the difference. Strength and conditioning: During the offseason, NFL Fever 2004 fine-tuned its already tight and responsive controls to better deliver the intense action-packed pace of NFL Football.
