MY MADDEN
Most of the settings featured in Madden NFL 2004 are self-explanatory. The others are listed
below.
EA SPORTS ™ BIO
EA SPORTS Bio is a new feature designed to reward you for playing EA SPORTS titles. Your EA
SPORTS Bio, a file shared between all EA SPORTS games via your hard disk, is a résumé that
tracks key accomplishments and time spent playing different titles in the EA SPORTS lineup.
v
The first time you select EA SPORTS BIO from the My Madden menu you are prompted
to create an EA SPORTS Bio. You are also prompted to save when you complete
accomplishments or reach a new gamer level (
‚
below).
EA SPORTS GAMER LEVELS
When you first create your EA SPORTS Bio, you start out as a Level 1 gamer. There are multiple
ways that you can earn credit toward a promotion to the next level.
EA SPORTS TITLES PLAYED
Every EA SPORTS title that you add to your EA SPORTS résumé gets you more credit toward the
next level gamer. Play more products and earn a higher-level rating—it’s as easy as that.
GAME TIME
Finally you get rewarded for all your loyalty and devotion to EA SPORTS. The more time you put
in, the faster you rise to the next level.
NUMBER OF GAMES PLAYED
Every game you play and complete gives you credit toward the next level. In addition,
winning games gives you additional bonus points toward your level.
REWARDS
When you reach a new level, you may unlock a game-specific reward. Some rewards are bigger
than others; it all depends on the level you achieve.
v
A level increase potentially unlocks rewards for all EA SPORTS titles in your Bio, regardless of
which title the level was achieved while playing.
