[edit] Cover Athlete
Daunte Culpepper, the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings was the Cover Athlete for the NFL 2002 game. Culpepper is considered to be a victim of the Madden curse after leading his team to 4-7 just one year after appearing of the cover.
[edit] Upgrade from 2001
The new faces and uniforms on PlayStation 2 look crisper. It's considered the best football game graphically at that time. There are new added things like the Hurry-up offense (two minute drill), a Training Mode hosted by John Madden, Franchise expansion in Franchise Mode, new cheerleader cards and new game modes like tournament and custom league. Most important though, the gameplay was heavily worked on, such as one-handed catches, pass defense, etc.
