+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- AMD and nVidia Geforce2
If you have an AMD K7 processor (Athlon or Duron) with a nVidia Geforce2 video
card and experience slow performance, you'll need to install the AGP Miniport
Driver from AMD. Also get the updated IDE Bus Master Driver, and the AMD IRQ
Driver.
Amd.com

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- Slow load times on Windows 2000
If you are experiencing slow load times and running on Windows 2000, it is
recommended that you reinstall the game using custom install with everything
selected.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- MP3 File Support
Madden NFL(tm) 2002 supports the MP3 music format. There is a folder named
"music" in the Madden NFL 2002 directory where you installed the game on your
hard drive. Simply place your MP3 files into this directory and they will play
in Madden's front-end interface. To select the MP3 file that you want hear, go
to the System Settings - Audio screen and toggle through the "Music Selection"
until you find the MP3 you want to hear.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- Coverage Audibles
Coverage audibles allow you to change the logic of the corner backs at the line
of scrimmage. To use coverage audibles, press button 4 before the ball is
snapped. There are three levels of coverage audibles:
1) The first puts the corner backs into bump and run. (Jam the receiver at the
line for tight coverage)
2) The second puts the corner backs into loose coverage. (Drop back 5-7 yards
and play under the receiver)
3) The third puts the corner backs into the original play logic.
4) Cancels.

- Touch Passing(tm)
Touch Passing(tm) gives you the ability to lob or throw a bullet pass. With
the Pass Icons up, lightly tap the pass button (1, 2, 3, 5, or 6 button) to do
a lob pass, or hold the pass button (1, 2, 3, 5, or 6 button) down to do a
bullet pass. Lob passes are good in single man-to-man coverage for deep
passes. Bullet passes are good for short passes in the middle of the field or
the flats.

- Man In Motion
Man In Motion is used on offense to change the formation shape and confuse the
defense. While on offense at the line of scrimmage, press up and down to
highlight the player you want to put in motion. Then press left or right on the
D-Pad to send that receiver in motion.

- Hot Routes
Hot Routes are used to change the route that a receiver will run during a pass
play. While on offense at the line of scrimmage, press button 4, then press the
button of the receiver you want to change the route for. Then press up, down,
left, or right to change that receiver's route.
Left - 5yd left out
Right - 5yd right out
Up - Streak
Down - 5yd curl
R1 (Button 5) - Block left
R2 (Button 6) - Block right

- Frame Rate
Frame rate will vary depending on your system. To increase the frame rate, turn
the system settings down. The lower the settings, the faster the frame rate
will be. The high settings should only be used if your system is a Pentium III
500MHz or faster. Try turning these options down or off to increase
performance:
1) Player Detail - This will make a big difference on any card.
2) Player Shadows - This will also make a big difference on any card.
3) Stadium Detail - Only use this setting if your card supports T&L.
4) Sideline Objects - This will make a big difference on any card and
will make very little difference in the way the game looks.

- High Resolution Support
The option of 1024x768, 1280x960 and 1600x1200 resolutions should only be used
on high-end systems. These settings require a great deal of resources. Only
high-end systems are recommended with Direct3D and software acceleration for
higher resolutions, anything less will result in poor performance. The first
time the game runs, it will detect if your hardware is capable of these high
resolutions, if not, the option will not be available to you in-game.

- 32-bit Color
Selecting 32-bit color will cause a huge performance decrease on older video
cards. Use 16-bit color options if you find that you are getting slow frame
rates or graphical problems. Graphical problems range from players not having
textures to corrupted textures on in-game banners.
