Is Madden NFL 2002 still worth playing in 2026?

The first Madden on GameCube, this 2002 vintage lays the foundations of EA's American football sim on the console, with the full NFL licence, season rosters and management modes. Solid at launch, it now shows dated artificial intelligence, stiff presentation and gameplay largely surpassed by later entries. Its current interest is mostly historical. For a fan of the licence or someone curious about Madden's start on the machine, the title keeps a benchmark value.
