The 2002 version is closely based on the previous year's game , with almost the same menus and many of the same modes and options, but also several new features, including a redesigned kick meter and mulligans, allowing one to take back and replay a limited number of plays per game.
The included teams have been updated for the 2001 NFL season and include the 31 regular teams plus the 2002 expansion team, the Houston Texans, NFC and AFC all-star teams and two All-Madden teams (2000 and Super Bowl).
Exclusive to the PlayStation version are more than 90 classic NFL teams, 31 all-time franchise teams and the 6 NFL Europe teams.
The returning modes include Exhibition, Season, Franchise, Custom League, Tournament, Situation (Great Games is again only featured on PlayStation), and Two-Minute Drill (with an added Head-to-Head option, facing off two players with one playing offense and the other defense).
The Practice mode has been expanded to the Coaches Corner mode: the team practice option is the same as the previous year's practice while the new training mode is a tutorial that guides players through various plays by explaining when to use and how best to perform them.
A special mode exclusive to this version of the game is called Madden Classic.
It is a fully featured game-within-a-game that goes back to the early days of the series: regarding visuals, options, and menus, it is based on Madden 92 for Genesis , but features the teams and rosters of the current season.
The Madden Cards feature returns from the previous game.
Tokens to buy cards can be won by completing a number of challenges or through the training mode.
The card roster has been expanded from the previous year and now
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Madden NFL 2002 for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Madden NFL 2002 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 2001.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Madden NFL 2002, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
