I acquired a used **Madden 2003** PS2 game through a pawn shop today but it didn’t come with any instructions. The guy gave me a break because of it but I would like to have some for reference. I tried searching tonight on Yahoo but I couldn’t come up with any. How can I locate a copy of the instructions? Any idea?

thanks!

Try [www.gamefaqs.com](http://www.gamefaqs.com).

Many of the guides will go over controls and such at the beginning of the document.

Madden 2003 has a button-mapping setup screen, you can simply turn on the game, go to that screen, and copy them down as well.

They also show the button functions during the loading screens, as I’m guessing you have noticed by now.
