Madden NFL 2001

"...doesn’t turn out to be all that real... a decent knowledge of football is required choose the correct plays... features all the current teams, players, and coaches... overall the AI in Madden is good... very little lag while playing Madden online..."

"...graphics in Madden are not ‘WOW’ material... I always felt like a spectator. I wasn’t immersed into the game... No internet multiplayer option..."

"The gameplay is pretty much what you'd expect from Madden. There aren't any revolutionary changes to how the game plays. Some areas are better some are worse. "

"The graphics turned out to be a mixed bag of highs and lows... Another mixed bag for audio folks... where are the sounds associated with big hits and bone crunching tackles?... computer has a knack of adjusting their formations..."

"Game statistics are more realistic than in the past, with higher quarterback completion ratings and fewer oddball results. Still, the stat screens needed work in the pre-final version of the game we reviewed. And, a feature that is supposed to allow you to sort players by category -- for example, yards rushing or quarterback rating -- by double-clicking on the column balked and was often nonfunctional."
