What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"...the team at Konami has cleaned up several bugs and taken a virtually unplayable game and given it hope to compete with the big boys at EA, 989, and Sega."
"The game itself isn't a bad football game, but it certainly isn't a good one. It basically comes down to this: there is absolutely no reason to buy this game as long as Madden 2002 is available, because that game is simply the better football title."
"Before every snap, the camera will rotate and show cinematic views of the huddle, and the players walking up to the line. Players will become particularly vivacious after big plays, celebrating by performing summersaults or stomping their chest."
"The game's ESPN license can't hide the fact that NFL Primetime has slippery controls and flawed AI, which ultimately translates to a mediocre NFL simulation."
"The gameplay is more of a faster-paced arcade style more like Sega's NFL 2K series than EA Sports' Madden. The players respond quickly to your controller motions and things like speed bursts, hurdles, dives, jumps, stiff arms, and jukes are done almost instantaneously when you press the corresponding button."
