Madden NFL 2001 is the best football game I
have yet played. One of the big things in this game is how realistic it
actually is. If a real-life player has taped hands or a visor, he will in
this game too. The physics have changed and are very realistic. Weight now has a
major effect on whether or not you can tackle a man. Coaches will cheer on the
team and even argue with the refs if necessary.
John Madden and Pat Summerall commentate the
games and they do a great job of it in fact. They are very accurate and stay
with every play.
Madden NFL 2001 also added a great new
feature that will come in handy. Say your defense lines up expecting a run, then
the offensive lines up for a pass. With the tap of two buttons, your defense
will prepare for a task. This gets very useful.
There are some glitches, however. A stadium
might twitch every now and and then. While it is annoying, it isn't serious.
Also, all side-lines players have the same number. This also doesn't really
matter that much.
This is the greatest football game yet, I
just can't wait for the PS2 version.
