(More customer reviews)I went out and bought QBC 2001 the other day and just sold it in on online auction.. Picked up Madden 2001 this morning and I LOVE IT. Before this I have been playing Madden 99 and there is a world of difference. Graphics are sharp, commentary is MUCH better, running game is a lot easier. And, the game still has the same 'Madden' controls that havent changed with time.. It makes playing a lot easier if you have played a Madden game before this one. From the few football games available on the N64, Madden is still tops. Don't waste your time with the others.

Considering its humble beginnings on the Sega Genesis, the Maddenseries has come a long way (and even moreyardage has been covered by the PlayStation2's inaugural scrimmage). Even withexpectations high, Madden NFL 2001 for the Nintendo 64 is very, verygood. This game looks better than the original NFL Quarterback Club--anearly standard in football visuals--and plays like the previous year's versionof Madden on the PlayStation.
EA Sports has added some new playability features, such as collectable MaddenCards for fulfilling certain tasks in the game. The Madden Cards can be tradedwith friends, using the Nintendo 64 memory card, and can be used to unlocksecret game codes, players, stadiums, and legendary NFL teams. The new two-minutedrill feature allows up to 10 players to compete for the highest score.
But Madden NFL 2001does have some trouble in a couple of areas. The CPUhas a problem with clock management when it is behind with time running out;sometimes it will fail to call a time-out and let the clock expire at the halfor at the end of the game. Madden himself sounds a little run down in this gameas he only has a few phrases and he says them over and over and over. The crowdnoise and the cheers are not very well done and can get annoying.
Despite its few flaws, pound for pound this is the best NFL football title evermade for the Nintendo 64. --Todd Mowatt
