This is a solid, in-depth racing game for all ages. You can also create your own players. Unfortunately, this game was rushed - and it really shows. Bugs, horrid game play and awful graphics make for a bad experience. The problems surface on the field, including the commentators reporting that a defensive player plays on the offensive team whenever a tackle is made.
Players look fat and goofy and seem to be missing animations.
Huge artificial intelligence problems exist as well, allowing a certain type of play to be used over and over again. Madden raised the bar for football on the PS2, and this game shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath. Rated for all ages. Let me stress the word sim, however, because if you prefer arcade-style basketball, you'll be driven nuts by this game's learning curve, particularly in shot precision and blocking fouls. Also, passing is a little too precise.
