The Madden series of American football games has long been the market leader and with the eleventh installment of this sporting classic released this fall, the best just got much better. Madden NFL 2001 is available on Playstation, PC, Nintendo 64 and for the first time this year, on Playstation 2. While each annual addition to the Madden series has boasted a collection of new features, Madden NFL 2001 offers more than ever and surely presents a strong case for being considered the best American football game of all-time. Player graphics are much more detailed than in previous years. The level of player detail is incredible.
Players come complete with specific accessories like elbow pads, turf tape, visors and face-masks.
If your favourite wide receiver likes to tape his left arm from wrist to elbow, rest assured he will dress just that way in Madden NFL 2001. Bringing the game to life - EA has added dozens of animations that bring the game to life, from coaches and cheerleaders on the sidelines to personalised end zone celebrations that would make John Travolta and Michael Jackson sit up and take notice. For the first time ever in a football video game, all members of the NFL Coaches Club appear in the game, shouting advice from the sidelines as well as arguing with the officials when penalty flags are thrown. The coaches come complete with their own signature playbooks, coaching styles and voices. Offensively, quarterbacks can now tuck the ball away and run on passing plays, even when they are still behind the line of scrimmage.
