Bad music, empty stadiums, robotic players and referees all make for a less than satisfying NFL experience. 5.0 Graphics Nothing special. The players are decent at a distance, but really show their flaws up close. Some pretty bad textures floating around, too. 6.0 Sound Repetitive commentary gets old right away.
Sound effects are bland and barely audible over the drone of the crowd.
5.0 Gameplay Better than last year, but both the running and passing games are still poor. Zooming and panning cameras cause some serious framerate issues. If you're able to get past the other flaws, you can draft your team and play a few seasons. Maybe even go for a historical simulation. QB Club 2001 is marginally better than last year's game, and that just doesn't cut it.
