Wow. I bought this game along with the Playsation 2 at launch and there is only one word to describe it: DISAPPOINTING. This game looks okay, but the play control, frankly [is bad]. Just like all the other madden games, but with little improvements in the graphics department. This game doesn't even have CURVED LINES! All the "curved" lines seem jagged do to the lack of anti-aliasing. Even though in the commercial, it looks neat, but those clips are just the instant replays. Anyway, this game has nothing over Dreamcast's NFL2k1. 2k1 is soooo much better. It does have it's weaknesses, but not as much as this game. 2k1 has online play, curved lines, and it is easy ... to pick a play. I am not a sega loyalist, so this review is NOT biased. This game seems very rushed. If EA took a lot more time, this game will be very excellent next year. IS IT JUST ME OR DOES THE PS2 SEEM LIKE A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT??!! Oh well, believe what you want to, this is just my opinion.
NFL 2K1 is better!

One thing I have say is that the graghics on NHL 2K1 are better. The only thing they did for the glare on Madden is put a bright spot on it. On NFL 2K1 they made it so it would in real life by putting the reflection of the lights on the helmets. If i was you I would buy a Dreamcast and get NFL 2K1.
madden needs to shut up

i love this game but i cant rate it a six. loading is fast graphics are the best out of all the games on ps2 but the defenders get shaken and burned so easily it makes me wnat to puke. if you get at least five seconds to throw there is a man wide open every time. linebackers never cover wide open tight ends and half backs. the gameplay and controls are awesome.very easy game to learn.franchise mode is just breath taking. it is so ingenius.the game is not to easy and not to hard which is good.this isnt a big deal but the face masks are really wierd on some players.a couple of lineman on the ravens have little thin one bar masks like kikers. field goal kikin is excellent. but the commentatators need to shut up. madden offten says the same things over and over.giant flaw right here people. WAY TO MANY ONE HANDED CATCHES.need to fix it in next one. i highly recommend buying the next one and buying this one.
It really makes me mad that cullpepper is on the cover.randy moss makes him good:)
Um gust cant give it a bad rating

It is only missing the 2 minute drill, and the right roster. Just wait and buy Madden NFL 2002 this fall. But that doesn't mean this game isn't the best, it's just soon to be out of date.
I love real football, and now digital football too....

I have always despised sport games as they always seemed so pointless to me as they turn pale in comparison to the real thing. The realism that Madden brings to the table makes up for not actually picking up the pigskin. If you are a football fan this game is for you! It is engrossing to watch digitized players act just as their real life counter parts would. There are multiple options making it easy to learn the game. The graphics blow me away. This is a must have for all PS2 owners who are football fan
Does nobody else notice the flickering in the background?

I received this game two days before launch, so I waited out all night at Kmart to play it. I had super-high expectations. When I popped it in and started up the first game I couldn't believe my eyes as it panned across the Rams dome statdium. All of the fine lines in the background flicker and look wavy. Other games I have played (unreal tourney, nhl, and smugglers run), also have a problem with the crispness of the graphics, but Madden is by far the worst.
My other knock on Madden is that the gameplay is too slow. I love the fast action of NHL. Why can't Madden speed things up?
The best footbal game ever, bar none

This game deserves 10 stars. It is beyond any expectations anyone could have had. Not only is it classic Madden, but it is the best version yet, by far.
Stop reading and buy this game!

The first time I played this game, I was in shock how realistis it was. At one point my mom saw it and thought there was a football game on for real. Even though it is very realistic, it isn't too tough to play. If you get one PS2 game, this is it!
