Editorial Review:
The Madden series is by far the most popular NFL console-game franchise in North America. It is the game of choice among many active and former NFL players, and has been a mainstay on most gaming platforms for close to a decade. And this year's version for the PlayStation, Madden NFL 2001, is amazing--it's even better than the incredible Nintendo 64 version of the same name.
In terms of playability, EA Sports has added some nice new features. Players are rewarded with collectable in-game Madden Cards by performing certain tasks, which can be used to unlock secret game codes, players, stadiums, and legendary NFL teams. Also, you can trade those cards with friends using the PlayStation memory card. Enhancing the replayability of Madden NFL 2001 is a new two-minute drill feature that allows up to 10 players to compete for the highest score.
The game does have a couple of trouble areas. The CPU play isn't all that synched with the gameplay, resulting in some very strange calls and plays. John Madden's commentary is stocked with only a few phrases, which are used ad nauseam. While not perfect, the sound effects and crowd noises are still preferable to the whiny blips of the N64 version. --Todd Mowatt
Pros: - Collectable Madden Cards can be used to unlock secret game codes, players, stadiums, and teams
- New two-minute drill feature
Cons: - CPU sometimes makes very strange calls and plays
- Repetitive Madden phrases

It's ok but way too hard too figure out all of the details without the book.
Rating: - Mad About Madden!
Madden NFL 2001 is an excellent football game. If you like football, and you like playing it as a video game, you'll love the best game in the league. The gameplay is better than its competitor, 989 Sports, and I feel I can get into the game more. No cheerleader pictures, like on NFL GameDay, so you can stick to football. The different modes (Practice, 2-Minute Drill, etc) and Madden Cards (reward system for completing various tasks) help make this game a powerhouse. You won't be disappointed ... Read More
Rating: - Touchdown !
This game is the bomb! It has great plays, great graphics, and my favorite team (miami dolphins) is one of the best.The bad thing about this game is every once and a while it freezes. Than after a minute it comes back. But overall, this is a cool game.
Rating:  - one of the best games ive played
the game is great.the graphics arent that good but the good gameplay makes up for it.my favorite features are create a play,create a team and,Franchise mode.a hint in frachise mode is in the pre season chose the super bowl champs,runner up in the supper bowl,and chose the 3 divsion champs from the afc,or nfc so your rookie players gain experince even if the lose.any way this is a great game
Rating:  - MAJOR GLITCH RUINS BEST FOOTBALL GAME EVER PLAYED
FIRST OFF , I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT 90% OF THIS GAME IS EXCELLENT... NOW FOR THE OTHER 10%; THIS GAME HAS A VERY!!!! ANNOYING HABIT OF FREEZING UP WHILE PLAYING. I DONT MEAN "HERE AND THERE"; IT'S RATHER CONSISTANT..... LIKE EVERY 4TH QTR YOU'RE IN THE LEAD AND WHEN YOUR CPU OPPONENT SNAPS THE BALL THE QB HANGS ON TO THE BALL (WITHOUT SNAPPING) AND YOUR PLAYERS GO AFTER THE STATIONARY QB TO NO AVAIL... AT THIS POINT YOU CAN DO NOTHING TO "JAR" THE CPU TO CONTINUE... GAME OVER. YOU MUST QUIT IF YOU ... Read More
