Game may have wear on case, disc and manual. Used condition. Madden NFL 2001 is the best football experience on the Nintendo 64. Hands down, no question, put a crown on it. The gameplay is smooth, with tight controls. There is a ton to do here with 8 modes, and if you have the Expansion Pak, Madden 2001 looks excellent and plays great. And 2002 is a classic which brings another competitive action packed title to the table. John Madden is back and, again, he's brought the entire NFL with him into your Nintendo 64 with Madden NFL 2001. The game includes the updated rosters you'd expect, but new this season is the addition of coaches on the sidelines, who often "encourage" the players and shout "helpful advice" out to the referees. Finer details for this version include wristbands, visors, facemasks, and turf tape--specific to what each player favors in the real NFL. Collisions now factor the weight and height of players, making for more realistic hits. EA has even gone to the trouble of replicating some of the touchdown-celebration dances and allows you to control even those moves.

The Nintendo version of the game includes the new two-minute drill, which allows up to 10 players to compete against each other via quick challenges that are scored for points. By completing certain tasks, players can collect and trade Madden in-game cards that will unlock hidden players, stadiums, and power-ups.Even with expectations high, Madden NFL 2001 for the Nintendo 64 is very, very good. This game looks better than the original NFL Quarterback Club--an early standard in football visuals--and plays like the previous year's version of Madden on the PlayStation.

EA Sports has added some new playability features, such as collectable Madden Cards for fulfilling certain tasks in the game. The Madden Cards can be traded with friends, using the Nintendo 64 memory card, and can be used to unlock secret game codes, players, stadiums, and legendary NFL teams. The new two-minute drill feature allows up to 10 players to compete for the highest score.

Pros: Best football game made for the Nintendo 64. Collectable Madden Cards can be used to unlock secret game codes, players, stadiums, and teams. New 2-minute drill feature 

Cons: Clock-management bug sometimes lets time expire at the half. Repetitive Madden phrases
