John Madden is back and, again, he's brought the entire NFL with him into your computer with Madden NFL 2001. The game includes the updated rosters you would expect, but new this season is the addition of coaches on the sidelines to give you specialised advice. They also often "encourage" the players and shout out "helpful advice" to the referees. Finer details for this version include wristbands, visors, face masks and turf tape--specific to what each player favours 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 taunts of real players.
The game also features new audio and play-by-play recorded by Madden and broadcast partner Pat Summerall. Best of all, the online play feature allows you to undergo an entire season online, comparing your ranking to other players, or participate in EA-sponsored tournaments.
