Madden NFL 2000 for PlayStation 1

Pros: Great game play, easy to learn, sports fan's dream
Cons: none

Madden 2000 is without a shadow of a doubt the best football game available for the Playstation. My title is how John Madden describes the action on NFL Football each Sunday on television and when you play Madden 2000 you almost feel like you are...

Pros: Great graphics & sound, huge play selection list
Cons: Madden can get repetitive

I recently just picked up a Playstation 1, figuring I'd take advantage of the price drop off now that the PS2 is out. While browsing through Half.com I saw someone selling Madden NFL 2000 for only $10 so I figured I might as well. I love football games...

Pros: Great Control & Gameplay, Franchise Mode
Cons: Madden's In-Game Comments, As Usual

I can probably sum up my opinion on Madden 2000 by simply saying this: I see no need to go out and buy a Playstation 2 to play Madden 2001, and even if I did, I would probably still play Madden 2000 anyway. I can hear many jaws hitting the ground as I...

Pros: Great football game, graphics, gameplay ,CAREER mode
Cons: Career mode doesn't go on forever, no Hall of Fame

If you've read my previous reviews on some other products, I like running the team and making moves rather then playing the game itself. Now, I know most of you hardcore arcade gamers out there must think I'm nuts, but I just enjoy it more.

...

Pros: Great graphics, awesome hits
Cons: losing to your sons

I have enjoyed playing Playstation games with my two boys for a couple of years now.We are all big sports nuts in this family... so naturally we really enjoy the sport simulation games.

Madden 2000 has the best graphics for a football game...

Pros: Franchise mode, improved running game
Cons: Too many interceptions on both sides of the ball

Now just because this isn't a Dream Cast game doesn't mean that it isn't good. Everyone's new favorite football game is NFL 2K for the Dream Cast. I understand that the graphics are tremendous and it's a great first effort, but if there is a football...

Pros: Great graphics, tons of options
Cons: repetitive Maddenisms

I have been a long time Madden fan, every since the early Maddens on the old Genesis, and I must say that Madden 2000 is clearly the best ever. Football games are my favorite sports games, and everyone else who loves them knows that there are quite a...

Pros: Good gfx, realistic
Cons: Controls take a while to get used to

When I first played this game at a friends house, I was hooked. I couldn't put it down. Madden has a huge record of good football games. They all are voted for their realistic gameplay.

Lets start off with the graphics. I can say a lot...

Pros: everything
Cons: can not think of anything

Madden 2000 is definately the best football game that is on the maket at the present time. I also apply that any system, beyond playstation. I have played many other football games and I can not find one that even compares to this game. The plays are all...

Pros: Great Franchise Mode!
Cons: Simulating is poorly done, sometimes the worst team in the league beats the best!

Once again, Madden has shocked its customers, with its best video game yet! The graphics are detailed and great. The gameplay is amazing with 31 different playbooks, according to the team you choose. But the best feature that stuns everyone is the...

Pros: Fluid gameplay, juke moves, controlled running, breakaway speed
Cons: bad load time, freezes briefly between play, rosters need to be updated

Finally, a dope sim. Real players, smooth graphics, classic Madden gameplay, and more plays. This is the best football gane ever to hit the Playstation. The juke button is expanded - now you can juke left and right at your own control. The commentary...

Pros: graphics, hits, and franchise.
Cons: some of the gliches of the game

Every year another game of Madden comes out and every year it gets better and Madden 2000 is no exception. The players look more realistic, and the game play is better than ever. More players and more plays it is incredible. My favorite part of the...

Pros: Excellent franchise mode, innovative Madden Challenge system, play editor, minor aspects have been improved.
Cons: Announcing could use a little work; I'd like to hear a little more from Madden.

The Madden series of football games is the greatest series of football games for any platform. Games have tried to overcome Madden, but none have been able to. So, just what does Madden do for the new millenium? EA Sports managed to improve the series...

Pros: sick, fast fun
Cons: none

This game is one of the best conversions of this genre but in the first place, it has been one of the most consistent gaming brand in this "league"!The game itself for a first-timer is more user-friendly compared to the previous madden titles...

Pros: Good graphics
Cons: expensive

If you like to play football games then you should play this one. It has all of the NFL teams and you can play in different modes. There are also a lot of moves in this game. One of the new things in this game is that you can play with the NFC or the...

Pros: Is that the football, or a helmet? Big hits!!!
Cons: You better own more than one memory card!

It must be tough being the greatest football game, EVER! This game is so great that I find it hard to expel on what makes it great. Great graphics, great AI, great playability, GREAT! Now, I will give you a few reasons why this is the mink of...

Pros: Great graphics, realistic abilities, seasons
Cons: None

A good friend of mine owns a Playstation and recently bought Madden NFL 2000. I almost wish that he would not have, since we have been playing non-stop for weeks now. We love it, and the more we play, the more we want to play. We have played seasons,...

Pros: EXCELENT GAME!!!!!!!!
Cons: NONE

This game is the best!.If you dont have it go and get it!I have played many sports games they ussually get boring by the end of the month.This game i had since it came out and its still they best sports game that i ever played.it features are...

Pros: Graphics, Modes, Gameplay, Multiplayer Game, Madden Challenge, Commentary
Cons: Menu navigating (Sometimes)

You know, this game rules. I MUST be the biggest sports game fan in the world, because 18 of my 23 PlayStation games are sports, counting wrestling. Madden is soooooooo awesome, and from me, that means a lot, because nothing in the sports category would...

Pros: CLASSIC TEAMS, FRANCHISE MODE
Cons: slow loading

Madden 2000 is the best football game out on the market. He had put out great games year after year and continues this year. The franchise mode has been extended so you can now own a team for up to 30 years compared to 10 in the last game. This feature...

Pros: Very realistic and fun to play.
Cons: Takes up almost a whole memory card to save.

Madden 2000 is the best football game you can buy for playstation. Madden is known for putting out great games year after year and this is the best one yet. You can play a franchise, season, exhibiton, practice plays, tournaments, situation games or a...

Pros: yes
Cons: no

I've been a HUGE FAN of John Madden Football for years. Ever since Madden '92 came out for sega it's all I ever buy. It's come a long way over the years. My favorite option in Madden 2000 are the hundreds of secret codes used. You can jump high, run...

Pros: state of the art graphics, great gameplay, lots of new features
Cons: i love this game! i can't think of any cons whatsoever

Madden 99 blew me away with its stunning graphics and easy gameplay. I didn't think they could improve this game very much from last year, but they proved me wrong once again. I have always been a Madden fan but this years edition has made me decide to...

Pros: Just about everything
Cons: Football isn't the world's most exciting video game sport. If this was all the options in baseball, it would be king

Madden 2000 is football at its best, as I already said. It is an all-around great game for any football fan who wants a realistic yet arcadish style game. Since Madden came out in 1992 with a video game series, they've had an empire. Even though...

Pros: The Best Sports Game Ever
Cons: Absolutely None

If you want excitement, get this game. This has state of the art graphics with excellent game play. Play franchise mode with any of the NFL teams for up to 30 seasons. Trade players and draft picks to make your self the best. Also, watch your players...

Pros: Good overall look, improved control over previous years
Cons: somewhat silly looking graphics

"Hello, Pat Summerall and John Madden here for Madden NFL 2000..." Enter swing music here. Roll the opening video. Get the Madden picture on queue. That's it. In the latest version of this long-running series, there are a few things that...

Pros: Great end of season system
Cons: Not enough new names for players

This is by far the best Madden football game yet. I purchased this game some time ago and I'm still playing it. This one has TONS of stats that are for both current and past years.

What sets the Madden football game apart from all the others...

Pros: Good Features
Cons: Bad Graphics

I was bored one weekend so I thought I would rent Madden 2000, considering how good Madden '99 was. Well lets just say, I wish I hadn't wasted my money on that rental. I went in and started a franchise on the game because that is one of the best things...

Pros: Just an awesome all around game
Cons: Maddens commentary gets a little annoying

Madden 2000 is the best football game created for Playstation. The game play is realistic, the graphics are awesome, and there are a ton of new moves. The only bad thing about the game is that Maddens commentary gets a little old after a while.
...

Pros: Endless fun
Cons: you won't realize it has been 3 hours

While being an admitted stickler for details in sports games, Madden 2000 impressed me with its accuracy. The excellent gameplay remained essentially as the year before (except for minor variations such as kicking), but the franchise mode (which is my...

Pros: Continuosly come up with new things each year
Cons: Maybe running out of ideas??

Once again, EA sports is back for another year of football with "Madden 2000". What can I say...THEY DONE DONE IT AGAIN!!!
"2000" is once again the most dominant football game on the market and arguably the most impressive all...

Pros: Great playability
Cons: Some past cliches not yet resolved

This game is much improved from past versions. I like the playability of the game and the franchise mode is a definite winner. I'm on my 5th year into the franchise mode with the Steelers and I've already had numerous retirements and key player...

Pros: franchise mode, advanced AI
Cons: wish it would load faster between segments

I've been hooked on Madden football since the Sega Genesis Stone Ages and have continued with my addiction through the 2000 edition. EA Sports and MADDEN have created such a quality franchise it is easy to see how such a strong brand loyalty is...

Pros: speed, graphics
Cons: not much

Although I have only had this game for three days now. It only took about 20 seconds to impress me it loads up so much faster than 98 or 99 and the clarity of the graphics are phenominal. almost all the things that needed improvement have been fixed....

Pros: The Playability of the Game
Cons: Trade restrictions

Clearly Electronic Arts attempts to make major changes to their games once every 3-4 years in a series. For instance, Madden98 was a sharp departure in style and "playability" than 97. Madden2000 is not a ground breaking change to the Madden...

Pros: Excellent replay value; multiple modes; Barry Sanders
Cons: Sideline graphics could be better; sound could be improved

To summarize the rest of this review: this game has everything you've ever loved about the Madden series, with improvements. While my personal favorite aspect of this game is that Barry Sanders isn't retired, there are a ton of little extras and...

Pros: Awesome Graphics
Cons: Next Years is going to be better

I went out and bought Madden 2000 right as it came out. I would say that it is 100% better than Madden '99. I have been buying Maddens football games since 1996, and I personally think that this is there greatest achievment. The graphics on this game...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Arcade mode could have been better

Madden 2000 is without a doubt, the best football game I have ever played. It has good graphics, tons of options, and numerous game modes to play.
I'll start with the options. You can set all the basics (length of quarters, difficulty,...

Pros: create own plays
Cons: gets old

I bought this game when it first came out and was expecting it to be a great game since nearly every other madden game was. Well the game was one of the best football games that i have ever played. It is filled new option to make the game better in a lot...

Pros: updated franchise mode, realistic graphics
Cons: can't play this game for a living

This may be the best football game on the market. The control is smooth and the graphics are realistic. I remember in the Temco Bowl era the one thing that bothered me was that everyone looked the same. But in Madden 2000 the lineman are huge and the...

Pros: great graphics,personalities,life like
Cons: semi-slow loading time

I recently bought this game and I am amazed with the turnout. The graphics are outstanding and the hitting, catches, throws and personalities are unbelievably great. I highly recommend this game. The two player cooperative mode and battle mode is...

Pros: The gameplay and options
Cons: Graphics and controls are hard to understand at times.

This is one good football game. I didn't play Madden '99 but I did play Madden '98 and it was a pretty good game. There is only a couple of problems that I saw. One: The graphics, as usual with EA Sports, were just plain par. They weren't eye...

Pros: fun as hell
Cons: not up to date

Like my title says this is the best football game for playstation yet. Most of the players are up to date and they actually represent the actual skill as in real life.

I do have a complaint though. when madden talks they don't have him be...

Pros: Realistic Game Play
Cons: Madden and Summerall are repetitive

EA Sports and John Madden come out with their most realistic football game ever. Madden 2000 has many features which put you the player in the driver' s seat. It has your typical modes like: Exhibition, Season, and Tournament, but the feature that...

Pros: realistic, many options, can create plays
Cons: games can be too long

For the past four years, my friends and I have participated in a yearly madden bowl. This game, played the afternoon of Superbowl Sunday, pits the best madden player against the best madden player. The games are not for all about pride. The intensity...

Pros: Great total control, Awesome game play, Innovative Madden Challenge System
Cons: Madden's lousy "color commentary"

If you are looking for a football game that will meet your desires for fun, action, and complete control look no further. Madden and EA Sports have proven why they are the best when it comes to sports games and football in particular. I bought this...

Pros: Larger players, More realistic weather conditions
Cons: Gameplay not as fast as you would expect

I have been a die-hard Madden enthusiast since the early 90's when Madden first came out. The options and graphics that the game gives you are very good while the actual gameplay does leave a little to be desired. It is nice being able to have such a...

Pros: outstanding graphics, high speed, big hits
Cons: unable to block kicks, recover onsides

Madden 2000 has improved on what I didn't think could get better. Madden 99 was extreme, fast paced and great to play against someone. 2000 blows it away. I've never seen such good graphics on a game that wasn't played on a computer. The players are...

Pros: Endless Fun
Cons: You won't realize it has been 3 or 4 hours

While being an admitted stickler for details in sports games, Madden 2000 impressed me with its accuracy. The excellent gameplay remained essentially as the year before (except for minor variations such as kicking), but the franchise mode (which is my...

Pros: Unbelievable reality
Cons: None

Simply the greatest football video game ever produced. The reality of Madden 2000 overshadows any other video game on the PlayStation consule. Who's the greatest team of all time? Pit the 1972 Dolphins against the 1985 Bears. Matchup Jim Brown...

Pros: New Features
Cons: control and passing

Madden 2000 comes back in 2000 with another smashing hit. Upgraded a lot from the past year improving on game play. Madden has a situation mode that matches up classic game situations where you can change the outcome. Also 30 year franchises with a...

Pros: 3-D
Cons: hard passing function

This is probably the best Playstation game ever. this game has it all its 3-D all of the players are accurate. the only thing that i do not like about this game is that it is soo hard to complete a pass you have to be right on time and if you are not...

Pros: Enhanced franchise options
Cons: none

The improved graphics, complete player control, and the ability to establish a more user friendly passing game are the best improvements with the Madden 2K. I enjoyed 99, but 40% of the time I passed to a receiver that had a rating above 90 the ball was...

Pros: As close to the real thing as you can get
Cons: Hard to kick onsides, & takes too long to start

This is truly the king of all football games. Those of you who played Madden 99 will agree that the guys at EA Sports did their homework. It is now much simpler to substitute players, and the playbooks are a lot easier to understand. My only complaints...

Pros: better than the older madden games
Cons: nothing

Madden 2000
I'm 11 years old and I have lots of experience playing playstation games.

Pros: graphics, create players(dynasty)
Cons: player editor(franchise), players on correct teams

I think that Madden NFL 2000 is the best football game that I have ever played. It is very realistic and allows you to feel like you are inside the game. The graphics are much better than 99 and there are many new additions to the game that I really...

Pros: perfect - best Madden ever !
Cons: not enough stats for my liking

This is by far the best Madden I have ever owned, and I have owned every one. It is definitely the best of all Playstation football games. It is very realistic, and both the computer and head to head is right on the money. The hot reads on blitzes...

Pros: Everything you need in a game
Cons: I think the play editor could be a little better

The Speed and Power of NFL Football.

This game has lightning fast moves and breakaway speed for bigger plays. Breakable wrap tackles, Gang up Tackles, Diving catches, and more. Unlock secret codes by answer trivia questions. Multiplayer mode...

Pros: Just about everything
Cons: Hard to get sacks and harder to complete passes than last year's

Madden 2000 is by far the best football game on the market for Playstation. The game is becoming more and more real every year. Madden has incredible graphics, really fun gameplay, and almost all the options you can think of. Like most games these...

This is the best football game made ever.

Real extreme hits.

Best graphics in any playstation game.

Makes you feel like your there.
This game is realalistic. You have a salary cap.
They have the new Browns in...

If you like football games, take yourself down to the nearest video game store and get this one! Madden 2000 has a bunch of new features that make the game more entertaining. The added features include: create a player, season, madden challenge, and...

Pros: Better play control, Franchise mode
Cons: Too easy to run, too hard to pass

It had been a couple years since I bought a Madden Football game, and I figured I was due for a new one-so I went out and bought Madden NFL 2000 for PSX. It's a good game, but there are some very annoying aspects to it.
First the good. The play...

Pros: everything about it...terrific game!
Cons: very few and not noticeable

this game alone started many new ideas about gaming in general. because of this game, i now enjoy the sport of football a lot more. not only that, but i enjoy football on playstation a lot more. this game has everything you could ask a football game...

Pros: Arcade Fun
Cons: Not a sim football game, strategy falls short

I have always thought video games were for kids until I discovered sports games. I have been an avid player of football games since the very first Madden. Almost all of them except the 95, 97, and 98 versions have been a lot of fun...When I saw Madden...

Pros: just plain fun.
Cons: none.

I love playing PlayStation, I admit. But, I really love this game. I could not stop playing once I purchased it, for, I mention, a nice price of $29. The gameplay is great. The players can be controlled, the plays can be chosen, and as you get better...

Pros: Great Graphics, details as well as affordable price.
Cons: Playstation will not be around that much longer. SORRY!

This game has it all folks. Great graphics (at least for a playstation), solid AI, and holes that open up as you try a running play. There are breakaways, but you cannot stick with 1 play and have it work for you over and over. The defense is set up...

Pros: so many options to chose from
Cons: more taunts

i thought madden 2000 was the best football game overall. it has a lot more players so your always guessing what the other player is trying to do you even surprise your self. the images and sounds are the best of any sports game, the day i rented it i...

Pros: good
Cons: good

The thing I like about this game is its degree of difficulty. It is very hard to get a TD. I love difficulty. That makes it fun to play because you have to learn and master it before you can just play it.

The moves are very realist. They have...

Pros: Breathtaking graphics! Truly impressive!!
Cons: Scoring a little too easy

Needless to say I was excited to finally get a look at the playstation 2's highly hyped system. Being a fan of EA sports products Madden 2000 was a natural addition. I had heard it was supposed to be amazing graphics, but we've all heard about new...

Pros: Franchise mode, great graphics
Cons: long load times

Once again EA sports puts out another great Madden game, right when you think 989 sports might beat out Madden with there Gameday....madden just slames them down. The best thing about Madden in my opinion, is the franchise mode, i'm a big simulation...

Pros: Great game
Cons: none that I can think of

Madden 2000 for the Sony Playstation is one fine football game. With every football to choose from, the game provides hours of fun. As always you can have a franchise and play a season with them against other teams. What make this such a good game is...

Pros: graphics hits

Pros: Decent Graphics and new players
Cons: Too much money

This Super Bowl Sunday I was over at my friends house from Sunday night to Monday morning. He rented Madden 2000 for his Playstation so we could play all night, and to say the least I was a little disapointed. I expected the graphics to be really good...

Pros: Extreme!
Cons: Wanna get hooked?

Most of the features have been covered on this great game. Just wanted to include a testament to what a great game - not graphics, or sound, but GAME - Madden 2K is.

3rd-and-long, third quarter, my own 40. Vikings. In a three wide receiver...

Pros: Depth, Game play
Cons: Game play

This game was amazingly different then its predecessors. However, it does lack the game play of some others. I believe that the Microsoft line has them beaten in this regard.
The greatest advantage is the ability to run a franchise. To take a team...

Pros: fun, and good graphics
Cons: better sound

Wow Ea Sports did it again, with Madden 2000. I really liked this game more then I liked the '99 version. The graphics on the game really improved every year. I purchased this game cause I knew that Madden would have the best football game in the year...

Pros: Franchise mode, fantasy draft.
Cons: Feezes often.

Madden 2000 was the best football game i have ever played, untill NFL2K came out. Madden has great gameplay, with the great franchise mode you could play hours on end. Madden has decent graphics, while it does tend to become frozen alot. I think that...

Pros: Drafts at end of season
Cons: Not Much

This is the ultimate football game every made. From the first to the last. Forget about Blitz and all those other wanna be's. I especially like the season mode of this game. After you finish your first season, you can trade and draft new players for...

Pros: graphics, gameplay
Cons: none really

Maddden 2000 is simply awesome!!! The gameplay, the graphics, the controls, everything is excellent. The franchise mode had me sitting at my Playstaion for hours and hours trying to complete 30 seasons worth. The graphics are way more advanced that last...

Pros: Great excitement and players to chose from and long time spand of teams.
Cons: Needs more touchdown dances(joking)Not realistic enough.

Freight train going north bound on a southbound freeway!!

I have played this game against all my friends and it is always close. I own the game but somehow they come close to beating me. This is my favorite game on playstation and when I got...

Pros: You can't stop;never for the shelf
Cons: Game freezes sometimes when using controller quickly

This is still the best football game and love creating players in franchise mode for free agency and drafting and making contract deals. Tip; some teams will give up all their draft choices for a fair fullback!
