Madden NFL 2001 — About this game
Madden NFL 2001 ties on-field decisions to several longer goals. Call plays, adjust to the opposing formation and choose between a lob and a bullet pass as receivers break open. Two-Minute Drill turns quick play into a points challenge, while Madden Challenges award tokens for cards that unlock players, stadiums and power-ups. Cards can also be traded or risked. Season follows the schedule; Franchise offers up to thirty seasons of coaching and off-season work, including contracts, trades, draft picks and free agents. Practice and a separate One-Button option offer ways to learn before committing to those campaigns.
