Editorial Review: The Madden series is the grandfather of NFL-licensed video games, and Madden NFL 2000 marks the 10th anniversary of this gaming franchise. Keep in mind, this is not your father's Sega Genesis game, so casual gamers will be happier playing NFL Blitz 2000. However, for the football simulation nut, this game delivers even more than did Madden 99.
New additions to the fine Madden 99 game include faster yet less-detailed graphics, smoother animation, and additional onscreen treats such as goalpost nets, yard markers, and sidelines filled with coaches and teammates. One of the greatest new features is the hot route option, enabling players to change individual receiver routes at the line of scrimmage--it's like an audible, but doesn't require changing the entire play. More goals beyond just winning are here in the form of the Madden Challenge, giving players access to hidden stadiums and other goodies for successfully completing a series of increasingly difficult tasks, such as 30-plus yard receptions or a having a running back rush for over 100 yards in a game.
The artificial intelligence (AI) is still as slick as ever, but this game is best when played in two-player mode. Play-by-play commentary has been expanded for this game, but remains a bit sparse. A word of warning: the arcade mode is still pretty heavy on simulations, so only veterans or players who enjoy a steep learning curve need apply. --Jeff Young
Pros:
The hot routes option adds more depth of control
Faster graphics keep the game moving along
Improved running game makes for more balance between passing and running
Cons:
New player graphics are not very smooth
Controls and play selection are tough to learn for novice gamers

Rating: - Comparable , maybe better than Playstation!??
A gift for my husband...he felt the quality was much better than our PS '99 Madden game. These games change so quickly though and now he is already looking at Madden2003 (or is it '04?!) Excellent quality, better plays, a good choice (if you can find it anywhere now!?)

if you are a football game fan you will love madden 2000. whith awsome graphics and extreme gameplay it will blow you away
Rating: - Good Game, not Great
Madden 2000 is probably the best N64 game I have, but it doesn't compare to the new PS2 games. It has above average graphics, and plays quite well. It is the best N64 football game I have played but doesn't make 5stars because its not PS2, however its the best for N64.
Rating: - Terrible!!!!
When i first bought this game i thought that this was going to be fun. But when i got home i couldnt get the controls at all!Belive me that when I was playing this game it took me at least 10 minutes just to figure out how to pass!!! I urge you if you are looking for a football game please consier any of the NFL Blitz titles. The only good part about this game was the price (...). I hope that my review was helpful to you

I thought Madden 2000 was really confusing.The controls are hard. This game is horrible for people who don't like football video games or who have never played them.
