Madden NFL 2000

Madden NFL 2000 for the Game Boy Color marks the series' return to handhelds after a three year absence. While other platforms had moved to 3D, this version employs a sprite based 2D presentation with a top down perspective of the field.

The game's content reflects the 1999 NFL season, including accurate team and player data. Multiple modes are available, from single Exhibition or Sudden Death matches to extended Full Seasons and Playoffs, with progress tracked via password saves.

Gameplay systems incorporate features common to the franchise, such as player injuries, substitutions, and audibles. The playbook contains numerous standard formations alongside trick plays like fake field goals. Players can also manage detailed statistics and control conditions like weather and game time.
