About Madden NFL 2001
Madden NFL 2001 for the Game Boy Color represents a shift in publisher to Electronic Arts, with development handled by 3d6 Games. Its content is based on the professional football league's 2000 season, including accurate team and player data.
Available modes allow for single matches, a full season, and postseason competition. A notable addition is the support for two players to compete using a link cable. The visual presentation uses an overhead two dimensional perspective that was enhanced for this release.
Core football systems are present, such as an extensive selection of plays, the ability to call audibles, and the management of injuries and roster changes. Statistical tracking is detailed, and a feature enables quarterbacks to deliver pre snap verbal calls.
