            Madden NFL 2001 is an American football video game. It is the third in the Madden NFL series to include an NFL player, Tennessee Titans running back Eddie George, on its cover (the first being Madden NFL '95, which featured Erik Williams and Karl Wilson along with Madden himself). It is also the first game in the Madden NFL series to appear on the PlayStation 2 game console. This is the first Madden game to feature NFL Europe teams. For PC, the game was for Windows 95 and 98, for Windows 7 and 8 and possibly 10, setting the compatibility to 98 / ME or Windows XP may help but for 32 bit computers setting one of the graphical settings to 16 bit makes the game crash after 7 minutes. Setting both graphic settings to 32 bit helps.

            Features

            Madden NFL 2001 includes several customizable modes. Players have the ability to create a play, create a player, run a franchise, and collect Madden Cards, allowing players to perform certain actions during gameplay (for example, adding 5th downs, or limiting the CPU-controlled team to 3rd downs). The cards can also alter individual player ratings, unlock special stadiums, and unlock Hall of Fame and All-Madden teams.

            The best teams in the game overall were the Jacksonville Jaguars and the St. Louis Rams with a score of 95. The worst team in the game overall was the San Diego Chargers with the score of 70. The best offense in the game belongs to the St. Louis Rams with the score of 95. A 3 way tie for the best defense in the game belongs to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Baltimore Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars with scores of 95. The best special teams in the game belongs to the Denver Broncos with the score of 95.

            The game also contains 35 games that unlocks the additional teams and stadiums.

            Teams and Stadiums

            Madden NFL 2001 comes with over 60 teams and over 40 stadiums. Most of the teams and stadiums are fictional like the Mummies and the Marshalls. Each fictional team has its unique type of player [for instance the mummies players would be mummies, and the marshalls players would be actual cowboys]. Fictional Stadiums are like Hot Stove Stadium for example. The list however is extensive and Madden NFL 2001 has the most teams ever in the Madden series with over 120 teams. Only about 60 of those 120-something teams will be featured in this list cause the other teams are just the teams of the past era's and decade [like the '93 Bills for example]
