Madden NFL 2000 is a classic for a reason! Sure, the graphics are blocky by today's standards, but the gameplay is incredibly smooth and captures the feel of real football. Tackles feel satisfying, the passing is spot on, and there are tons of teams and game modes to explore. While it lacks the deep franchise mode of modern sports games, Madden 2000 delivers pure, fun, and nostalgic football action that'll make you miss the glory days of the N64.
The first game my mom bought my dad for his 64. I was 3 and I hated it. My mom says I was right, it sucked.
Yeah the lineman are huge and it’s too pixelated to see hardly anything, game’s an eyesore.
It was cool for the day
My first Madden and only PS1 Madden which is easily the franchise with the most hours played in my life
Games I Dislike That Everybody Else Likes
Look, this works - but not only are these not really my forte to begin with, but unless you have some nostalgic attachment there's no real reason to go back to this one when there's like 40 million others that have followed and improved upon it (Madden NFL 11 will most likely forever remain my favorite anyway). It's mildly diverting for about 20 minutes until it becomes vapid, playing this with friends is almost absolutely necessary in really wringing the best possible enjoyment out of it. But did the menus really have to be so needlessly complicated? What was wrong with the ease of access from the previous games? Plus - for some God-forsaken reason - the way the 'tutorial' plays out is really stupid, in a game with such a steep learning curve that seems like a crucial miss. The big, blocky football players are funny though - even if I still think the visuals from the previous games aged much more gracefully. But points go to a pretty awesome intro sequence with some gnarly sacks played out to an original Ludacris song about football or something (lmao) and a sweet digitized-sports-graph backdrop - that was cool. Better than all that came before it, but these old sports sims just rarely ever age that well - even in spite of how fun this can be with multiple people. Arcade mode is the way to play, even with the added cringe commentary.
