    Fun, but not as good as Madden. The AI is too easy on the "Rookie" level and too hard on the "Veteran" level to a fault--it makes you drop passes by the handful on the Veteran level, for example. The penalty calling is too simplistic as well--just how many offsides can be called during a game? And did the developers ever hear of "Holding"? Lastly, why are the Dynast games only limited to Fun, but not as good as Madden.

    Awesome game, fun, unique, can play w/ normal nfl teams or some fun made up ones(which are amazingly cool), also can make your own team, graphics are great and the playBOOK cannot be topped, good control of any offensive player during multiplayer, only a nine cuz create a player is sorta goofy w/ how you can only make them 82 or some thing like that. great game, better than madden 02, not Awesome game, fun, unique, can play w/ normal nfl teams or some fun made up ones(which are amazingly cool), also can make your own team, graphics are great and the playBOOK cannot be topped, good control of any offensive player during multiplayer, only a nine cuz create a player is sorta goofy w/ how you can only make them 82 or some thing like that. great game, better than madden 02, not 01, but definitely better than almost all other maddens until 02.… Expand

    Surprisingly, the running game – usually the bane of first-time developers – is absolutely top-notch. [Jan 2002, p.82]

    It is a breath of fresh air for football fans that enjoy Madden, but are looking for something more innovative and different...[It's] better than "Madden NFL 2002" on the Xbox!
