    A total blast to play online.

    This is probably the most beautiful display of 3-D graphics you will find in any sports game to date. This is of course if your PC has a lot under the hood, especially a good video card.

    Great graphics, boring commentary, good sound effects, good gameplay with a few major problems in the game play and ability to run online leagues. I would only suggest this game if you plan to play the game online if you can overlook some of the stuff I mentioned.

    It's an okay, but unfulfilling experience that really could've and should've been much better.

    No difference [in gameplay] from last year's version, except in running. And even that needs more help.

    MN 2002 will wear out its welcome in short order if you have any demands on the game as a serious simulation of the sport. Most will want to move on to the current PS2 version of the game, which represents a year of design improvements that this dated port does not.

    Gameplay here packs about as much depth as a thimble, with an offensive mode that rewards you for playing a limited style of game that features nothing but long passes.

    Terrible running AI - guys fall down just touching a D player sometimes. WRs run out of bounds for no reason. QBs always underthrow deep Terrible running AI - guys fall down just touching a D player sometimes. WRs run out of bounds for no reason. QBs always underthrow deep balls so WRs have to run backwards to catch it - it bounces off the back of DBs repeatedly. Terrible AI. Pure suck.… Expand
