🎮 Play Madden NFL 2001 (USA) Online (Game Boy Color)

Madden NFL 2001 brings authentic 11-on-11 American football to the Game Boy Color. Released in 2000 by EA Sports, this classic handheld entry features full NFL rosters, comprehensive playbooks, and multiple game modes including exhibition matches and a full season campaign.

How to Play

Your objective is to outscore your opponent by driving down the field for touchdowns or field goals. Use the Arrow keys to move your players and navigate the playcalling menus. On offense, press X to snap the ball or pass to the highlighted receiver, and use Z for special moves like hurdles or stiff arms. On defense, X switches your control to the player closest to the ball, while Z executes diving tackles. Press Enter to pause the game.

Tips

• Focus on establishing a strong running game early to control the clock and set up easier passing opportunities.
• When on defense, manually taking control of a lineman to rush the quarterback can often disrupt the AI’s timing more effectively than letting the computer handle the pass rush.
