For this installment in the series, Acclaim farmed out NFL Quarterback Club 2001's design to High Voltage Software--the same group that made the stellar All-Star Baseball 2001 that Acclaim released earlier this year. This year's game will leave a much sweeter taste in the mouth of anyone who purchased the sour NFL Quarterback Club 2000. The player models have been improved, the artificial intelligence has been reworked, and the game generally looks better and plays well. The biggest improvements to this year's QB Club were those made in the passing game. Previously, the ball was pretty much impossible to catch, but now catching is basically automatic once it comes down in the receiver's vicinity. Even better, there aren't any buttons to master to make the receiver or running back bring the ball in.
The game offers three standard modes of play: exhibition, season, and playoffs. But before we forget, there's the sim-mode, which places you in right smack dab in the middle of some of the best Super Bowl games ever. Very nice!
The game is far from perfect, though. For one, the animation is still a bit on the choppy side, especially if you don't have the Expansion Pak. But it has improved a great deal and plays better than the first NFL Quarterback Club that was released way back when. Overall, this is a great game for budding NFL fans to cut their teeth on. --Todd Mowatt
Pros:
Improved player models Better catching Sim-mode reenacts some of the best Super Bowl moments Cons:
Choppy animation
