Atomic Dawg of GamePro said in one review, "In a world of video game football, NFL 2K1 is Super Bowl-bound—with topnotch replay featuring online gameplay [...] and a vicious all-pro difficulty level. Any Dreamcast football player who passes up this game should be fined."[7]Template:Efn In another GamePro review, Cheat Monkey said, "Football fans looking for a realistic videogame should look no further. NFL 2K1 stands helmet and shoulderpads above the rest, which is easy to do since it's the only new Dreamcast football game available. With improvements made over the already incredible NFL 2K, this year's NFL game on the Dreamcast is all a football fan could wish for."[8]Template:Efn
