Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Madden, now on your Apple Macintosh.

Revisional Differences#

Version 1.0.1's changelog2:

  • Added an option to the Setup application, under the Game tab, to turn off all sound & music. If you are having trouble with the game crashing immediately at startup (at the Loading... screen), you should be able to get it to run as a last resort by disabling sound/music. If you are having this problem, first try the following solutions:
  • Copy the "Cinema", "Commentary", and "Teams" folders from the Madden CD into the Madden 2000 folder.
  • Increase the amount of Virtual Memory you have set on your machine (in the Memory control panel).
  • Set your monitor to 256 colors in the Monitors and Sound control panel before running the game.
  • The Commentary, Cinema, and Teams folders can now be copied from the CD into either the Madden NFL 2000 folder or the Game folder.

  • Custom teams created on the PC now load correctly

  • You can now assign Button #9 to gamepads in the Mouse/Joystick config screen. Button #9 will call a timeout immediately, without having to pause the game and select from a menu

  • Fixed a bug where pressing ESC and calling a timeout/substituting players would select the wrong team (ie. you would call a time out and it would be charged to the opponent)

  • Fixed crash when playing at Veteran's Stadium (Phildelphia) in Software rendering mode

  • Fixed global playbook crash (you can now use global playbooks in a profile)

  • Diving out of bounds clock fix (it now stops the clock)

  • Clock fix for 1.0 (PC patch2) clock problem (corrected version)

  • Weight text in player create screen fix (Shows the correct wieght)

  • Fixed franchise trade crash when trading players.

  • Trading players with same jersy number assignment fixed. (traded players getting vets numbers)

  • Switching qtr length / difficulty in franchise now works correctly.

  • Fixed a bug where changing Depth Chart positions would desync multiplayer games.

  • Debug Dialogs#
