      I got 8/10 because I spelled Daunte wrong, so I shoulda had 9/10

    BTW, this refers to the US edition of the game. Apparently, there was a European version of Madden 2000 that had Dorsey Levens on the cover.

      Mark, thats not right, EA Sports had the cover and several editions with Barry Sanders on them, but since he retired before the 2000 started and never played in 2000, EA Sports changed the later editions to Dorsey Levens

      • edsquires11 replied October 02, 2008

        i actually had both editions...dont know why but i did lol

      TheDean1 replied September 02, 2008

      Harvey, Barry was on the cover for the early editions and since he didn't play that year due to retirement, EA Sports put Dorsey Levens on the later editions of their 2000 edition.

    This quiz is flawed, because madden 2000 has 3 different covers, 2 with john madden and then the one with sanders, i call shenanigans only getting 9/10 and not 10/10
