Today SEGA announced that ESPN NFL Football has shipped and should be ready to be picked up by the time you read this. Available for the PS2 and Xbox, this is the only title that offers online play on both platforms, as well as a first person view.
Developed by the same team that brought the world the NFL 2K series (Visual Concepts) this is a new direction for the franchise. SEGA has teamed up with ESPN since last season, but this year the partnership is being exploited even further – so much so that the franchise needed to be renamed, complete with ESPN style presentation and a telecast style of play.
“ESPN NFL Football has truly been a labor of dedicated passion,” stated Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts. “One area that I am particularly proud of is our online efforts. With online play available on both systems and our soon to be announced online league feature, sports gamers are going score this season!”
Added Rick Alessandri, senior vice president and general manager, ESPN Enterprises, “This is a truly exciting time for us as we realize our goal of presenting a fantastic sports video game for fans.”
