Item Description

On September 9, 1999, Dreamcast owners took home a football game that looked like Sunday television. Visual Concepts' NFL 2K, published by Sega Sports, launched alongside the console and rewrote expectations for the genre at a time when Madden had a comfortable hold on football gaming and was absent from Sega's new system.

The detail floored people in 1999. Jerseys crease as players move, breath fogs in cold-weather games, receivers wrap their hands around the ball, and players celebrate or sulk depending on how a play turns out. Animations captured the weight and momentum of real NFL action better than anything on a home console up to that point, and the broadcast-style presentation, with on-screen stat graphics and two announcers who banter with each other through the game, felt years ahead of its time. The instant replay uses the Dreamcast's analog triggers to control playback speed with real precision, and you can even pick plays on the VMU screen in your controller to hide them from the friend sitting next to you.

The AI rewards smart play-calling over button-mashing, though breaking a long run takes real work, a weakness the sequels addressed. All the teams, players and modes of a serious sim are here, and four-player sessions were where it shone brightest.

NFL 2K began the 2K sports line that grew into Madden's chief competitor until EA's NFL exclusivity deal ended the rivalry after NFL 2K5. Playing it today is a trip back to the Dreamcast's launch window, when one football game made a brand-new console feel like the future.

About the game

NFL 2K is an American football video game series developed by Visual Concepts and published by Sega.[1] The series was originally exclusive to Sega's Dreamcast video game console due to the absence of EA Sports's Madden NFL series on the system. As the foremost "2K" title, it marked the beginning of a running athletics series that eventually led to the spinning off of 2K's sports publishing business under the name of 2K Sports. Upon the Dreamcast's discontinuation, the series continued to be published for other sixth generation game systems and became the chief competitor of the Madden series. After the competitively priced NFL 2K5 significantly reduced sales of that year's Madden release, EA signed an exclusivity deal with the NFL that made Madden NFL the only series allowed to use NFL team and player names. After losing the NFL license, Visual Concepts made a brief return to developing football games with the release of All-Pro Football 2K8, which featured former NFL players on fictional teams.
