Sony Cans Most 989 Sports Titles For 2004

Posted by simoniker on from the spiked-out dept.

blueZhift writes "GameSpy reports that Sony's 989 Sports division announced today that NFL GameDay, NCAA GameBreaker, NBA ShootOut, and NCAA Final Four for PlayStation 2 will not be updated for the 2004-2005 season. Hmmm, with Microsoft recently shelving their sports lineup for 2004 and EA Sports games allegedly coming over to Xbox Live, one can only wonder if 989's announcement is EA-related as well."

    And since I'm drunk or high something, I wrote Sega when of course I meant Konami. Konami Tokyo are the people behind Winning Eleven/PES, not Sega. Sorry.

    Excuse me, I meant to say World Series Baseball 2K1.

    What's so bad about it? There's very little hitting control. You can't move the batter around in the batter's box, control the swing type, vary the strength of the swing, or even check your swing. But, most importantly, there is no fielding control whatsoever. It's purely a hitting and pitching game, and the hitting aspect of it is off. It was definitely the low point of the World Series license.
