Video Gaming News - August 2002
San Francisco, CA (August 21, 2002) - Sega today announced
details on their Sega Sports challenge. See below for the announcement.
From Sega:
Who's got game? Continuing to tap into the emotional rivalry that goes hand
in hand with SEGA Sports(TM) games, SEGA(R) of America, Inc. today announced the
new SEGA Sports Challenge mode for its SEGA Sports 2K3 lineup of games. Debuting
first in "SEGA Sports(TM) NFL 2K3," the SEGA Sports Challenge lets players
measure how they "stack up" against fellow gamers around the world through a
newly-formed online community that posts rankings on Segasports.com. In addition
to online multiplayer gameplay offered in many SEGA Sports 2K3 titles, the SEGA
Sports Challenge is taking the competition to the next level by awarding top
gamers with great SEGA Sports prizes.
"SEGA Sports titles continue to push the boundaries of realism and with that
comes a deeper level of rivalry," said Tom Nichols, vice president of sports
marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "The SEGA Sports Challenge mode lets sports
gamers put stats behind their 'bragging rights' and gives them a public place to
show their dominance."
With "SEGA Sports(TM) NFL 2K3," gamers will be able to use the SEGA Sports
Challenge mode to create a User Record that tracks their stats in offline
Exhibition games within a multitude of categories. These categories will measure
sport-specific indicators such as tackles, strikeouts and free throw shooting in
both single games and via average scores over a series of games. Following the
completion of each game, players will receive a unique Challenge Code that
contains user data and their cumulative statistics. By keying in their Challenge
Code at the Segasports.com homepage, gamers can see how their statistics stack
up compared to other players.
The SEGA Sports Challenge mode will be available in most "SEGA Sports 2K3"
franchises, including "SEGA Sports NFL 2K3," "SEGA Sports(TM) NBA 2K3," "SEGA
Sports(TM) NHL(R) 2K3," "SEGA Sports(TM) NCAA(R) College Basketball
2K3" and "SEGA Sports(TM) World Series(R) Baseball 2K3."
