NFL 2K


 NFL 2K is a video game based on the NFL, developed by Visual Concepts and published by Sega for the Dreamcast in 1999. The game received "universal acclaim" on the review aggregation site GameRankings, and received high scores from various well-known media outlets, including GameSpot, IGN, and GameSpy.

Chris Charla from NextGen called it "a visual masterpiece and a great football game that will, and should, sell systems." In Japan, where the game was released on January 20, 2000, Famitsu gave it a score of 34 out of 40.



The Rookie from GamePro said, "If you own a Dreamcast and love football, you'd be an absolute fool to pass up this game. Even though you won't find a franchise mode in this year's version, NFL 2K is a deep football sim that'll satisfy any pigskin junkie." Scary Larry said, "Who wins the gridiron war? It comes down to this: Madden is the best playing game in town, with incredible depth and superior football skills, but NFL 2K is the way to go if you're undecided, because the graphics, sound, and sheer fun of the game far surpass Madden and GameDay."

The game was a finalist for "Console Sports Game of the Year," "Outstanding Achievement in Sound Design," "Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering," and "Outstanding Achievement in Game Play Engineering" at the AIAS' 3rd Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, with those awards going to other games. It was also nominated for CNET Gamecenter's 1999 "Dreamcast" award, which was won by Soulcalibur.
