ALL-NEW SEGA SPORTS CHALLENGE TAKES SPORTS VIDEO GAMING TO THE NEXT LEVEL
WITH 2K3 TITLES
Unprecedented New Mode Creates Universal Competition for Bragging Rights
Through Internet-based Rank-and-Rate System on Segasports.com; Top Gamers
Win Great Prizes
SAN FRANCISCO (August 21, 2002) - 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."
