Another thing about the series is that they were the first to go polygonal on the PS1. I never got that game back from my cuz. He gave my jewel case back with Blitz in it after I let him borrow it. Lol. At any rate, it is ashame how their sports games came to an end other than their MLB game which became such a remarkable game in The Show. Shootout was downright pathetic and only had 1080p graphics going for it in it's current gen iteration. Gameday coulda become something if it lasted but the lack of license would have hurt...yet, I think Gameday went kaput before the EA license deally. If that game was still around, Sony may have had a shot at keeping the NFL license open to all comers.

Read the Wiki, NFL GameDay 2005 did in fact come out. It was released on the PS1 only (I think they either cancelled the PS2 version to revamp it for the next year or it was EA's deal that killed it).

They were actually working on a title called Road to Sunday which got canned...sadly.
