The Rise and Fall of 989 Sports

[Playmaker76]

I remember my parents buying me NHL Faceoff 2000, because it had John LeClair on the cover. The thing that always baffled me was when you scored a hat trick, there were a lot of Cat in the Hat hats on the ice, as if people actually wore those to the game assuming it wasn't Dr. Seuss night or something.

I'm surprised so many people liked Gameday 98. I thought it was horrible. Wasn't that the one where u can abuse the juke with the RB and score touchdowns so easy everytime you ran the ball using the jukes which goes left/right/left/right

Gameday 98 just felt cheap to me. The jukes were cheesy and overpowering it killed the game for me. Gameday 99 was even worse. Gamebreakers 98 on the other hand was an amazing experience for me.

I was too young to care what cheese/cheating was in video games. The good ol days.

Gosh, I played MLB 99 and MLB 2000 so much.

You could move inside the box, the first time you can alter a batting stance (closed, open, normal...one-handed, two-handed, Fred McGriff whirlwind style, etc.).

The funniest thing was that you could toss the ball to an IF 1 foot away and it would rather just go in the air...you could do that a couple of times, get the AI to bait and go to the next base and throw them out. I just chuckled and chuckled as a kid playing that.
