Preview Special: Sega Sports Line-Up
This year the multi-platform Sega Sports party begins and everyone's invited - except for GameCube owners. Four fresh previews await!
Although GameCube is being dissed and dismissed and left out in the cold, Sega's sports party is still attacking Xbox and PS2 with full force. We're taking a closer look with four previews plus new screens and videos.
With a brand new ESPN license and the old "2K4" suffixes dropped, NCAA NBA Basketball and ESPN NCAA Basketball will both hit the US this fall, joining NCAA NFL Football and NCAA NHL Hockey, released earlier this month. In Europe, all titles will hit (with the exception of NCAA Basketball) from October 31.

With Sega Sports strong presence at this year's E3, the titles will be even more visible by the year's end, as they're released on Xbox and PS2.
Sega's Visual Concepts studio has endured an uphill battle with sales of sports titles since going thirdparty, but the company is hoping things will change with the ESPN 2K4 series.
