NFL GameDay 2003
NFL GameDay 2003, sorti le 13 août 2002 sur PlayStation et PlayStation 2, est le premier opus de la série GameDay de 989 Studios, exclusive à la PlayStation, à proposer le jeu en ligne. Classé dans les genres simulation et sport, le titre a reçu un accueil mitigé mais plutôt favorable de la part de la critique. Gaming Maxx a ainsi salué un jeu très amusant malgré une intelligence artificielle et des graphismes perfectibles, tandis que GamePro a relevé des progrès notables dans le gameplay, les graphismes et les fonctionnalités, jugeant l'expérience footballistique solide et agréable, tout en soulignant qu'elle n'avait pas encore atteint son plein potentiel.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The AI and specific aspects of the gameplay need tweaking, and graphically it could stand a few tweaks too, but very fun to play regardless. »
« The advances in gameplay, graphics, and features are quite noticeable as GameDay is a solid, enjoyable football experience; however, it’s still not yet ready to take the starter position. »
« If I felt like I had more control over stopping the pass, I would probably rate Gameday 2003 higher. »
« True fans of the series can take heart at its improvements, but it looks like next year will have to be its Cinderella season. [Sept 2002, p.79] »
« Solid online gameplay along with its constantly updated stats and rosters are a major advantage for Gameday, turning the game into every fantasy football players best dream come true. »
« An above average football game that will appeal to gamers who are more enthralled with running up the score or having a full-fledged shoot out than an NFL simulation. »
« A huge advancement over last year’s poor efforts...probably the best GameDay to date, but it is still not enough to match the polish and quality of "NFL 2K3" or Madden. »
« Faster, better looking, and multiplayer friendly (thank you online play), the developers are back on track with its philosophy of "real football"...[but] the Madden and 2K series are still safely on top. »
