NFL Pro Bowl
Quarterback Donovan McNabb Takes Aim at the
PlayStation(R)2 Computer Entertainment System as
the Cover Athlete for NFL GameDay(TM) 2002
Sony Computer
Entertainment America announced today that the
most prolific professional athlete to take to the
quarterback position, Donovan McNabb, has been
signed as the cover athlete for NFL GameDay(TM)
2002 from the 989 Sports(TM) development team.
A lethal
combination of explosive offensive abilities both
on the ground and through the air, Donovan McNabb
personifies the brand of high-flying, intense
football action of NFL GameDay 2002.
"Donovan
McNabb exemplifies the tonality and competitive
spirit of NFL GameDay 2002," said Kelly
Ryan, director, sports product development.
"He has the ability to step to the line of
scrimmage and take over a game with his skill and
sheer athletic ability. Whether he is scrambling
out of the pocket and launching a touchdown pass
or juking a defender to pick up a first down,
like NFL GameDay 2002, Donovan McNabb is
unadulterated excitement on the gridiron and we
are proud to have him on the cover of NFL GameDay
2002."
Feared for his
explosive offensive abilities on the ground and
through the air, Donovan McNabb brings an
unorthodox brand of creative playmaking and
game-breaking skills to the field. While leading
his team last year in passing and rushing yards,
Donovan McNabb has in a brief time established
himself as a player to be feared by opposing
defenses and an NFL fan favorite.
Hidden behind a
Hollywood grin lies the world-class athletic
ability that sets Donovan McNabb apart as one of
the most athletic quarterbacks in professional
football and a perfect model for NFL GameDay
2002's unparalleled football action.
Continuing the
tradition of the PlayStation game console's
original football franchise, NFL GameDay 2002
raises the bar this fall with intense football
gameplay and exceptional NFL realism. NFL GameDay
2002 features a new, state-of-the-art animation
engine and exclusive multiple player
motion-capture technology, translating into the
most powerful and realistic tackle sequences,
drag downs and blocking animations. From the
realistic graphics depicting players in amazing
detail, to the array of on-field actions
including gang tackles, "shoestring"
catches, drag down tackles and shoves, NFL
GameDay 2002 truly captures the intensity of the
NFL.

Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rates
