Road to Sunday - PS2

Here's the type of game you get when EA buys up the NFL rights... Here's Sonys entry into football games this year...

 

From Chris Morris (CNN.com) via Shacknews:

"The storyline revolves around Blake Doogan, an affluent sports mogul who inherits a professional football team after his father dies in a suspicious explosion while vacationing in Jamaica. Blake learns his father borrowed large sums of capital from a Jamaican kingpin to purchase a professional team. Doogan's father's debt is now his debt. The gameplay follows the owner, his sidekick Harry and seven football players as they put it all on the line in order to accumulate enough money to pay off the Jamaican kingpin and win the championship.

Players not only compete on the gridiron but also gain exposure to an

underworld of questionable characters, gambling, and an underground fighting league run by the corrupt Jamaican kingpin. The players' world off-the-field involves high-stakes fighting tournaments, betting, gambling, and training, all of which increase player attributes for future missions and football games."

I have a feeling you may get to replay a scene from the Last Boy Scout during a football game.

And here's a preview from good old Gamespot

Simply Bizzare. It sounds like a big old middle finger to the NFL. Everything the NFL wouldn't want associated with football.... Maybe the cheerleaders will be turning tricks on the sideline too, and you get to be their pimp. That sounds like fun!

 

Quite the additions to Owner Mode.
