(PS2) ( EA Sports )
AFL was more of a success than EA SPORTS had expected, so to cash in, they wanted another version turned around in the year. One thing I had learned at Midway was that arcade sports games don’t work on an annualized basis, but what the company’s senior exec team wants, they get, so JDGroup turned out a sequel using third-party developers. It was OK, it just didn’t have a lot new to offer and it became the last of EA SPORTS’ AFL licensed games.
