Game Description
NFL GameDay 97 brings the roar of the stadium and the intensity of the gridiron to life on the original PlayStation with one of the earliest 3D football simulations to hit consoles. As the sequel to the breakout hit NFL GameDay, this entry builds on its predecessor’s success with faster gameplay, refined controls, and a new level of depth for both casual fans and strategy-minded players. Whether you're calling audibles on the fly or juking defenders downfield, the game delivers a full-contact experience that was ahead of its time.
Featuring all 30 NFL teams and full season play, NFL GameDay 97 puts players in command of their favorite franchises in pursuit of Super Bowl glory. From pre-snap formations to post-touchdown celebrations, this was one of the most complete football packages available in the mid-90s console market—and helped set the bar for future sports titles.
