The reigning world champions, the Denver Broncos, line up at the line of scrimmage as the quarterback receives the snap. He fakes a hand-off to the left before executing a delayed hand-off to Terrell Davis, who cuts right, accelerates through the gap between the offensive tackle and center, and bursts into the midfield for a 23-yard gain. In this case, however, the quarterback isn't the retired John Elway, but his successor, Bubby Brister, and the action isn't a live game—it's another round of 989 Studios' NFL GameDay 2000. The 2000 version offers more balanced playbooks, improved CPU artificial intelligence—including a pre-snap AI system—and over 200 new motion-captured animations.
