The game received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [3] Rob Smolka of NextGen said of the game, "If lifelike graphics are what you want, save yourself $60 and turn on ESPN; the gameplay isn't worth a dime." [13]
The game was a runner-up for GameSpot 's annual "Most Disappointing Game" award among console games, which ultimately went to Shenmue . The staff called the former "lackluster" and noted that Sega was "well known for producing superior sports games". [16]
