In a recent announcement, SEGA unfortunately revealed that rumours of them ceasing all sports titles for GameCube were, in fact, correct. The following statement was taken from cube-europe:
"Sega has been evaluating its resources and product lineup to ensure it is bringing the right games to the right platforms as the company builds toward becoming a profitable, independent content publisher. After careful examination, Sega has made the strategic decision to support the Nintendo GameCube with a priority on delivering its leading entertainment properties such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Monkey Ball, proven franchises which have been top sellers on the system.
Sega will focus its sports development resources on delivering its Sega Sports games to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox on time at the start of each season. Sega is committed to the Nintendo GameCube and will continue to support the platform with its leading entertainment properties, including the recently announced Sonic Adventure DX, as well as many other titles yet to be announced."
I have to say, the only thing bad about this may be the negative publicity it attracts. Apart from that - what decent, GameCube sports titles do SEGA have to their name? Yes, there's Beach Spikers but really - what else are we missing out on?

Hmm, still a shame to see yet more games going the way of PS2 and Xbox release, with nothing for Ninty.
Nothing
They stopped making them for GC because no one bought them, and no one bought them because they were crap.
