NFL Street Takes Football 'Extreme'

Posted by simoniker on from the extreme-crown-green-bowling-next dept.

Thanks to IGN PS2 for posting their hands-on impressions of EA's newly unveiled NFL Street. This more 'street' alternative to EA's own Madden series, modeled on other EA BIG titles such as the NBA Street series, is described as "..seven-on-seven street ball showcasing the showoff skills and showboat style of the NFL elite. No helmets, no pads, but all the attitude you'd expect from the game's greats like Ray Lewis, Terrell Owens, Michael Vick, and Marshall Faulk." Could this title join Madden in outselling Sega Sports' football titles, despite Sega's attempts to catch up?

    So we'll have a block button, a pass button, a tackle button, and a stab button?

  2. Next great football game by moc.tfosorcimgllib · · Score: 3, Funny

    8 Man football in Rural US.

    That's right, soon you will have the exciting opportunity to represent a high school of 30 people who have the nerds on the same team as the jocks (playing far far left wide reciever, and ineffective right tackle).

    All the excitement without the hassle of driving 4 hours to the next small-town to play football against.

    This game will include such 8-Man football highlight towns as Hartington, NE, Dix, NE, Ffriend, NE, Meade, KS, and Glendo, WY.
    Imagine the heart pounding action of this extreme sport as you hope your only decent player (QB, Safety and Field Goal Kicker) makes it through the season without injury.

    It's in your face BOREDOM to the EXTREME!!!

    (The extra ! is for !!!)!

    I just want to be that dude that goes around office buildings tackling people (and I'm not talking about the BSA!) I think it might be Terry Owens.

    You could even have some plot stuff built into it. Like you've gotta tackle some exec before he sells the company, etc. Tackle the UPS guy before he can leave the lobby with the receptionists pen. There could be time trials, most injuries incured in 1 minute. Better yet, they could take some pads and make a DDR type game only instead of dancing around like a boy band member on crack, you'd be have this foam covered rubber pole that you'd jump against to simulate knocking co-workers on their asses. They coulc call it "Tackle revolution" or "Insta-lawsuit" ;-)
