yea i downloaded it the other day on the PSN. it was absolutely terrible. the graphics suck, you cant do much more than just run, the A.I. is dumb, playing defense is almost impossible so the "Make It, Take It Mode" just gets someone blown out, the framerate sucks, i couldnt tell the difference between the easy and hard settings, i could go on forever. EA seriously needs to stop pumping this crap out. how can you sleep at night knowing you participated in something as bad as this?

also the headline isnt very fitting seeing there is no kicking in the game.

I demo'd it on 360, and it's pretty fun, reminded me alot of the fun of NFL Street 1 on Xbox (before the Street games got lame). Although, apparently the game is insanely dry bones, and defense IS pretty much nonexistant, I still got some fun out of it. Not a buyer, but atleast a renter.

You gotta look at it from a business standpoint.
EA already shelled out hundreds of millions for the exclusive NFL license. If they toss a few thousand dollars into developing a crappy arcade football game, they're bound to make that little bit of money back in name recognition alone.
No need to put the time, money or effort into making a quality product. That's the EA philosophy in a nutshell.

Soooooo They took NFL Street, plus there Arena Football game and clashed them together to make NFL Tour......Great use of a NFL License EA...you guys have really showed you are doing a great job with a deal that last two more years. Long Live 2kSports..and bash me all you want but come on people..seriously..this is just waste of money..If i wanted unrealistic tackles, and late hits with (from what i see) a lil out dated graphics...... Id go play NFL2k on dreamcast.Gamefly it out!!!!

im not going to bash you. in fact, ill +1 you. this NFL exclusive license has just made EA even lazier than they already were. now they can put out a piece of shit NFL game and not have to worry about the competition making something better. i absolutely love football, but Madden sucks, and i hate it, and it looks like this will be another addition to my shit-list. this is the exact reason why a monopoly is rarely a good thing.

It was like they took everything that was fun about NFL street and took it away. Then added a button to break tackles and fireworks. It is just like a 7 on 7 football with a little harder hits. This game just isn't very fun

Forget nfl street, even NFL Blitz for the psx plays better than this steaming pile.

Played it earlier on PSN and made the mistake of choosing the "Make it-take it" rules. Since playing defense is completely impossible, the first time I turned the ball over I never got back. I expected an evolution from the NFL Street games, but I would've settled for something as good as them. Instead I played this piece of garbage. Boo.
