    Do you think you all could play the game and then give an honest review of it and leave your knee-jerk anti-EA crap at home where it belongs? There is, in fact, a significant number of new things in this game. Own the City, Six Street Events, Wall Moves, Online Play on Xbox, etc. etc. Only because it is chic to say that EA releases the same game over and over again do people buy into this Do you think you all could play the game and then give an honest review of it and leave your knee-jerk anti-EA crap at home where it belongs? There is, in fact, a significant number of new things in this game. Own the City, Six Street Events, Wall Moves, Online Play on Xbox, etc. etc. Only because it is chic to say that EA releases the same game over and over again do people buy into this crap. Is Kotor 2 significantlyd ifferent than Kotor 1? Is Burnout 3 that different than Burnout 2? Is ESPN 2k5 that different than ESPN 2k4? Seriously now. No one forces you to buy any game. I digress. In truth, this is a pretty good game which becomes much better when you play it with friends. Of all the criticisms of this game few ever say that it isn't fun. Bring three friends over and play some 2 on 2 Open Field Challenge and then tell me this isn't a fun game. Expand

    This is what version 1 should have been.

    This game is great to play with your friends, you can play street events or pick up tournaments. I could sit there for hours playing street events with some friends, some times we do a open field showdown with fat lineman which is funny. For those of you who dont like this game try playing multiplayer.

    One of the most magnificently surprising titles of recent years. You don't need to know the ins and outs of American Football to enjoy it, it's infinitely more accessible than others in the genre and it manages to keep the whole 'Urban-Extreme' aspect to a tolerable level.
  2. The one and only thing in the game that hasn't changed is the fun factor, which thankfully is still alive and well.

    The extra games EA added are attention-worthy treats speaking to the schoolyard athlete in everyone, no matter how uncoordinated or out of shape. [Feb 2005, p.95]
