Thank you, that's all I needed to hear. Pretty much confirmed what I was thinking anyway.

never was a fan of EA BIG sports. i just could never get into NBA Street or the other arcade like football game EA made. I won't be checking this out. besides i already have a football game.

I was curious what the sales strategy was going to be. a $15 download seems about right for this.

I downloaded the trial version and played few times. It was different and fun. My only complaint would be that there is no play selection screen, you get what they give you, run, pass short, medium and deep. If there were some type of single player season mode I would buy it. Without that I think I'll pass. I've got MX vs ATV Reflex in my sights for my MX racing fix next week so I'll need that $15.00 toward that purchase.

Does anyone know if they plan to add any type of season play in the future?

Haven't downloaded it yet but with Madden Arcade and the Madden card thing that's coming in january will keep things active for the madden community and will keep me playing football til next august....I may have to skip buying baseball this year so I can spend my time playing all these extra maddens. Madden 10 til Feb, Madden "Cards" from Feb-May, Madden Arcade from May-August......all of this with only spending $75 overall.....3 different type football games for $75....wow

I downloaded the game and played it this morning. If you were a fan of the old NFL Street series back on the PS2 and Xbox, I think you will enjoy it. It's something you won't spend hours and hours playing but if you are in the mood for a quick football game, this will do. It is what it is, an acrade game. It dosn't try to be anything more than that.

That's what I said. It's too much for a game that's using an existing engine. I think they would have been better served to offer it at around $5 the first release to help garner interest and then raise the price as the game added features. I wish they'd make a techmo styled 2D'er. I'd pay $10 for it without hesitation.

Are you sure about that? There's an arcade mode in the Wii version? I was thinking of getting it on the Wii just to see what it was liked. Personally I dug the design they did for the Wii. Fit the console perfectly.

If someone could verify the arcade version in the Wii game for me I'd appreciate it.

So do the graphics look like Madden 2010 or is it the NFL Street cartooney style graphics?
