NFL Street Site (http://www.easportsbig.com/games/nflstreet/home.jsp)
I just ran across this today when I decided to drool some more over NCAA2004. (Which I am picking up on my way home from work, btw) I like the concept. EA's answer to Blitz, but it isn't even TRYING to be real football. Granted, Blitz (which I have only played maybe 1 time, and an older version) doesn't go for realism either, but taking the game off the field could really do wonders for this niche, IMO. And NBA Street was a decent success, so something to build on from there. I will definitely be renting instead of buying this one though, as NBA Street grew stale for me in about 2 days.
One thing I'm mildly surprised about is that the NFL is behind this one. It comes off as pretty violent, which is something I thought they frowned upon.
Worth checking out during the doldrums of next year I suppose.
