    No weather effects in the final game.

    Everything is played in clear day weather.

    Anyone else remember the amazing snow effects in Blitz 2001 for the Dreamcast? Yeah, shame they couldn't give us some weather options in this game.

      No weather, no season, no buy for me.

      PS NFL Blitz 2002, 2003, and 2004 are backward compatible on 360. Oh yeah there's NFL Tour also. All for cheaper than this.

        Read elsewhere that there's a co-op mode?

        Would that be 2 vs. the CPU, online or offline?

        Or 2 vs 2 online, from 4 different consoles?

        Lot of people playing online on the PS3?

        That $15 is a big pill to swallow. EA is trying to regain profitability and digital is one of the ways. Since the game isn't deep at all and they have no manufacturing costs, the profit margins might be close to the regular game at $60 retail.

        Buying the disc is a better deal for consumers. You get tired of the game, you can recoup most of your investment by selling it used, which the game publishers hate.

          There is co-op for up to 4 players, though all players have to be on the same console.

          I'm guessing the max you can go is 2 per side, but I haven't tested it to confirm.

          That said, I definitely don't recommend this game for $15.

          Save your money and pick up a copy of Blitz 2001, NFL Street, Tecmo Super Bowl et al.

          Heck, you could probably get all three of those for the same cost as Madden Arcade.

            I never thought that $15 was such a break in the bank.

            Just played my bro for about an hour and a half. We turn the gamebreakers off and go simple, pure football. Good stuff!

              This game is very fun and a nice alternative for Madden NFL 10 if you become bored of it. I love the game changers and I can see myself playing this for awhile.

                I agree. I just had a great unranked game online. I was the Saints and played someone that used the Giants. It went back and forth and I ended up winning 34-26. It really is fun and as you said a nice alternative to Madden.

                  I played a few more games online, and man this game can be very addictive, I'm really enjoying it.

                    Man, the Titans are cheap as hell in this game with Chris Johnson and Vince Young on offense.

                    My online record right now is 15-0, with the closest competition so far coming from a Titans vs. Titans game.

                    I hate it when games are so unbalanced that they make you feel ashamed for playing as your home team.

                      Cost too much.

                      Also spamming the medium pass to your running back works everytime.

                        Yeah just like in Madden 10, the coverage out of the flats sucks, and when you add that to the fact that RBs catch passes way better than they should, you get games where the RB is the leading receiver for most teams.

                          Yeah I agree. i noticed that too when I played the unranked game as the Saints. It was a little too easy to drop it off to Bush and take off.

                            Well, with all of the hype going around about Madden Arcade, I forgot about this:



                            Checked it out from my store and played a few games and saved 15$. Madden Arcade should be $9.99

                              Nah, this game is much better than NFL Tour.

                              NFL Tour was an abomination when it came out and still sucks just as bad today. If you want to pick up a game from the Street franchise, get NFL Street 2 for the Xbox.

                              NFL Tour was a huge step back for the franchise, and the poor sales from that game are part of the reason why the Street brand got shut down by EA.

                              You are right, though, that Madden Arcade should've been $5 or $10 at best. $15 is complete overkill for what little content the game has to offer.

                                Tried it for 5 minutes. Terrible.

                                I'll stick with the PS2 NFL Street games if I need a fix.
