overall this is an awesome game. i loved playing this and there is quite a few things that you can do in this game. the tutorial in the beginning is a very useful thing to have if you haven't played it before or you have and you are looking to learn the new stuff or brush up on your skills before hitting the parking lot or the rooftops or whatever your area may be. now this is a pretty good game but i and a lot of others all feel that this game was quite rushed in the development process. they do have a few new things to add into the nfl street mix though. they added all new street events such as crush the carrier and jump ball battle. my favorite new feature that they put in this one would have to be the wall moves though. they added in things like wall passes, jukes, hurdles and catches. all of those things are very useful to avoid a sack a pick or just to get over a defender. they also have a special guest quarterback that they added into the mix too. none other than xibit is an unlockable quarterback and you also get his all star team with the unlocking of his charecter. this game is also complete with a brand new group of legends and an alternate way of unlocking them all. i would reccomend this game for the average gamer. some of the things in madden point to a crowd that may be advanced in football knowledge. the only things are really needed to play this game is patience and a deck with the game. you could go into this game not knowing what a sack is and you would still have a good time if you like the football genre as a whole. out of all the new things that are in this version my favorite is own the city with the gauntlet as a close second. i will describe the gauntlet first because it is fairly simple. you chose your team and take on the rest of the nfl. in the own the city mode you start off with one person and make him from scratch. you choose his postion and all of his stats and clothes and jump into some street events to get development points and other teammates. all together i would reccomend this game for anybody who liked the first one or is new to the series alltogether but likes football.
