Arena Football: Road to Glory
Arena Football: Road to Glory
Sorti le 21 février 2007 sur PlayStation 2, Arena Football: Road to Glory est un jeu de sport développé par Budcat Creations et EA Orlando, et édité par Electronic Arts sous sa marque EA Sports. Le jeu met à la une le fullback/lignebacker Bob McMillen, de l'équipe championne des ArenaBowl XX, les Chicago Rush.
Road to Glory propose l'intégralité des règles, des effectifs et des équipes pour la saison de l'Arena Football League (AFL). Pour la première fois dans la série, la ligue mineure d'arena football, l'AF2, est également incluse. Le titre a reçu une note moyenne de 55 sur les agrégateurs.
L'accueil critique et des joueurs a été mitigé. La presse a reconnu des améliorations par rapport au précédent opus sur le plan des fonctionnalités, mais a estimé que le gameplay n'avait pas reçu la même attention. Certains joueurs ont regretté une intelligence artificielle vieillissante et des graphismes peu lisibles, tandis que d'autres ont comparé les animations à celles de la série Madden, trouvant l'expérience amusante mais à la durée de vie limitée.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The Bottom Line is that even though Road to Glory is an improvement over last years AFL via feature set, the gameplay hasn't received the type of refinement that we would expect. »
« A week of this game and you will have had your fill. One tip; in season mode go through the fantasy draft and figure out which positions have the least amount of really highly rated players and draft those positions first. You should be able to blow through the season undefeated. »
« But Arena Football Road to Glory does truly capture, in true EA Sports form, the real essence of indoor football that will offer the average football gamer another choice to select from if they want a pigskin alternative to both of EA’s other more revered football franchises covering the NFL and college football. »
« The fast-paced and intense offense showcases the style of play found in the AFL. Gamers wanting a deep and extensive football experience will be disappointed. »
« There is no denying that Arena Football: Road To Glory has a bit more to offer than last year’s debut – but not enough really to warrant a second purchase for owners of the first game. »
« Here is your standard case of lost opportunity. If only Arena Football: Road to Glory were a lot more fleshed-out in the options and game modes it would take its seat among EA’s roster of elite sports games. »
« Between the receivers’ lack of ball awareness and the game’s horrendous slowdown – which interferes with just about every play – this title is anything but high octane. »
« Road to Glory is more like a Path to Repetition. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« I have seen better AI in Nintendo 64 Games and the graphics make it hard to see whats going on. I wish the AFL would make a next-gen game that really rocks. »
« It feels like the animations are EXACTLY like Madden. It can be fun sometimes, like hitting people over the walls. But you'll get bored of it really quick. »
« The only thing I like in this game more than the other football games is that you can make people fly over the guard rail, other than that the field is too short too be considered fun. »
