NFL Street
NFL Street
NFL Street, développé par EA Orlando et publié par EA Sports BIG et Electronic Arts, est sorti le 13 janvier 2004 sur PlayStation 2, Xbox et Nintendo GameCube. Ce jeu de sport mêle les talents et les figures connues de la NFL à l'ambiance du football de rue. La presse a salué certains aspects techniques, comme le souligne Next Level Gaming qui indique que les graphismes du jeu sont réussis, avec une légère avance pour la version Xbox plus lisse et plus nette que celle sur PS2, tandis que Maxim Online relève la volonté du titre d'écarter les bottés et les playbooks chargés au profit de gestes comme les laterals entre les jambes et les doubles revers. De leur côté, des joueurs sur Metacritic expriment un enthousiasme marqué, estimant le jeu bien plus amusant que Madden et citant les opus 1 à 3 comme leurs jeux sportifs préférés, tout en regrettant l'absence d'un nouveau volet. L'ensemble affiche une note moyenne agrégée de 83,10.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Dispense with kicking and doodle-heavy playbooks, and deploy between-the-leg laterals and double reverses, plus a mess of excellent unsportsmanlike, showboating taunts. »
« The graphics in NFL Street look good with a slight edge going to the Xbox version of the game. The Xbox version looks smoother and cleaner while the PS2 version looks a little rough around the edges. »
« It's definitely one of the best multiplayer games out there and is so addictive you might lose a whole weekend with nothing to show of it but sore thumbs and the memory of the five lateral double reverse that you ran the length of the field only to fumble when getting blasted into a wall. »
« In the surprisingly good single-player "NFL Challenge" mode, you earn points to build a franchise, choosing everything from the players' mutated genes (10 attributes, plus size) to their speed-enhancing sneakers. 'Cause it ain't all about the steroids. »
« It has stylish gameplay that never really gets old (LATERAL CITY!), graphics that are stunning, sound that fits the mood, and extras aplenty. »
« A rarity among its peers as it brings a simplified game of football home for gamers that just can't seem to get their minds around the rules of "Madden 2004." »
« Like "NBA Street," the gameplay is easy enough to be pick-up-and-play friendly but deep enough to stay entertaining for weeks. »
« Street has surprising depth for an arcade football title, I enjoyed it more than I have any of the "Blitz" games, but it is a multiplayer title at heart and still comes up a little short in the single player experience. »
