NFL Tour preview of the action-sports replacement for NFL Street

NFL Tour for PS3A superstar replacement for EA’s NFL Street series, NFL Tour brings the spectacle of a traveling NFL road show alive, with intuitive controls, fast-paced gameplay, and visually stunning graphics. Gamers will be able to embark on a fictional NFL road show. With real NFL players as teammates, players will travel across the country to play against each of the NFL teams in newly designed stadiums. As players defeat each of the NFL squads, they come one step closer to winning a NFL contract.

A Gamedaily preview explains that “much of the game will focus on muscling through defensive lines without losing too much speed. Encounters frequently occur where runners have a chance to reverse a tackle, giving the tackler an opportunity to reverse the reversal. Time slows down during these tackle encounters, and learning to successfully pull off the reversals could mean the difference between victory and loss. Additionally, players will have a smash meter located on the bottom of the screen that, when full, allows gamers to execute a special defensive ability. The smash-move ability will remove a play from the offensive team, and players can expect to get about five smash-move plays per game.”

Grab the ball, and don’t let anyone get in your way of viewing this NFL Tour teaser!

NFL Tour was released this week for PS3 & Xbox 360.
