Seven NFL Tour producer videos
Gametrailers has posted up seven new producer videos going over aspects of NFL Tour. Some of the things discussed are the overall story and concept behind the game, the controls, single player Tour mode and create-a-player, the game's presentation and graphics, the two mini-games, and the Smash Meter. One thing I would say when looking at the gameplay in the vids is I would recommend bumping up the difficulty level one higher than the default. It forces the action a little more because th...

Ranking the teams in NFL Tour
After having played with or against every team in NFL Tour (full impressions of the game can be found here) I came away with a general feeling on how good each of them are. I didn't take note of the actual offensive and defensive rankings they had but it was apparent when playing as you could tell the difference between them. So based on my experience I've broken them down into four tiers. The first is the most dominant teams, generally well balanced ones that will present dynamic offense...

NFL Tour hands-on impressions
I was able to get a substantial amount of time in with NFL Tour at the PR event over the weekend. Tour is a game designed for those who have found others such as Madden to be too complicated or just a change of pace from the simulation experience. It strives to be simplistic and easy to play while providing a fun time. Tour has really turned out to be a fun game head-to-head but it isn't going to provide a deep or nearly as satisfying experience from playing the CPU. That isn't a knock on...

Getting time in with NFL Tour
I have arrived in New York for the NFL Tour event where I'll have the opportunity to get some hands-on time with the game, discussion with producer Phil Frazier, and a chance to chat with Trey Wingo who does the commentary for the game. While I'm out here the site will continue to be updated though it may come more in bunches than at different times throughout the day. Look for my initial impressions of the game to come by early Monday morning although I may have something sooner than tha...

NFL Tour gets an even better price
EA has adjusted the pricing strategy lately on the PS3 and 360 taking games such as March Madness 08 and the upcoming FIFA Street 3 and releasing them at $49.99. NFL Tour was also slated for the lower price as noted back in early November. However EA has now reduced the price of NFL Tour even more. The game will be only $39.99. Again this makes a lot of sense given that they are hoping for more people to give it a chance and eventually build it into a yearly or bi-yearly franchise. Als...

NFL Tour achievements
The achievements for the 360 version of NFL Tour have been revealed. There are only 14 of them (three of which are still unknown). They're pretty basic and unless the remaining ones contain something online related there are none there. That is somewhat disappointing on both counts. You can see the entire list here....

IGN previews NFL Tour
IGN has posted their latest preview of NFL Tour which you can check out here.They have also added the first videos of the two mini-games "Smash and Dash" and "Red Zone Rush" among some other new gameplay ones and a sizzle trailer. The preview doesn't really contain any new info but the videos are worth a look. At the event I'll be attending next weekend I'll be able to get a lot of the questions about the game answered along with basic impressions. Before I leave for that I'll post up the...

NFL Tour gameplay videos
Gameinformer was able to play Shawne Merriman online in NFL Tour and they recorded the action. The videos are from near the end of the first half and then the entire second half as Merriman takes his Chargers up against the Packers. IGN also posted up videos of their time playing Merriman and they took the Jaguars up against him. What I am a little confused by is the rosters which were announced yesterday. They aren't balanced in terms of number of players at each position. In the video t...
