NFL Street

Game Overview

NFL Street is an arcade sports title developed by EA Tiburon and published under the EA Sports BIG label. Blending the high-flying, no-rules attitude of arcade classics like NFL Blitz with urban street culture and trick mechanics, the title offers a fresh, high-impact take on American football.

Gameplay features fast-paced 7-on-7 gridiron battles with no out-of-bounds delays, no penalty flags, and no traditional special teams play. Players accumulate "Style Points" by pulling off jukes, hurdles, taunts, pitch passes, and big defensive hits. Filling the Style Meter unlocks the coveted Gamebreaker mode, granting your team temporary invincibility, unstoppable rushing power, or forced turnover hits.

On the Nintendo GameCube, NFL Street delivers responsive controls, fluid 60fps gameplay, and deep single-player progression through the NFL Challenge mode, where players build a custom team from scratch and unlock legendary NFL stars. The game is tied together with a high-energy hip-hop soundtrack featuring artists like Xzibit, Ludacris, Killer Mike, and DJ Green Lantern.
