Demo for NFL Tour now available
The NFL Tour demo is now available for the PS3. It will be coming to the 360 Marketplace as well, however it seems likely that it won't be out until next week. The demo features the Patriots against the Chargers with one minute halves (the default in the game is two) and can go into overtime. Feel free to post up your thoughts in the comments section. Also keep an eye out for details on an NFL Tour online tournament for the 360, details of which will be posted in the near future. NFL T...

PadreCast #7: NFL Tour
After a hiatus the PadreCast returns. They'll become more regular with shows once a week or whenever a topic catches fire within the community. The guest on the show is EA Sports Community Manager Will Kinsler. To shake off the rust, this PadreCast is more on the lighter side of things as we discuss our experiences playing NFL Tour at the recent event in New York as well as our thoughts on some of the teams and players in the game....

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....
