NFL Street

NFL Street is an American football video game developed by EA Tiburon and published by Electronic Arts. It was originally released for the PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox on January 13, 2004. The game was followed by NFL Street 2 and NFL Street 3.

Gameplay

Similar to the Blitz series, Street is seven-on-seven American football, modeled roughly after its informal variant, street football. NFL Players in the game wear street clothing instead of helmets and uniforms (although the players can wear football jerseys). Like other American Football games, NFL Street has basic football rules, but no fouls and low penalty gameplay, naturally leading to much more intense gameplay than its real-life model. However, to maintain the "IronMan" status, there are no injuries in the game.

One important feature in the game is "style points", which the player can earn by successfully completing style moves (which includes making a huge play or taunting the other team during the game). Enough style points will earn the player a "Gamebreaker", which lasts for the entire drive. The Gamebreaker concept was taken from NBA Street.
