Reminiscent of Mutant League Football. The field looks way too small, it could be interesting though.

Hmmm. Very good find bro. It looks like they are bringing out another mutant football game out since the early super nes days. That might be interesting to try out when it comes out. Thanks for the find and posting bro.

This game was supposed to come out a long time ago. I wonder what the hold up is?

I'll definitely give it a rental and if it's good hopefully I can find it somewhere on the cheap.

Man.... I've kinda got the itch to get this game.

I think I'll wait for the review. I love strategy and sports.... sounds like this game may please.

Blockbuster said they're getting it but the release date they have is Feb. 2nd.

My initial impression is that it's the worst game I've ever played.

It gave the appearence of a scrum or face off type thing. I put the cursor thinking I'd go after the big guy but no that was a kick off and they got the ball at half. I somehow made them fumble but couldn't pick up the ball. You don't control players directly btw,it's a cursor thing like a SRPG. I clicked on my player,I clicked on the ball,he did nothing. The AI eventually picked it up and ran it into the endzone unopposed while most of my players stood there doing nothing.

Then it was my turn. I chose to put my player under the ball after an "event" screen. He got the ball,stood there and did his best impression Sony's customer support by doing absolutely nothing much like my defenders. The big AI guy tackles him. He fumbles and the other AI guy picks it up and runs it in the endzone unopposed again. I turned it off.

I'll have to go through all the tutorial crap and read the massive book. See I thought you'd have direct control of the players so didn't bother but you don't.

After trying tutorials and the turn based mode it's still the worst game I've ever played,in fact seems to have gotten even worse. If not it's at least the worst football/sports game I've ever played. Yes even worse than Madden 2005 and Tecmo's recent NBA XBL debacle.
