Game Description

It's time to get back to the joy of the game - throwing together a couple of teams in the backyard and going head-to-head in a fun, wacky game of football. Do all that and more, but this time, play as your favorite current NFL player back when he was a kid! Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, LaDanian Tomlinson, Brian Urlacher, and more are available, along with all 32 licensed NFL teams. You control the pace and strategy of the game by using full-blown NFL tactics or by just going all-out with a crazy game and rules. All-new graphics and locations add to the depth as you unlock new power-ups and mini-games or join with friends for multiplayer fun!
