Hey Madden, you can learn from your cousin AFL here. I know the AFL game graphics can go to hell and they probably dont have the funds to put their voices in the game and I have to listen to a monotone PA system, but the All Fun League made this game as they say it fun. The only reason why this game is getting a 4 instead of a 5 is because of the lack of game modes and the fans arent involved in the game. The Crowd does look like PS1 but we can live with that. Unlike Madden, Arena Football Road to Glory has the teams players and coaches arguing calls,coaches motivating his players and sometimes the players can get away with a late hit. The game plays like a real arena game which is basically basketball with pads. Yes 50-40 games are considered low scoring games in the AFL. Well besides the bad crowd graphics and lack of game modes, this is a great 2 player game and until madden stops repeating the graphics on his games (from what I see Madden 04 had the best graphics, the game kept the same graphics from then and kept changing the game modes=no cool points) this a good football fix

More fun than I could have imagined

I bought this game for my stepson's birthday, and it's already my favorite game to play with him. It's a blast! The graphics are good, but what I like best is the challenge of it. Whenever I play one of the Madden games with him, I usually try to let him win, but I have to bend over backwards to do it...like letting him be New England while I take Arizona or something like that. In Arena Football, the game is much more challenging. There's no "letting" anybody win...whoever wins, earned it.
The action is non-stop, so there's never a dull moment.

The only drawback comes if you're used to the Madden games...forget the running game on Arena Football. If you break even on rushing yards, it's a miracle. You might as well go ahead and figure that you will be passing every single play if you expect to have any chance at winning.

My Review Of Arena Football 2007

Arena Football: Road to Glory is a updated version of the EA Sports Arena Football video game from 2006. The new features includes the AFL's sister league, af2 and you can play either season of the AFL or af2. The only minor downside is there is no play-by-play calling, I guess this game was made before the AFL/ESPN deal. But above all that, Arena Football: RTG is a fun and suggested alternative to the Madden/NCAA Football/NFL Street series EA is famous for.

I'm a fan of an arena 2 team, but don't really follow arena football beyond that one team. So I started an AF2 season. Right away, I was able to sign some top free agents, not sure if it should have been that easy to make my team that much better. I lost the first game I played, then haven't lost since. But I'm not really super excited about picking it up and playing either. One of the best parts of arena football is the game night experience, which it doesn't really capture. A lot of the interactions are kinda generic and corny. I've found the controls to be a bit awkward, coming from playing EA NCAA football. On offense, I find the playbook to be a bit thin, not really that interesting. On defense, I tend to use the man defense, weak side blitz every single time, and it still works pretty good. I get far more sacks and qb pressure than I ever see at a af2 game. So I win most games pretty easily, and I rarely see a game that isn't decided until the final few possessions in real life. So thats a bit off. Then I keep unlocking all these teams that means nothing to me. Is that a reward? Should I care? There's just not a lot of replay value for me. I haven't gotten though a season yet, and I'm not really excited about picking it up and playing.

Plain Dumb

I have seen better AI in Nintendo 64 Games and the graphics make it hard to see whats going on. I wish the AFL would make a next-gen game that really rocks.

Four and a half stars here; more fun than NFL Madden

For all intents and purposes, I really could
care less about the NFL. But I still do like
our Carolina Panthers and Madden games are a
bit of selfish fun. The EA Sports Arena game
goes further though in many areas! Players &
Coaches can argue with officials on 'bad' ca-
lls and also Af2 teams can mathc up v. Ar.FL
teams, so there are more combinations you can
play. The Madden with 32 NFL teams just doesn't
compare with the Ar.FL's nearly 50 (ArFL/Af2).
Pick Up on It. Four and a half stars! Way to
go AFL!
