Electronic Arts announced
the development of NFL Street 2, scheduled for release in early 2005 under the EA SPORTS BIG
brand. The title is being developed by EA-Tiburon for the PlayStation 2, the Nintendo
GameCube and Xbox. Since its release in January 2004, NFL Street has sold more than 1.5
million copies and was the second best-selling NFL videogame for the 2003 football season
behind Madden NFL 2004.
NFL Street 2 has been completely redesigned and reinvented
challenging players to change the way the game is played. In addition to several new game
modes, EA-Tiburon has added a whole new dimension to the game with interactive wall moves
and style catches. NFL Street 2 will be online for Xbox Live as well as the PlayStation 2
console. The first video for the game will be released on the Madden NFL 2005 game disc in
the EA SPORTS Extras
section.
