The game Arena Football is a virtual representation of the real-life sport known by the same name. It employs the same engine as the Madden Series games. Thus there are many similarities between the two, but the gameplay is very different because of the distinct rules that apply to arena football. The game is played inside with eight players per team on a field that is fifty yards long. There are barriers along the sidelines and uprights of the field, which cause balls that generally go out of bounds in American football to bounce back into the playing area instead. At this current point, it is still deemed to be live. Because of this change, the game will move much quicker, and the points will be worth more.
A coach’s pick, which will recommend plays, a telemetry view, which lets you see how tired both your players and the opposing ones are along with passing routes so that you can set good match-ups, a quick play mode, a season mode, which allows you to go up to 20 seasons and trade players, fixed salaries, etc., practice, and online play are all included as features of the game.
The Arena Football League has given its formal blessing for Arena Football to be licensed, and the game features all of the teams and players from the 2006 season. The New Orleans VooDoo are omitted because they skipped the current season due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina; nevertheless, their logo is accessible to be used by newly formed teams. A large number of units from the past are also available.
