    EA BIG never failed. EA just foolishly discontinued it.

    NFL Street 2 will always a part of my memories. I still remember the times when I was a little kid and me and my friends would invite each other to come over and play NFL Street 2 because the game was that good

    First two NFL Streets were goated. Street 3 wasn’t bad, had some cool ideas, but felt rushed. And let’s just forget NFL Tour even happened.

      NFL Street 3 was garbage. Should have had it like how they did NBA Street v3. Nothing crazy but a few tweaks.

    Everyone loves to complain about why entertainment companies don’t like to take risks. What happened to Midway and what happened to EA Sports BIG during 2008 is exactly why!

    EA Sports Big should’ve never went away, Imagine if EA Sports Big was still around with the PS5 and Series X. The Sports gaming genre would be way different then what we have today.

    NBA Street Vol 2 and SSX Tricky were perfect, so of course, EA Sports Big followed those up with lackluster sequels and then stopped making them entirely.

    The Street series didn't fail, they stopped making them because they sell less than simulation games.
    Return on investment is much greater for games like Madden and NBA Live.

    Nobody has EVER given me a good reason why NFL Street 3 is bad. That game is great and imo, the best in the series. It just dosen’t make sense why it gets hate.

    • @MikeBNumba6
      @MikeBNumba6 3 месяца назад +1

      It was hands down the best in the series. But it came out at the end of the ps2 life cycle. Xbox 360 and ps3 was being released. A lot of people just didn't play it

    Let's be honest, NFL games are never going to be worldwide bestsellers. Outside America very few people even care about the mainstream NFL games in comparion o the juggernaut that is FIFA, even less were ever going to care about an arcadey Street version. And I guess it comes down to development costs vs sales, developing a game almost specifically for one country just isn't cost effective
