NFL Tour will bring the spectacle of a traveling NFL road show alive, with intuitive controls, fast-paced gameplay, and visually stunning graphics - NFL Tour is action-packed.
NFL Tour is a new NFL licensed video game that offers players a fun and engaging experience with the NFL and its talented players. Gamers will be able to embark on a fictional NFL road show. With real NFL players as teammates, players will travel across the country to play against each of the NFL teams in newly designed stadiums. As players defeat each of the NFL squads, they come one step closer to winning a NFL contract.
"We are extremely excited about our new arcade football game, NFL Tour, which will provide players with a brand new exciting football experience," said Executive Producer Dale Jackson. "NFL Tour is a fun, action-packed football game that will appeal not only to football enthusiasts, but also to casual gamers."
NFL Tour is developed by the EA Tiburon studio in Orlando, FL best known for the award winning Madden NFL Football and NCAA Football® franchises, as well as the NFL Street franchise, and NFL Head Coach introduced in 2006.
NFL Tour will make its way to the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in January 2008.

GameInformer writes: "Let me start this off with a message to the Miami Dolphins: Believe it or not, you're not the only team that's toiled in futility and totally embarrassed yourselves on the football field this year. I thought that in retooling the NFL Street series into NFL Tour EA would actually be improving the franchise and learning from its past mistakes in the sub-genre. Unfortunately, I was mistaken, as NFL Tour represents a total regression – one that the company says is aimed at young kids and football novices who don't play Madden. Even if I take this at face value, it's clear that this game is a failure no matter how you try and qualify it."
