Let’s get one thing straight: I don’t know much about American Football, but I sure do like the spectacle. Wild Card Football, is a new American Football game that’s more NFL Street than Madden, and all the better for it. If your idea of a good time is men the size of a double door fridge freezer running into each other, then Wild Card Football is good times all the way down.
This is because, unlike Madden, Wild Card Football has a card-based system that lets you power-up your team during a given Down by speeding up your players, slowing down the enemy, buffing your strength or even just manifesting tornados or bumpers onto the field, throwing the game into disarray. Each match feels like a 7v7 brawl, which is a lot of fun, even if the finer details of American Football are lost on me.
