Better than Madden???

I just heard about NFL Street coming out. I want this game so badly after seeing screenshots from it. Finally a football game that resembles how me and my buddies used to play during our younger days. It's got all of the players currently in the NFL, and it even has some of the legends like Barry Sanders! I think what's really cool about this game is that none of the players wear helmets, so you can actually see their faces in detail. I'm pretty sure its a 7 on 7 game, which also makes it much simpler than most football games on the market. There are a ridiculous amount of special features on this game. And it's for sure coming out for PS2, but I'm not too sure about XBox. If someone could tell me what systems its coming out for, and whether it's as good as Madden, I'd really appreicate it. Thanks!

Now that the game has been released and the general public begins to get a <I>feel</I> of the game I doubt if comparisons to Madden are valid.

Madden seems to aim at being a more <i>realistic</i> football sim-type of game where as NFL Street seems more to be a pure <i>arcade</i> style game in the tradition of NFL Blitz, etc.

So which one is better would most likely depend on what your gaming style and choice of gameplay tends to be.

Do you like unrealistic arcade-type games or do you prefer realistic sim-style games is probably the real question more than which is the <i>better</i> game.
