Wild Card Football is not just a perfect break for the Madden player, but a fantastic throwback to playground football. With recognizable NFL athletes playing in wacky uniforms and stadiums, it’s hard not to have a blast. This is arcade football at its peak; Playground Sports has nailed the nostalgia for PS2 games past.

Wildcard Football is a game that offers arcade-style American football gameplay with three modes: exhibition, season, and dream squad. The game features 32 teams, 11 stadiums, and wild cards that can alter the game in wacky ways. The game also has a card collection system allowing players to create and customize their teams. The game has decent graphics, humor, and cross-play options, but it also has some drawbacks such as not having official teams, long loading times, basic team creator, and repetitive animations. The game is very enjoyable for fans of the sport who want a casual and fun experience. Overall I found it to be great fun in solo play but even more fun in multiplayer regardless if that’s local or online. It’s a game with more positives than negatives and with a few tweaks and additions, it could be a real MVP.

L’expérience arcade de Wild Card Football réussit son pari principal soit celui d’avoir une expérience avant tout amusante. On prend plaisir à créer notre propre équipe, à la personnaliser et à utiliser nos pouvoirs pour surmonter n’importe quel adversaire. Néanmoins, les matchs deviennent rapidement répétitifs et le seul intérêt demeure de jouer en ligne. Une frustration peut alors s’installer en cas d’adversaire prenant un malin plaisir à attendre jusqu’à la fin du compte à rebours. J’aurai peut-être aimé avoir des quarts encore plus courts et pourquoi ne pas couper le match en deux ? Les problèmes techniques semblent aussi grandement nuire au jeu sur certaines plateformes.

While Wild Card Football isn’t NFL Streets or Backyard Football, it carves its niche in the football gaming world with its own unique flavor. It’s a wild, chaotic, and incredibly entertaining take on the sport, perfectly suited for those who want their football experience to be as intense and electrifying as possible.

Wild Card Football is an ambitious take on the sport, with a decent mix of modes and pleasing depth for those keen to go all in. The offline Season mode may keep a lot of Switch players going, but once you dive into the Ultimate Team-style 'Dream Squad' you'll eventually feel the pull to take your hard-earned fantasy roster online. That's where a lack of fluidity and clarity in gameplay can really bite. A sport as frantic as American Football needs a slightly slicker performance level than we found here. However it's only just short of a first-down, so if you're happy to live with the compromises then this may still be worth a punt.
