Advice: Budget Football Video Games

Stay connected for news and updates


With the end of the season I'm (even now) beginning to jones a little for football and I just so happen to have a gamestop coupon which I think I'm gonna use for a football game. I'm pretty poor, and I can not spend no $50 or $60 on a video game so here's the question: 

Which budget type football game do you guys recommend?

I have:

Madden 10 ($15 used right now on Gamestop.com),

and NCAA Football 2009 (Stafford starting for my Bulldogs. $5 used)

I also have All Pro football 2k8 ($3 used, and Barry in the backfield? how can you go wrong?)

and NFL Tour. ($7 used) Kinda like the old NFL Street games. Pretty sweet.

Last year, I even purchased Madden Arcade which I love, but no career mode.

Despite this selection (it seems like a lot more games when I actually write it out), I find myself getting a bit bored. So what do you guys think? What is the best budget football game out there?

Some I was considering:

Blood Bowl ($10 new). Gamestop score 7.3/10:

Blitz, The League II ($20 used). Gotta admit, the cover is a little more troubling in lieu of recent events- that look on his face kinda makes me feel like a 16 year old prostitute, where has that finger been, anyway :) Gamestop score: 8.8/10

Backbreaker ($20 new) I remember there was a post about this game but it didn't do so well (sales wise) so I'm not sure about it. Any thoughts? Gamestop score: 7.8/10.

BCFX: The Doug Williams Edition. ($20 new) Don't know anything about this game at all. In fact I never even heard of it before I was doing this search. But a cheerleader on the cover wins points in my book. Gamestop score: 5.4/10

Backyard Football 2010. ($20 used) Gamestop score: 4/10

Keep in mind I don't need a football simulator per se, I just want a game that's fun to play. So let me know what you think in the poll.

Hope this helps anybody else out there thinking of picking up a game for the offseason as well!
