I’m dreaming of a spiritual successor to NFL Street… but without the NFL

Hear me out: imagine NFL Street — the over-the-top, arcade football with crazy tackles and trick moves — but with no NFL license, no restrictions, just pure street football chaos.

Here’s what I’ve been thinking so far:

Locations:

• Parking lot outside a high school lunchroom
• Field in the middle of the walking track outside
• High school football stadium for Friday night lights/franchise mode
• Someone’s backyard
• Soccer field near a skatepark
• Mall parking lot

Each area would have its own vibe, and even the uniforms change depending on where you play — hoodies and cargo shorts in the parking lot, casual backyard clothes for backyard games, streetwear in the mall lot, and full stylized jerseys in the stadium.

Art style:

• Almost like NFL Street, but cel-shaded for a bold, vibrant look.
• Characters have exaggerated proportions, big expressive animations, and unique silhouettes.
• Environments are colorful, gritty, and full of street art, with stylized lighting and dynamic effects on tackles, passes, and trick plays.

Gameplay idea:

• Mix of arcade football with environmental hazards and interactive obstacles (trampolines, benches, half-pipes, cars).
• Fast-paced, over-the-top, and customizable — you could create your own team, your own look, your own street football story.

I really want to see a game that captures the fun and swagger of NFL Street without being tied down by licensing, realism, or the same old stadiums.

Would anyone else play a game like this?
