That is a shame, I happened to have some microsoft points on my account and thought I would get this game with them. Unless i'm missing something here, I can't see this game on the UK marketplace.

Do Microsoft not realise that there are people from outside the US who enjoy American football?

Have a good one guys.

Looks that way. They'll probs give us 3 (crap) xbla titles next week to 'make up for it' though.

Well, I don't know much about American Football and wasn't interest as well. But when I saw some gameplay footage, I wanted to give the trial version a try because it looked fun as hell. But no luck...

Can anyone explain why it didn't get released in Europe? I know most Europeans don't even know what the NFL is and it probably wouldn't sell well over here. But it's distributed digitally so what's the problem?

Does it cost extra to release an Arcade game in several regions or is it a licensing issue?

Don't be to bummed out they took out the funnest part of the game. (Late Hits) It seems like a very minor thing to take out, but to me that's what really made the game fun. (could be a cheat code in the game but i highly doubt they would do something like that.)

Create a US account. Add points. Purchase. Play. Problem solved

Was just looking for this on the dashboard but couldn't find it...guess I know why now. Slightly disappointed its not released in the uk, might give backbreaker vengeance a try instead

Can't fault them. It's like Cricket games in the US --- they just don't get released because so few people here are interested (or, honestly, aware of) in it. The NFL has tried to expose Europe to the sport and interest is really, really low.

Yeah it's pretty terrible for that stuff overall. Thankfully at least I can play my cricket games by importing them here in Canada due to PS3 not having region locks
