Passing rules in Arena Football are the same as outdoor NCAA Football in which receivers must have one foot inbounds. A unique exception involves the rebound nets. A forward pass that rebounds off of the end zone net is a live ball and is in play until it touches the playing surface.

Think Arena Football is a fad? Think again. This sport has been around for more than two decades, growing in popularity each year thanks to a brand of non-stop action that resonates with fans who like their pigskin played with reckless abandon.

If you're not already a fan of the sport, Arena Football will make you re-learn all the things you've learned about the pigskin. You have a 50 yard field, with hockey-styled boards instead of sidelines meaning there's no stoppage of play until the ball carrier is either knocked down or over the wall. It's ... Ironman football, with the same athletes playing on both sides of the ball. Receivers are able to make forward motions before the snap, giving them a good shot at getting a jump on their opposing defender. There are two linebackers, named the Jack and Mac, and only one is able to blitz the Quarterback. Your first few games may result in a slew of penalties, since you may be used to tactics in Madden or other football games that won't fly in the AFL.

The available modes out of the box in Arena Football are about on par with what you would expect from a first-year release. Your standard Exhibition and Practice modes are there, as well an accurate but slightly thin Season Mode. You’ll find your standard fare with things like Free Agency, but the off-season does not have the same allure that you’ll find in other football titles. Because the dynamics of the business side of the AFL are very different than the NFL, a unique owner mode for Arena Football would be a welcomed addition in future releases. Or, perhaps more interesting would be something like Madden’s Superstar Mode. Remember, a lot of Arena Football players have “real jobs� too.
