NFL Football 2006 promises to bring great art, animation and huge AI improvements and will feature all 32 NFL teams as well as a full season of 16 games, the playoffs and the Super Bowl. NFL Skills Challenge, meanwhile, lets mobile gamers compete as their favorite player in passing, rushing, receiving and kicking contests.

“THQ has worked hand in hand with the NFL and PLAYERS INC to create the first 11-on-11 wireless football game, complete with standout features such as full season play and player stat tracking, just like in traditional console games,” said Tim Walsh, president of THQ Wireless. “With the addition of a one-button arcade-style game and several new player ringtones, THQ Wireless is proud to build upon its premier sports offerings and deliver for fans an NFL product lineup that is second to none.”
