Electronic Arts has announced that its latest gridiron grizzly is ready to hit the streets, as NFL Street 2 has gone gold. Expanding on its predecessor's successful concept, Street 2 throws exaggerated moves into the mix that include the ability for receivers to run off of walls and execute dazzling wall jukes and, new to the series, hurdles. The game is set to feature seven new modes of play, including Crush the Carrier and Jump Ball Battles, which can be played on Bay City's ten fresh new environments. And to top things off, it's online.

NFL Street 2 makes its move into stores on December 26, and should help a bit with shrugging off that post-Christmas blues.
