At last, with the smell of freshly mowed grass and really sweaty shoulder pads in the air, the brand new Angry Birds: Philadelphia Eagles web game is live! Be forewarned, football fans: The Angry Birds have no tangible running game, so it’s pass-pass-pass all day long. The game is playable at the Eagles’ Facebook page.
Most of this information was already known (see our post from last week), but we will restate the goodies here for completeness.
- 16 Levels: One per week that Philadelphia plays. The level is unlocked the Monday prior to the actual game. The Eagles have their “Bye Week” on the weekend of 21 October, so no level on the 22nd. (A tad inconsistent with the scheduling.)
- “Playoffs? Don’t talk about playoffs! You kidding’ me?!” (Jim E. Mora, former head coach for the Colts) Anyways, back to topic: No word on if more levels would be added if the Eagles make the playoffs. I think it would be a nice bonus, personally, but it’s hard to create levels on such a narrow timeframe.
- Pro tip!. Green pigskins are worth 5000 points!!
- Mighty Philadelphia Eagle! Summonded by a football (surprise), he behaves the same way as the classic Mighty, with a little tumble after the apex of his perfect “V”. Achieving both 3-stars and Total Destruction earns the touchdown achievement and your level shines gold on the Level Selection screen!
- Data saving issue! We are looking into this, but for now it seems to be an issue. Refer to Key’s comment below for help (thanks Key!)

Just re posting from the other thread for the people that didn’t see.
Just to let you know so you don’t lose any game progress this game dose not save on your Facebook.
I am on Windows 7 and it saved to
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\xxxxxxxx\philadelphia-eagles.appspot.com\flash\AngryBirdsPhiladelphiaEagles.swf\ABEagle.sol
hello, i’m on XP and i cant save this game. i create the folder but where the file .sol ?? thx for explain how can i do for save my progress.
On win XP, is diffrent, just try C:\Documents and Settings\usern name\Application Data\ or Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\ and follow above.
This is an awesome web game! I think this is one of the best ones yet!
A question for those of you who know these things. What is the technical reason that the Eagles would have chosen to not save the game data. For me anyway, losing the feather and star each week dramatically, even completely, reduces my incentive to play the game.
^^ See above
Thanks, Slim.
IMO the mighty P.E. goes wider instead of straight down then straight up like the original M.E….. but still fun, cant wait till week 8 ;)
I’m waiting for weeks 11 and 16.
lucky, you get your team on there twice
This is my week. Awkward!
I can’t play it…
What browser are you using? I could not play it on Safari. But on Chrome it worked. Unbelievable.
Why not?
I use Chrome.
I use Chrome as well, but it works fine on my computer. Although there are some lags.
The 3 stars don’t show up on the level selection page when I 3 star it. Wonder why.
Same problem here. But the feather works fine.
I have a problem there too. I got 100%, but when I went at it again and got 56%, that was my NEW FEATHER SCORE. I do hope Rovio fixes this soon.
Yeah, it’s just like @amslimfordy told above and what you can read below as well, it doesn’t remember the scores.
TernIt’s fun, but why next Web Game ? I’m sick of them. I wish rovio would release an app that would have all of this levels like Heikki, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Day etc. I want to play this on my mobile, not on internet, when i must jump from one side to another
It’s fun, of course :D
Impossible to finance that.
Why do you think so ?
They would have to pay ALL of those companies for permission to use their name in a collaborative app. Just way too many wheels to grease.
Slim..
May depend on who’s doing the greasing! If Rovio goes to the NFL to ask permission, yes you’d expect them to pay a royalty off of any game released on any platform other than the web.. however, if you go to Rovio, and partner up.. Rovio should expect to be paid to do the work.
You are missing an important distinction. Companies would be very willing to grant rights for a game on their individual company. However they’d be hesitant to be mixed in with a dozen others.
The Philadelphia Eagles game would be easiest to re-release as a standalone, if it would happen. All that would be required would be any reference, visual or otherwise, to both the Eagles franchise, and the NFL.
That doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen, though!
I won’t deny that, but for 16 levels, I doubt this many strings would be pulled.
Yep. That’s why I hedged as I did.
Not missing so much as a distinction…
NFL teams are individually owned.. in this case, because it’s a famous US sport, the Eagles are the closest thing to Rovio’s Mighty Eagle. There’s still.. the:
Falcons.
Seahawks.
Cardinals.
Ravens.
Any of which,.. could result in a new AB online, or other platform game. This could also be said for any other professional, or otherwise, sport that represents a “bird” in the name.
I made a comment some time ago.. that the birds franchise from Rovio.. could be expanded exponentially because there are hundreds of avenues to explore.
Sports.. movies.. nature. The game could go on for years and years to come. If Rovio decided to take a walk thru nature, they wouldn’t have to pay anyone rights to use a commercial interest.
But when it comes to business, it’s usually those that come to you, that pay an additional fee to join in the fun.
So the game will be finished on the 24 of Dec.That is a very long time but I can wait.Love the MPE.Tomorrow is “Freddie for a day”.Still waiting for ABS v.2.5.1 for Android,I realy can’t play with the bugs.And the 27 of Sept. the new app,but if this game is a web game that meant that there will be an other game that will be an app.We can just wait.
The only bug fixed in 2.5.1 is the Christmas bug, and I don’t think there’s any bugs which really inhibit gameplay.
Read the post update about that. It’s not a web app.
I don’t think it makes any sense that they’re releasing a level on a bye week.
They just flip-flopped which week should be off, which I said in the post.
Tried to get the FB game to play through the iPad and the Eagles FB site said I had to have Adobe Flash Player. Tried to load AFPlayer from the Apple App Page and it was not available.
Any advice?
You need to play it on a pc.
Thanks key for the advice
Apple and Adobe have never really gotten along. It’s one of the key differences in Android vs. Apple – the ability to run Flash.
@dr-omega Thanks for the response. Had no idea, thanks for the educational update
@wrw01, can’t play FB games on ipad, it won’t load the Flash Player, this is done deliberately. There may be a way to overcome this, but it’s beyond my limited abilities. I play them on my PC.
@karen68 Thanks for the advice. I am on the working on the road and had some down time in a hotel so I thought to give it a try. Will have to wait till Friday.
Your welcome @wrw01. Safe travels.
And even if you install a Flash player, the site still knows its an iPad and will direct you elsewhere.
Thanks @amslimfordy. Had no idea about the limitations of Flash player, apple, pc, etc. Very educational day.
I hate html 5 games… This version is like ABchrome. Lags a lot. If it was a flash game like ABf then would continue to play it
This is Flash.
You’re sorely mistaken. This IS Flash.
It’s one of the worst web games ever. The level is boring, and you can’t even play it on full screen.
Awesome! So looking forward to playing it
Got a touchdown! It seems as if the MPE doesn’t enter the screen until the football stands still, unlike ME.
yes @dorito, i’m not a fan of that feature
Ha! Click on the “i” for the credits and watch what happens in the background! LOL
The exact same thing happenes in the Information screen on ABFriends, but still, good thinking :)
Bug here: when I get three stars, it won’t show up on the level selection screen. Feathers work fine, though.
I don’t have this issue. Strange.
I got two stars, it won’t show up even…..
yeah same here
My computer show star.
But why i can’t see achievement show when i 3 star level?
@amslimfordy the new game is announced- Bad Piggies! badpiggies.com pig with freckles?
We already updated our post.
I wonder why they did not add the Poached Eggs levels to this game. Normally they add those levels to all new games.
It’s not a “permanent” game, but rather a seasonal partnership using the same format as Heikki.
I don’t have Facebook and I can play the game! Is that normal?
Anyway, it is a great game! The MPE is funny! Looking forward to more levels soon! :)
It’s not an FB app, I think
You don’t need a FB account to play these levels. You DO need one for ABFriends, but that contains a leaderboard and all.
87.450 on the 1st level… Did it as a one-birder…
I have scored 3 stars on the 1st level, why doesn’t the home-screen show the stars? It doesn’t even show a single star!
Some other people have said this. We don’t have any information to share.
And also, I have just scored the 3-star score and the MFEagle-feather and it said that I’ve won the ‘TouchDown’-achievement. Where can I view that? Oh, and I love the slow-motion effect just after the MFEagle-impact :)
Not viewable besides the level appearing gold on the selection screen.
Oh ok, but I don’t really think that you have the solution to this problem yet, and I really hope that I am not the only one, but my high score and MFEagle-feather have disappeared after going back to the game :( Now I have to do it over again.
See the post.
I love this game. I still dont know the strat for getting a feather. I do have three stars
See the walkthrough page. There are a couple of TD strats there.
PE has strange trajectory and its hard to get feather
I just want to add my moment of silence for Art Modell, not all of us Cleveland Browns Fans are heartless…..
Whoa, not happy with this one. Data saving issues, the PE’s trajectory is very strange, and I do not like the fact that the football has to be STILL for the eagle to come “Bouncing” in.
Yeah, all my data just got deleted today and the highest I can ever get for a feather is 85% since I’m not used to the trajectory of the PE.
I got the same issue – feather from the first one stayed, but score didn’t. Luckily, I backed up last time, copied the file and it worked great.
Still can’t pass the PME on this one, though. I tried all night. I got up to 98% but can’t get more. I’m out of ideas.
All my data was saved on my computer. I did not need to be logged in to facebook.
I could even change the browser. I changed from Safari to Chrome and the data was still there.
Im trying to dowmload the philadelphia eagles version of angry birds to my andriod samsung admire. Can it be done and can u please tell me how to download this game ive been trying since Oct. Of last year.HELP
Sorry Jason, the game is only available for computers on Facebook.
