NFL Blitz (XBL/PSN)
The NFL Blitz franchise is being revived with EA handing off development of a new game to their EA Tiburon studio (Madden series) and will use the NBA Jam announcer for calling the action.

Besides the usual 30-yard downs and 2 minute quarters, EA announced they are expanding and packing in a lot new features for the upcoming game such as a survival mode called Blitz Gauntlet and the use of "Blitz Bucks" as currency for the game.

Similar to Madden cards, Blitz cards will unlock players, teams, cheats, and enhancements which can be used in online and local multiplayer matches.

Also hinted but not detailed was the ability to customize game modes and mutliplayer matches revolving around a "risk-reward" style involving the betting of Blitz cards.

No actual release date was given but EA has said the game will be released around the time of this season's NFL playoffs (early 2012 release date). No platforms were revealed either but its assumed at least an Xbox 360 and PS3 version will be made.

Quick News Round-Up:
1) Update on the "Scrolls" lawsuit involving Mojang and Bethseda as Team Mojang won their court case allowing the company to keep the name of their current project. The court rejected all claims and momentary damages brought by Bethseda and their parent company in their attempt to have exclusive rights to the "Scrolls" name.

2) Achievements for the Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed Revelations were leaked with the big ones involving a lower max experience cap in multiplayer, Desmond specific achievements, and 2 related to previously unannounced historical landmarks in the game.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/spoi...ievements-leak

3) Capcom announces Monster Hunter 3G will not have online multiplayer and instead follow the PSP route of local/ad-hoc only. The game itself is a portable version of Monster Hunter Tri from the Wii but will still have 3D capabilities in exchange for the online modes the Wii and console versions of the series usually have.
Fucking hope that's a 15 buck XBL download, because I'll probably still buy it at 40 on disc. Blitz is one of my favorite franchises of all time. I could play it and Tecmo for ages and never have to play a modern football game again.

I'm also a stupid sucker for NFL Street. I love arcade sports games of just about any kind.

I own the PC version of 2000 to occasionally run on my MAME box, and I've got a Dreamcast and a copy of the game there too.

Blitz: The League wasn't awful. I actually managed a good amount of enjoyment from it. I never did much like passing in that game though, as it seemed the slow-down mechanic was one of the few ways to make it super successful.

That's probably why I like Street so much. Passing and rushing are both viable strategies. I wish Blitz had some more viable rushing options than quick passes and QB draws.

Personally, I found the Street series to be a better arcade football game than Blitz. It translated actual football into a simplified scheme (taught me how to read and exploit zone defenses in a way Madden never did - and it that knowledge translated to actual Madden). Blitz, while fun, was regressive. Sure it didn't aim to teach you football football like NBA Jam cared about actual basketball but Street hooked me that way.

None of this means I won't be on Blitz as the recent Jam is damned good. I just miss EA Big's offerings.

NBA Jam: OFE is really good. It's everything the disc release should have been. I was going to post about it in the "currently playing" thread once I get 200/200 gs (I know )

If there was an actual season this year and they allowed maybe 3 roster updates during the year and included a tournament or online season mode, then the 9 year old in me would have thought this was the perfect game ever.

Only gripe is the campaign ("Road Trip") took way too fucking long.

Unless it's the Arcade Edition 2012 tourny so I can defend my title.

Or a SFxT tag team tourny, which would be way more interesting but complicated as shit.

Something that I wish they could address (but won't (because they can't)) is the lag. It's what takes the fun out of NBA Jam: OFE and made Tecmo Bowl unplayable. All that is needed in NBA Jam: OFE is a quick press from one direction to the other to get open for a shot. Because of the arcade-dy-ness of the game and it's mechanics, you really need those extra .0001 of a second to properly react and defend. Even on the best connection, it's still difficult to play. But that goes with online gaming I suppose.

Fucking Tecmo Bowl was unplayable online.

And maybe make the AI ramping up the difficulty in order to keep the score close not so fucking blatent this time. When having a lead against the Heat, I cannot inbound the ball. At All. Even as Steve Nash and doing spin moves and going up or down or in between them, it won't matter. If the AI doesn't want you to have the ball then it will be so.

I hope they disguise that better in Blitz.

I played through all of NBA Jam on disc, and recently Goozexed it away. Should I even get OFE? The friend I played the game with moved way far away, but bought OFE, but I don't really want to play it all again if its really the exact same game. I watched GiantBomb play it on TNT, and besides the new ridiculous shots and the roster update, I didn't notice a big change to anything.

Don't bother because the single player is too long. They made it a lot easier to team-up online so you can play with/against people but like I said the lag kind of throws off the timing of the game.

You can also invite your buddy and do co-op in the single player mode... which I guess wouldn't make single player. It's the campaign mode "Road Trip" and I think you both keep your progress on your own profile but I'm not sure. I don't see why it wouldn't do that though.

But if you just finished the disc version, then I wouldn't bother.

That's what I figured. If my friends begs me to buy it I probably will, but I figured I was getting more points from Goozex than I would spend on the download for an updated version of the game, so I figured I might as well do it.

Take it with a grain of salt but a potential rumor concerns the NFL might force EA to take out the post-play attacks (ex. Hogan style leg drops to the head/body) in response to the new focus on concussion awareness the NFL is pushing.

If its true, then the NFL probably wants to extend the idea of no hits to the head to include even arcade-style games. It already affected Madden this year in terms of injuries.

so dumb.... i wish midway was still around to continue blitz the league. Blitz the league 2 was even better. Plus the fictional characters based on real players and the storyline was pretty awesome.

Ugh. I'd rather they dropped the NFL license rather than tone it down on their whims.

Blitz: The League was also the man.

Even though I don't watch football, I loved the NFL Blitz games back in the day, if I see it for 10 bucks or something I might be tempted.

For the record, Madden Arcade was horrible. Hope they don't rehash it or some shit.

Went back and watched the interview (its from EGM if you really want to hear it, but its not really worth posting) and he never specifically says the late-hits have been taken out. That being said, no late hits are seen in the two or three minutes of gameplay they show either.

EA finally confirms the NFL forced them to take out the late hits and other after-the-whistle sneak attacks from the game.

Quote:
“They understand that it’s not a simulation and they understand that it’s over-the-top, but at the end of the day they really felt like, with the messaging that they have, and with their stance on player health and safety, that it was something that was better left out of the game at this point.”
No response on if they are also going to be forced to remove helmet-to-helmet hits or other brutal hits to the head during the in-game action.

WWE didn't have a problem with their wrestlers looking like roid freaks in All Stars. The NFL shouldn't care about late hits. :foc:

EA announces they are holding a public vote during this year's Spike TV's VGA show to determine who will be the cover athlete for the game.

Only 3 choices available between Roddy White, Ray Rice, and Patrick Willis.
