I played this at a video game convention and was VERY impressed. A great break from the overcroweded Madden and very easy to play. Good job, midway!

Not what i thought it would be......

This game is fun but i thought it would be alot better than this.First off the graphics are okay but not he best.Its fun to break tackles and break bones in this game with big hits!But the loading period is way to long.Its not like Madden or your typical football game in a way its like street.Please RENT THIS GAME before you buy it and waste money on it.Luckily i rented it and saved 40 or 50 dollars.But if you loved the old Blitz games like i did you should love this one as well.

football fan of watching and playing

i have been playing football on xbox for awhile now. i used to like madden but for some reason it seemed like the players were not running on the field they were sliding. so since for some reason nfl 2k6 has yet to come out , i've needed a new football game for the new season. the commercial for nfl blitz made my mind up very quickly. the best thing i like is the trash talk of the defense, and the breaking peoples bones is very cool. it is also cool to give your players illegal drugs to enhance their playing ability. the only thing i wish is that they could throw a few actual nfl players in to the game. i've been hooked on it ever since i got it. it also has cheerleaders with their butts hanging out. i think that whoever wants a football game that has hard hits in it, than blitz is defitently what your looking for.

Not what I expected...

I first heard about this game when it received negative attention in the newspapers for being so violent. I then heard it was being "endorsed" by Lawrence Taylor (because once you show up in the wrestling ring, it's all downhill from there). This game was very disappointing. The storyline is AWEFUL. The cut scenes look very archaic and are, well, boring. If you play in full season mode, your objective is to win the league championship. If you do, the mayor has agreed to back a bill that has the taxpayers footing the money for the new stadium. You get to hire coaches and draft 2 whole players! By winning a game you win money. The money can be used to purchase equipment upgrades and illegal performance enhancers for your team. The drug angle seems very intriguing at first, but it's not. It's lame. I had a QB who suffered a broken forearm and I injected him with something that cost me $25,000 and he was able to play in the next game. I know, that's the point of Blitz, but this one is SO far out there I wouldn't recommend it. Honestly, 2.5 stars is what I'd really like to give it. SAVE YOUR MONEY. RENT THE GAME FIRST.

We may need Terminix on this one..............

I would sincerely love to tell you how much I liked and/or disliked this game; the problem is that I cant get it to play on playstation2 for longer than 1:47 into the first quarter without it crashing..over and over and over again....and no my playstation2 is fine if thats what youre thinking. This game has obviously not been properly tested (before they unleashed it onto the gaming market), for bugs and programming problems. I have NEVER played a playstation2 game that has crashed as consistently or as often as this piece of garbage, and it seems to me that they spent a hell of alot more cash marketing this turd, than actually making sure the game played smoothly and without problems. To me that sucks big time and it pisses me off a great deal. I think it may have had the potential to be a great football game, had it not been for their rush to get it out without proper testing. Its just a good thing these clowns arent making cars (or parachutes). Unfortunately I wouldnt recommend it, unless you want to wait for the first waive of recalls, and maybe pick it up after they get it to work. The game IS very good for listening to gangsta rap while you wait for the graphic engine to start running again (during yet another crash), that is if the audio doesnt start skipping indefinitely first. I think whoever made this game should have stuck to writing code for "Zork" on the Commodore 64, because PS2 is obviously out of their league, and I for one am getting my money back. If you want to get really aggravated and ruin your night, this is a must buy!! I award Lawrence Taylor no points..and may god have mercy on his soul....

well......its ok

To start off ive played all the blitz games before and Blitz;the league well... I though it was going to be better than what it was hyped up to be. If you have seen the videos for this game, the graphics look awesome. But the graphics arent as good as they look in the videos. The game takes about 2mins to load/save just for a simple thing. Theres no point for some of the cursing in this game and the clash mode is pretty cheap. If you want a fun blitz game get the blitz pro...thanks for listening

Not for the little ones

This game is awesome if you want some bone rattling, intense playing. However, even I was a little disappointed in the whole snapping the quarterback's finger in the beginning. The language puts this game well into the league of older teens and adults. The worst part of this game is how ridiculously long everything takes to load. Be prepared for an hour long ordeal, even when only playing two minute quarters. I think my only other gripe is the actual fighting in the game. I think you get to watch through plain eyes from the blimp above, everything is so small. All in all, the nonstop action during gametime and the brutal hits are great, and yeah, some have expressed the wish of having real players in the game, but they need to realize, the player's association won't back this series anymore due to the graphic nature of it, therefore, no pros. But LT was a bad dude, he'll do for now.

Computer too cheap to be fun

This game seemed to have good potential with good music, good and fun gameplay, and nice features like customizing your teams and players. Unfortunately, the AI in one-player mode is the cheapest I have ever seen (even with difficulty level set to easy). For example, don't expect the opposing team to need more than 20 seconds to score on you.

The opposing punt returners are evidentally he-man capable of busting through five guys consistenly to always return no less than 60 yards. When I return a punt, even with my clash turned on, I get laid out like floor tile as soon as the first guy touches me. Even worse, if I am fast enough to juke a couple time and actually get some yardage on my return, as soon as sometone hits me I fumble at least half the time.

Usually on the second or third play of the opposing team's drive they thow the most beautiful pass you've ever seen and all of the idiots on my team are no where to be found (no matter what play I call in the huddle). I swear, I have to be the one to make the tackle like 80% of the time. And if my guys are actually covering someone, a majority of the time they get pushed aside or run over like a little girl.

As for the throwing game--even when my guys are wide open they drop the ball at least half the time. Even after you upgrade your guys and buy nice gloves for them, whenever you throw to them the ball will bounch out of their hands twice, then float about ten yards over to the left, and then: interception!!! Needless to say, my running game is my only hope of ever scoring.

The play book is really skimpy too. Seriously, I have like three running moves, and one of them is an awful fake that fails every time. How many times can I use those before they start moving their entire line up to the left because that is where all my running plays go?

This game might be fun with a buddy, but playing the campaign mode against the computer is enough to bring even Lawrence Taylor to tears.

3/5

I think that Blitz the Leaque is a pretty good game. One reson why I like it is because of the gameplay and graphics. One thing that i don't really like about it is that it reminds me of NFL street.

game ok

This game is OK but I really think it is just a copy off of NFL street just a bit more for teens and adults. really over all the game stinks and NFL street is way better.
