Also enjoyed watching Justin Tuck run down a wide open Welker (they blitzed) using turbo that had at least a 15 yard lead. There's arcade then there's ridiculous. Perhaps the best one was when I was playing as the 49ers where instead of throwing it downfield to the wide open Crabtree it's thrown to Gore who is behind the line. Out of curiousity I attempted to target Crabtree again and throw it with Gore. Gore threw it back to Alex Smith. Also of note is the lack of throwing the ball when you're about to get sacked. It'll make the motion but the ball won't come out. Not an issue for the AI,if they try to throw they get it off. Even in about 0.5 seconds. The only bit of fun was returning a punt with Patrick Willis. See you can't really tell who you're picking on defense,you can't even play as the linemen btw and I had called a normal play expecting them to go for it on 4th & 2 at the 40 or so and because it's very difficult to tell one player from another I ended up with Willis back there. Finally I only played the trial and wouldn't buy this gar-bagé anyway but was expecting to be offered a discount with the season ticket,there wasn't one. NASCAR and NHL 13 have their hands full to compete for the worst of the year already!

This just sounds like you are terrible at any Blitz games.

I'm about to try this out in a minute. IGN gave it a good review.

My only real complaint is that you HAVE to play online to unlock anything, and online control lag makes kicking essentially random.

Aside from that... It's NFL Blitz. It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect it to be - although the lack of late hits does make it feel a little bit nerfed. The lack of uniform selection isn't a big deal for me - I actually *like* seeing the Raiders/49ers as a black vs red game. It's only a problem if it matches up 2 teams with the same colored jerseys, but I haven't had that happen yet.

So, for a $15 game, I'll give it a thumbs up.

Nope. You can't.

All this negative talk is making like the game more.


Play the game for what it is, not for what you thought it should be.

If anyone wants to get some games in online on the 360 my GT is jdav1s420. I'd rather play people from OS than randoms.

I encourage everyone to play the 2 vs. 2 modes.

Multiplayer is what Blitz is all about.

1 vs. 1 matches are pretty dull, especially against the CPU.
