    Re: NFL Blitz Impressions

    It looks like an EA Dev was trying to mask himself and save some feedback by creating a non-dev account and replying with the following. Another shrewd gamer seems to think this as well. The Metacrtic rating is notorious for being EA's method of judging success, he may be right.

    First off, not sure why there's just a bunch of kids on here moaning about NBA Jam OFE when the only things I've heard and experienced for myself were positive:
    http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-...n-fire-edition

    I thought it was better in every way. I see no problem to releasing a better version for 15$ a year later. Geez. You guys are acting like babies. No game is perfect and no game will bring back that same nostalgic feeling as the original version a decade ago. Get over it and yourselves.

    The no custom config thing is not awesome but is very, very standard and no way a reason to deny purchase. The ability to remap controls is less common these days then it used to. On some previous Blitz games you could NOT change controls either. AND why don't you try out the new controls, maybe they are absolutely fine.

    And there's little reason to probably invest development and testing time to custom playbooks when few people would use them. This is a simple, pick up and play arcade game not Madden.

    I swear you guys are just trying to find things to complain about. It's aggravating and probably discourages fan interaction and feedback gathering.

    No custom playbooks or controls do not ruin the experience. If it does, your standards are too high and you should only play those "perfect" 3 games that have been released in the past 20 years.
    It is so evident that you work for EA. Nobody else but Electronic Arts measures a games success by metacritic rating. Did your superiors really want you to do this? Pathetic!

        The one thing I'll say is online play is like butter. Really smooth.

            Thanks for posting this. The jersey situation is ridiculous.

              Please tell me that this is a mistake? Are you sure you saw a #16? He wasn't even on the roster listed.

                Looks a lot like Blitz to me even if it does look a tad slower. Very excited to download this tomorrow on XBLA. Just can't wait to get started playing this online.

                    It’s easier to do the right thing, than to explain why you didn’t.

                      Now someone correct me if I'm wrong but there appears to be a way to create your own team, with logos, etc. I've unlocked some logos but can't figure out how to implement them with a team. I've dove into the Elite Team thing but can't seem to find where you can customize your team other than the players.

                      I'm specifically talking about placing the logos on the sides of the helmets and possibly changing colors of uniforms. If this can't be done then I'm not sure what the logos are doing in the game.

                      Anyone know?

                        What in the world? So the rosters differ from offline & online? Was he there for the entire online game?

                          i havent bought it yet pro will soon

                          question who bought the game

                          is there really no running plays ?
                          is there really no more then 1 page on defensive plays
                          and only 2 pages on offensive ?

                          can you play defensive linemen in the full game

                          why have a rb if there no running plays

                          i was hoping this be like blitz pro that was my favorite blitz game since it was 11-11 instead 7-7 which was like the very first blitz


                          like i only played few mins havent played all the teams yet that u can

                          but overall what i play was fun just disappointed if the things above u cant do if anyone can answer these question i be greatful

                            I have a question, are 2 minutes quarters all you can play? I realize this is not meant to be a football sim but I'd like longer quarters if possible.

                              how in the hell do you run the ball? I cant find any running plays but playing against the computer they have handed the ball off several times - what am I missing here?

                                2 min is all you get. The clock does stop after every play so it's not the bad.
