Ah no sorry,I've played every Blitz game,this one just sucks. Plus the last game I played before deleting this trash I was up 29-14 and that's only a half. I'm sure the famous Blitz catch up AI would've kicked in during the 2nd half. Poor controls,poor targeting (up and right = backwards?) and Tuck running down Welker with a 15 yard lead aren't my fault.

Blitz has always had catchup logic on breakaway runs.
Nothing new there.
As in previous Blitz games, you can juke players diving at you from behind to make them miss.
If you don't like the default passing style, you can change to icon passing in the option screen.Last edited by jyoung; 01-05-2012, 04:37 PM.Comment

If you go back and play the original it would still happen.
It's been like that in EVERY Blitz game.Moderator

Yeah, it's the only way scores don't end up in the hundreds every game. This being an arcade game, Zig-Zagging can be useful if your opponent has control of the lead guy chasing you. Other than that, don't blow all your Turbo early in the play and you can at least pick up some yardage before getting pulled down.
Fun game, reminds me a lot of the old times minus the late hits. Started actually winning a few games online once I remembered how to keep a back in to block. Helps shut down the guys who think they're playing Tecmo Super Bowl and try to dive through the line at the snap.
I'm probably the only person who actually punts and kicks FG's in this game, but it's worth it to me, especially if I can bury a punt inside the opponents 5. It's like a free shot on the QB for a safety because you know you'll catch up even if you get burned.
Also, shoving down a reciever mid-route to prevent him from making that 3rd catch to go on fire is gratifying in its own way.

Good example of the catch-up in the original at 4:50 of this video (and probably others, since it happens on every play)

Re: NFL Blitz Available Now For PS3, Tomorrow For 360 - Post Your Impressions Here
Played 6 games online so far and surprised that no one has done the strategy of knocking down WR's at the line. Seems like everyone takes the safety and just blitzes the QB, usually letting me hit an easy double pass for a big game.
Kicking online is a crapshoot though with the lag. I missed 2 short FG's in a game only to hit one from midfield to force OT. I ended up just closing my eyes while I kicked it since I figured I had just as good a chance as trying to time it.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment

I played my first game online last night against a wildmanbill or something like that. He would knock down all of my wr's and rb's right off the line. Albeit a great strategy but it really turned me off to playing other blitz folks online. Hopefully that isn't how everyone plays. He also used the packers which I'm guessing is a cheap team online. I checked the leader boards and he was ranked #2 so I was proud to have only lost 7-27.Played 6 games online so far and surprised that no one has done the strategy of knocking down WR's at the line.

Anybody know how to counteract that strategy?Comment

You can motion one player in the backfield before the snap with left/right on the L-Stick. If you motion him to the opposite side the guy is playing on, there's no way he'll be able to knock all your receivers out off the line. Many plays have the receivers spread to each side anyway, so he can't start the play by knocking out one, and then switching to knock out the guy on the other side - he'll just get the guy closest to the ball.I played my first game online last night against a wildmanbill or something like that.

More than anything, the biggest thorn in my side is getting the guys who just rush the safety every play (obvious when they run in place at the LOS). You can use your motion guy to line up with him and then hold Turbo right before you snap. He'll block for you instead of running his route, and usually pick up the blitzer, which is bound to leave someone wide open (and even if it doesn't, single coverage in this game is risky to say the least - you'll probably get a completion anyway).
Also, I beat the Pack twice in a row with Dallas. They're not invincible.Comment

Run a play where one of your WRs motions behind the line of scrimmage to counter pushers.
Try the play on the bottom right corner of page 2.
It's my go-to play for teams who push a lot.Comment

I gotta say, I love this game, but man, some small issues have really been killing me. Not that I'm mad about them, but they've literally costed me some online games.
I was ranked 106th in the world at one point. Now I'm at a number that is no longer even worth figuring lol.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

bcruise, he meant comeback AI, but you have a right to defend the other kind of "catch up" as well.
