If these tackles happen frequently enough the players will fight hockey-style, lunging into wild tackles. Impressive moves boost your Clash meter, which allows you to pull off unrealistic moves, such as easier running due to Bullet Time, and some brutally tough defences tackles. The game has input from the writer for Playmakers, the football-based soap opera the NFL forced ESPN to cancel.īlitz: The League has 8-man teams, and makes spectacular action-packed moves easier than in real life. The game differentiates itself further from official games by giving the players an off-field presence, often involving sex, performance-enhancing drugs and violence.
The game has 17 fantasy teams all with their own look and feel - from personalities to logos. Blitz: The League is the first football game with no NFL license in many years - because EA signed an exclusive deal with the NFL, Midway developed one without the license.
