Good bbbomber
In a few words, the game is fun looking past all the faults that it has and looking at it for what it really is.

In more than a few words the game is something that feels like it was made specifically for fans of the classic NFL Blitz games, nothing new to pull anyone else in. The graphics look just like the classic games and the gameplay is extremely fun. Since this one was made by EA as opposed to Midway who made the previous games in the series, the late hits were removed and a lot of the violence was toned down a bit. However it wasn't toned down too far because there is still plenty of violence to go around. There are a few game modes that are fun to play but the game seems to be built around multiplayer and the multiplayer is very addicting. The main focus being Blitz Teams that you and one of your friends can create and play against other teams of two for enjoyment and fun for everyone. The other modes are a singles online team play which is no where near as fun as the multiplayer version and a simplistic version of Ultimate team from the Madden series. While that mode is fun it is way to easy to get all the cards in the game and once you get that your team is just as good as anyone else you play online. The online heavy side that EA chose to make comes back to be a problem a year later. Nobody is playing it online anymore. I have yet to find a person to play with so the game is now just a single player experience which makes the game lackluster at best. The game is not too hard while beginners to the series will find the controls slightly confusing when the first start but slowly will start to understand them and returning players will notice that the controls have not changed too much from the previous games. The cheats that were in the other games are now on cards that you can purchase with coins that you earn from playing online against people in any of the game modes. This is also where the problem lies because without anyone online you cant unlock some of the cheats that make the game easier to play. For example the button passing cheat makes the passing closer to what players of Madden will be used to with a certain button corresponding to a certain receiver on the field as opposed to the a player lighting up depending on what direction you are moving the analog stick. I don't blame you if you play the game on mute. In fact I would probably recommend playing it on mute, the announcers get real annoying real fast. Some of the lines are kind of witty and funny but after hearing them the ten thousandth time they turn from witty to just plain annoying. In conclusion, the game was fun when it came out but now its just barely lackluster
