NFL Blitz

It began as a 1997 arcade game that was ported to home consoles and spawned several sequels. The series rebooted January 4, 2012 on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. Upon watching a preview scrimmage by Turmell and DiVita, league representatives said they could not have the NFL associated with the game as it was then programmed. After the commercial failure of Blitz Pro, Midway did not release a Blitz in 2004 for the first time since the series began. Wide receivers could be known to run the ball and sometimes pass, and defensive players were all crosses between pass rushers and defensive backs. There are no timeouts, but the clock stops after every play, and extra points after touchdowns are claimed to be automatic, unless it is chosen to go for two points.
