Only played the demo, waiting to see if my friends get it. It's one of those games I want to play with people I know like a lot of the other sports games I play. However, I would like to say it seems a lot like the original but slower. Not sure if that's the HD upgrade issue or not. It may just make us feel like its slower with a bigger screen, cripser details and higher framerate.

Secondly I feel like the game overly favors offense. I can remember some big defensive battles on Blitz 2000. My family would always play huge matches at Christmas and we'd end up with nailbiters that were very low scoring. Seems this game loves offense.

I've noticed some stuff on Youtube like players changing name, number and skin color mid play. I've not personally had this happen, but from the 3-4 videos I've seen, I hope this is just someone pulling our legs and not really going on. Anyone here on OS care to let us know if they've experienced this issue?

And last but not least, I think it's a very well put together game to remind us of the classic. It's not exactly the way I remember it, nor is it the best game I've played, but I think it's a respectable first offer. At least they didn't do what they did with NBA Jam. I was one of those people who bought it day 1 for retail only to find out instead of supporting my version they were going to make a cheaper/better version a year later.

All my games have been during the day. Didn't even know those were available.

This game is definitely meant to be played 2 vs. 2. Having that extra human defender really makes the offense up their strategy.

1 vs. 1 Blitz has always been a bit of a boring scorefest.

For those wondering, you can take a local "guest" online with you in all the 2 vs. 2 modes.

You have to input the code at the "tonight's matchup" screen.

Same for the icon passing and wide camera options.

Played the trial version. It just seems bland and not as exciting as the original, nostalgia can be blinding I guess.

Maybe if it were 800 points I would grab it, but that extra 5 bucks makes me want to hold out.

Icon passing can be changed in the controls menu.
