NFL Blitz Available Now For PS3, Tomorrow For 360 - Post Your Impressions Here

[Haze88]

Just curious but have any you guys ever played the old Blitzes ever? Some of these complaints seem to come from those that are new to the series. Blitz was always fun and fake over realism, and I hope they leave it alone but add LATE HITS! It's a Blitz staple.

One super frustrating aspect is the Intercept button which is also mapped as the dive button on defense (Triangle for Ps3). So there is two dive buttons on defense for some odd reason.

I've given up huge completions when I am controlling the DB who is clearly in front of the WR, ball is in the air, I'm going for the sure INT, and I dive instead of going for the catch the ball animation. Really frustrating. Unless I am doing something wrong. This happening to anyone else?

Best way to get a leaping interception is to be facing the play before pressing the dive/INT button - if you're turned backwards you'll probably dive. That's not a terribly bad thing anyway, since you can commit blatant pass interference and not get called - diving at the WR and taking him out before the ball gets there is perfectly acceptable in this game.

There's no automatic turnaround/strafe button like in madden though, so you have to turn manually.

Also, yeah, there's two dive buttons, but Triangle/Y is the only button I've been able to do leaping INT's with.

For INTs you can jump straight up by pressing dive without turbo. If you press turbo + dive, you go for a tackle instead.

You have to buy the "tournament mode" code from the blitz store before you can enter it on the tonight's matchup screen.

It just disables all other codes and removes the game's rubberband AI.

Yep, I do this with no turbo. Even more so I've been testing it out with safe zone. I chose the middle safety that is back roaming. I get a good read on the play, I'm right in front, facing the QB, no turbo, and I hit the triangle,,,and dive almost every time, if not every time...lol. Once or twice I get it to work, but I'm sure it was just random.

Really no reason what so ever that needed to map the triangle button to make it dive, when there is already another dive button. Really why would they do something like this?

Seems like all anyone runs online is plays out of the trips formation. Usually Da Bomb, and if there is no one of the left side of the line they just take off an run with the QB. Funny when I stop them after a drive or 2 and they don't know what to do.
