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.

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.

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.

How do you lateral? I'm playing on 360 and it says "x" but I never lateral the ball. Can someone help me out. I'm playing the trial to decide if I want to buy it. So far it seems better than Madden Arcade.

Thank you. I saw that there were two control modes, but I couldn't tell the difference and was anxious to jump into gameplay.
To onside kick, hold both triggers right before. I haven't tried this myself, but I saw a load screen that said it.

This is a fun game if you have friends over, if not, then it is pretty mediocre.
NBA Jam is much better.

@ #51: I played quite a bit of NBA Jam at the arcade and have owned two portable versions of the game since the glorious SNES / Sega Genesis days (NBA Showtime for Game Boy Color and NBA Jam for iPhone) so I ask this with sincerity:
Doesn't NBA Jam get very repetitive? Is this new On Fire Edition more than the turbo-dunk-stop-repeat motif? I really loved the NBA Street games (v3 specifically) and have been hoping that they will update it (and NFL Street). What am I missing out on?

Is icon passing available in the demo? I'm not finding it, I only see the two control options of Blitz and Arcade, and nothing customizable about them.

However; this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Vick is on Eagles.
Yeah Vick is on the Eagles. They are way overrated in this game. Their defense is ridiculously good and their receivers never drop passes.
Pretty much 75% of the people I've played online use Philly.

I'm not sure how to do it in the open field.

Does this game have a tournament mode, where you could set up a tournament of like 4 or 8 teams and control them all?

Mods just a thought, but can you replace this Blitz forum with the old Blitz the league forum? This one looks like its going to need it. Just a thought.
