Here's hoping that people buy Blitz 2 and that the wait for a sequel is not as long as the wait was for Blitz 2.

I love the overall concept of the league and the game. Blitz 2 is better than Blitz 1 but if this is to become a great game. Here is what needs to be done.

EXPANDED CAMPAIGN MODE

Two seperate campaign modes.
Have a campaign mode with the user created team and built in storyline and give the user the option of playing a campaign mode with any team from The League. Users don't need a storyline for this mode. It should be simple. It's just an additional game mode. Wouldn't it be great if you could actually take over a team like The Crusaders and try to take them from Division 3 to a Division 1 championship.

More Customization Features

One of the best parts of Blitz is the ability to customize an entire team but Blitz 2 is lacking in the customization area. Especially when it comes to player customization. You can barely alter your players entire look. There are only 7 generic faces to choose from. You can't change height or hairstyles etc You end up having a roster where everyone looks about the same. That's just lazy development work by Midway.

More Roster Options

You should be able to pick up free agents and make trades in The League. That feature has to be expanded. You can limit it by making it so team captains can not be traded during division play. For example, If you are in Division 3, You can't trade in midseason for Daunell Sullivan. But if you advance to D2, Then you can pick up Division 3 players through trade or free agency since All 3 divisions play seperate seasons. This would be a fun feature. It would be cool to have a salary cap and to release and sign players.

Expand The User's Features

Some nice improvements were made in Blitz 2. Like expanded rosters and playbooks. This was a great added feature. The game is alot of fun to play but would be even better if the user wasn't so limited. Allow the user the ability to make substitions and to alter his depth chart. More emphasis needs to be put on the user's ability to control it's team. I love all the bells and whistles and gimmicks. It's what makes Blitz great but I'd love to seem more of an emphasis on the football side of things. This would improve the gameplay and the strategy aspect of football.

This game could be so much better than it already is.

I don't know wtf is up with everybody wanting a Madden-type Campaign mode. WOULDN'T IT BE MADDEN IF WE HAD SALARY CAPS AND WHATNOT? Yeah, it would, except without an NFL Liscense. And I think we all know how successful those games are. Blitz is good, but all that roster stuff will kill the game. People talk about a Superstar Mode... wth? This is Blitz, y'all!

I know. This is an arcade game. I don't want a superstar mode, I don't want a franchise mode, I don't want depth charts or in game ads/commercials. This is raw ass football.

Yeah; botom line, Blitz is not a game to be taken as seriously as Madden, and it never has been, and never will be.

Once you have "ALL THE RIGHT MOVES" figured out ...and I am STILLL learning them,
I think the gameplay action is fine as is....
At least I need more time to confrim that,
So.... I would just improve the graphics.
also....
It would be kewl to be able to "scan" in my face and
use that as the player...or any face I want.

AND..Add real video cut scenes of real cheerleaders,
but wearing a skimpier unifroms.....

Whne the cut scenes of them play, show us real models.

Fix the onling issues..maybe have LESS motion,
and better online play.

For now, I just want to the camera to be able to zoom out so I can see the field more. I hate that the cpu can make those quick passes to a guy just off screen the half-second I'm about to land a dirty hit.

I know there's more, but I need to think it over a little. They've made good improvements already, I guess some downloadable content would be great...

1. Better Instant Replay
2. I got this from someone else: The receiver should be able to stiff arm/pretect himself before the ball reaches him. It's not fair that the DB can take out your receiver and stuff with no hassle, especially on a crucial 4th down situation.

3. Make the defender more aware of his surroundings (the CPU players are that way all ready). If the linebackers are in zone coverage, and you see the QB STEP OVER THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, DO SOMETHING!!!!

Or when DBs are in man coverage on a receiver and both players are standing around till the ball comes that way. If my DB makes a play on the ball, it's always too early, or he will just stand there and allow the catch. Meanwhile every time the ball in near my receivers, they get clobbered by the defense no matter what. All I'm asking for is a happy medium where the CPU doesn't cheese when it's down.

4. Bring back the fights!

I agree with all the features you said and i think it should be a longer campaign mode but still keep the fun raw football. They should also have a training camp so it won't be so hard to get all your stats up. But you can still use the regular format for training you people.

Just throwing one out there, even though I don't have online. It would be cool to have like an Online League Mode.
Where all our custom teams can face off in divisional play, like in campaign mode.

Another one just to throw out there, what about when you do a dirty hit, you can press a code similar to the touchdown codes for Blitz 2, and can do which dirty you want to do.

Just throwing another one out there, it may seem like a hassle, but how about a never ending story mode, such as

- If you don't win the championship, or make it there, in which ever division you play in, you can start over, with a different schedule.
- If your last in division 1 or 2, you can get bumped down. Then play in your new division.

Did you understand all of it?
