Amazing!!They must have omitted when Blitz is shutting down from the press release about it launching... silly EA Sports. Also they forgot that Blitz bucks will be purchasable for $$$ and that there are no refunds for unused Blitz bucks. /sarcasm
Life, it's funny that way.

Wow, this is probably the first sports game I've actually found myself interested in for years. However, I'll probably wait for NFL Blitz 2013.

Hopefully it's a better arcade sports game than NBA Jam.

This game interests me and everything, but this Yuri guy just seems really weird to me. Not sure what it is.

It's nice to see a game with a fair extent of unlockable content rather than making us download everything for a price.
You seem a little furious...
