This is from the latest Midway Press Release...

The No Fun League's Football Game Ships Tomorrow
The Real Football Experience will Blitz: The League this October

Are you ready for the most watered-down, decaffeinated, "don't tackle me too hard", afraid of any competition, pansy-ass football videogame experience? Well you're in luck because that game ships tomorrow, and it's the only pigskin game censored (we mean endorsed) by the No Fun League.

"This game is so scared of the competition they should change the name of the game to John D. Rockefeller 2006 as these fools needed a monopoly just to feel safe with their No Fun League game. This move was about as cool as wearing socks with sandals in the summer, but that's all right, because over at Midway Games we don't play by the rules, we break them! And who am I you ask?"

"Yo, what up kid, this is Quentin Sands, defensive linebacker for the New York Nightmare. What, you haven't heard of me yet? Well, you better ask somebody…ask them if they know who the star player is in the most hardcore football videogame experience yet-Midway Games' Blitz: The League. Blitz is the only football game that tells it like it is…not how the league tries to convince you it might be."

"This is the game the league doesn't want you to play, and while we don't hand out awards in the form of Turkey Legs, we do have all of the on-the-field fury, off-the-field problems,and front office politics that are ubiquitous to a real football season. Get ready cuz' the League is about to get the REAL season started!"

They do realize that their target market are fans of the "No Fun League", right?

After watching the gameplay videos, I'm guessing their target market isnt NFL fans.
 
I don't know about you, but I want to play Blitz over Madden. All fun, all the time!

(I also want to play the story mode in madden and star in moves and dumb shit, too.)
 
Nice to see company's fight. EA thought it had no competition left. Goooooo Midway!

Baseball's my sport, and I wouldn't buy a baseball videogame without the real players unless it was a fantastic game. But with football, I'd be willing to play with the NY Nightmare (awesomest name ever!)

Good one
 
This might sell to few people who don't actually watch or follow real football and are interested in games I suppose. Seems like a lame marketing angle to me though.

Big ups for Midway's Hitz, but they've never done football right, with or without a license so who are they trying to kid?

That always did bug the hell out of me... about as much as old men wearing shorts that go just above the knee while also sporting knee high socks.
