Midway has announced that NFL Blitz 20-02 will be coming to the Xbox in March.
Officially licensed by the NFL and PLAYERS INC and featuring real NFL teams, players and stadiums, NFL Blitz 20-02 has evolved to bring fast-paced action, visually stunning graphics and NFL strategy to the next-generation of game systems. NFL Blitz 20-02 has been totally reinvented, delivering more than just an arcade or simulation football game, but a mix of extreme-style action and authentic NFL realism – including NFL star Charles Woodson’s motion-captured moves.
“NFL Blitz 20-02 is like a football highlight reel with its outrageous plays, hits and action,” said Helene Sheeler, vice president of marketing, Midway. “With all-new added features, NFL Blitz 20-02 is like no other version in the NFL Blitz series.”
New, next-generation features have been added to NFL Blitz 20-02, bringing tremendous depth and intense excitement to the series. New player models with body styles based on the height, weight and position of their NFL counterparts will give gamers the ability to differentiate players on the field. In addition, to keep the opposition on its toes, gamers can use the new “Impact Player” feature to edit the route or assignment of a featured NFL player for any offensive or defensive play they call. By dominating either side of the ball – moving the chains or blowing through the line to sack the QB – gamers can watch their team get “on fire” and perform even more outrageous moves and over-the-top animations, including motion-captured moves from professional stuntmen.
To add even more authentic attributes to the ferocious gameplay of NFL Blitz 20-02, Midway signed an exclusive deal with Oakland Raiders defensive back and perennial Pro Bowler, Charles Woodson, to appear on the package cover and in advertising materials. Woodson also participated in a motion capture session and added some of his signature moves, including bump-and-run coverage, tackling and a touchdown dance.
