''NFL Blitz'' is a series of American football themed video games by Midway featuring National Football League teams. It began as a 1997 arcade game that was ported to home consoles and spawned several sequels. Rather than being designed as a realistic interpretation of the sport of football, like ''Madden NFL'' or ''NFL 2K'', the ''Blitz'' series was created as an over-the-top, exaggerated version of the sport, inspired by Midway's own ''NBA Jam'' basketball games. In 2005, following the loss of the NFL license, the ''Blitz'' series was relaunched as ''Blitz: The League'', featuring fictional players and teams in a fictional league with slightly more realistic (though still exaggerated) on-field play and a focus on the seedy behind-the-scenes lives of the players. The series rebooted January 4, 2012 on ''PlayStation Network'' and ''Xbox Live''. The game took the series back to the original style of NFL BLITZ, but removed the late hits due to input by the NFL. ==Creation== The game was created by Midway Games and headed by lead artist, Sal DiVita and lead programmer, Mark Turmell.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR9rFD8ofAU〕 The NFL paid little attention to the game's development until just before the launch. Upon watching a preview scrimmage by Turmell and DiVita, league representatives said they could not have the NFL associated with the game as it was then programmed. They said there was too much violence in the game and offered to refund Midway's license fee. Midway was eager to keep the NFL's endorsement of the game, so they compromised on some of the graphic violence and "late hits" in the game. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NFL Blitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
