Fans Select Ray Rice for the NFL BLITZ Digital Cover
On Saturday night during the 2011 Spike “Video Game Awards”,
fans exercised their right to vote for the first-ever EA SPORTS
digital cover athlete, choosing Baltimore Ravens running back
Ray Rice for the NFL Blitz cover over fellow Pro Bowlers Roddy
White and Patrick Willis. Hall of Famer Jerry Rice announced the
news, revealing Ray Rice as the fan-voted winner at the end of
the show. Fans can get their hands on the new NFL Blitz on
January 4th through Xbox LIVE Arcade for 1200 Microsoft Points
and PlayStation Network for $14.99.
The recharged NFL Blitz from EA SPORTS includes the exciting
tackles and over-the-top action of the legendary 1990’s arcade
hit. Featuring the twitch gameplay and ultra-responsive controls
of the original game, combined with all-new single-player and
cooperative game modes, NFL Blitz hits the virtual gridiron in
HD for the first time with blazing 60fps/60Hz gameplay. The new
NFL Blitz offers fans the opportunity to battle rivals 7-on-7,
fight their way through the Blitz Gauntlet, take over the online
leaderboards in Blitz Battles, or create a true dream team by
collecting player cards in Elite League. Challenging to master,
yet easy to pick up and play, NFL Blitz is reborn as the
ultimate HD arcade football experience for a new generation.
NFL Blitz is developed in Orlando, Florida by EA Tiburon and has
been rated “E10+” by the ESRB.
