Although it's a competing gaming website :) 1up has a really cool preview up for Blitz the league 2. It looks like this one is going to be full of the dirty, late hitting football that I loved so much on the arcade. Plus exploding testicles is totally hilarious..I can't wait to do that to my friends player in head to head play haha.

Blitz: The League II
Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Oct 13, 2008
Blitz: The League II brings back the classic football game to a new audience with brutal hits, injuries, HD visuals, and a gritty story mode.
Blitz the League 2
I actually like it a bit more without the NFL teams because that lets them do their own thing with the story mode, which I find really cool. They got Peter Egan from Playmakers to write the story mode section of the game, which is awesome. I think it's better than just the mindless game-after-game-after-game of the same stuff like in NFL games.
Ok, it's definitely time to update this with more videos. youtube's got some really cool ones:

Check these out, this game looks like a ton of fun to play.
I think this Blitz game may be the first great one in a while. I won't really know, but it sounds like they are bringing back some of the things that always made playing these games so much fun, like late hits...It's not really a Blitz game if it doesn't have late hits!
@MattyFM: I think you could like a Blitz game, but I would recommend trying a demo first (if one comes out of course).

I don't like football except for the old Blitz titles.

"I have a question for people about the blitz the league games. I'm not a fan of american football, and I find madden fairly boring, but blitz the league looks interesting. Would I like it?"Like Kush said you should try a demo and if there isn't one for Blitz 2 then go back and play the Blitz The League 1 demo.I will show you the main gameplay of Blitz games.

If you're not a fan of American football then you'd probably get a little bit bored with the simulation-type Madden game. Blitz aims for fun, I mean gruesome injuries, late hits, "juicing" and from the looks of the youtube trailers fun-ass gameplay.

Definitely check out Blitz 1 too, I found that one to be fun as well, but it's important to keep in mind they aren't making the same game and there have been a bunch of serious changes.
