I've played it a few times, I didn't hate it or anything but it was more sim styled than other Blitz games which may be a turn off to classic Blitz fans who only like the arcade style. You couldn't do crazy plays like throw the ball from your own endzone to the other for a touchdown or kick a 70 yard field goal but it still was a bit more arcade styled than Madden. Playbooks were probably the hardest part for me personally, I'm still trying to learn the ins and outs of how playbooks work in real football and having a complex playbook like Blitz Pro had was a little out of place for the series. I appreciate the new features it had though like Franchise mode from Madden and the in game store to use points you earned from playing games on extras like secret teams and stadiums.
