Listen now | Part 2 of our conversation with EA's principal game designer for college football, in which he takes a bunch of subscriber questions and we talk about them.
RJ was thinking of Blitz: The League. Genuinely insane series of games, starring Lawrence Taylor and Bill Romanowski. Hilarious cutscenes for those on YouTube if you need like an uncut hit of XBOX 360 era sleaze.
Backbreaker was the one with the weird ragdoll physics engine and the nonsensical "flick the stick to pass" controls.
Yeah same devs. Midway (who you may also know as the Mortal Kombat people) lost the NFL license in 2005 and wanted to see if people would buy an arcadey football game without it. Answer… kinda?
Anyway, good episode. We need NFL and NBA Street back, maybe more than ever.

I remember NFL BLITZ later. Kinda like NBA STREET.
