Midway brings word that they are in development of Blitz: The League II for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The game brings back Lawrence Taylor and promises to build on the previous games story while bringing new features and gameplay. One interesting note is that the storyline of the game is penned by the same guy (Peter Egan) that helped write Playmakers on ESPN. This is the controversy filled program that the NFL basically forced ESPN to take off the air. Oh yeah, late hits are back :-) Blitz: The League II will be available this Fall.
