Blitz Pro was a good idea in theory: a faster-paced 11-on-11 arcade football game to serve as an alternative to sim football games. Unfortunately, it just doesn't execute well on the concept. Big plays and long touchdowns typically feel out of reach due to defense's super dives. There's finally a running game in Blitz, but again, it's hard to get around the defense.
The stadiums and presentation also just look a notch below what Madden and 2K were doing at the time.

Maybe this could have worked with more improvements in the following years, but this turned out to be Midway's last licensed NFL game.
