Blitz: The League is an American football video game developed and published by Midway as an extension of their NFL Blitz series. It was released in October 2005 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox after the National Football League (NFL) signed an exclusive licensing deal with Electronic Arts. Lawrence Taylor who provides voice acting for the game served as its official spokesman. A second version of the game was released on the Xbox 360 in 2006–2007. The version was banned in Australia. In December 2006 a portable version titled Blitz: Overtime was released on the PlayStation Portable. These versions included the voicework and likeness of former NFL linebacker Bill Romanowski. The game was originally intended to be a launch title for the Wii but the version was delayed and eventually canceled.
