Merged: Congrats To Ray Rice - Cover of EA NFL Blitz

[lgcs27288]

Kudos to him and all the fans that voted for him!

Now lets just pray there isnt a curse for this cover...

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

He will be on the cover of NFL Blitz. It's not Madden but that's just one step further I suppose. lol

Rice was one of three potential cover athletes versus White & WIllis. It was announced that he won the cover! The catch is it's a digital cover because it's a dlc game only. Still cool though!

[BowieRavensFan]

Yeah, I saw it on tv. Jerry Rice announced it. I'm glad I cast my vote in the knick of time too.

[Ravenslifer]

As soon as I read the title, I thought to myself, "Please let there not be an 'NFL Blitz' curse."

I was happy when I heard, but if this is the real cover art, the artist sucks. That looks nothing like ray. Reminds me of that Flacco doll with the body builder arms.

That's supposed to be Ray Rice? He looks like Mike Tyson in a helmet to me.

Ravens Talk - "Talk about everything that has to do with the Baltimore Ravens here."

I understand where you are coming from and I wouldnt care if the mods happened to move it there, but Ray Rice is a part of the Ravens. I guess you could consider this one of those hybrid threads that could go under either section.

Either way, I just wanted to spread the word to the majority of the Ravens fan base on here that just checks this forum and not the video game forum, and give props to our young man in the backfield, not to necessarily talk about the video game itself.

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

well, theres goes another great game franchise down the drain, EA is going to kill it. Man im gonna miss Midway games.

[Ravenslifer]

Already said this in another thread, but it looks more to me like Mike Tyson in Ravens gear than it does Ray Rice.

Holy heck, didnt realize it when i was watching it on tv, The Uniform even looks off a bit.

[Ray Ray Ravens]

I think it looks more like Jones-Drew then Rice IMHO. Blitz was fun back in the day. Just hated how it let people catch up all the time.

lol Rice has perferct square shoulder pads. Also he is twice as jacked as he is now lol.

[berad]

The original NFL Street is a great game, I still play it to this day. That's the king of "arcade football" to me, I'm interested to see how Blitz turns out, though.
