Blitz: The League II is the latest game in Midway's Blitz series of football games. It was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 13, 2008. Though little information has been released, the official website continues to update fans about the development. So far 5 new teams and 4 relocated clubs have been announced. The new teams are the Los Angeles Riot, the Houston Riders , Vancouver Beavers, Milwaukee Hounds and Atlanta 404. The relocated teams are the Miami Hammerheads (former Orlando Hammerheads), Cleveland Steamers (former San Diego Cyclones), the Philadelphia Brawlers (The former team you controlled in the first game) and the Mexico City Aztecs (former Dallas Aztecs). Lawrence Taylor (L.T.) will also be involved in this edition of Blitz playing as Quentin Sands with the New York Nightmare, his team from the original game (Blitz: The League). The game also continues to allude to real-life scandals involving NFL players, as former Washington Redhawks Quarterback Mike Mexico is now serving time in prison. This situation is similar to the Michael Vick dogfighting scandal. There are also allegations of the New England Regulars cheating in a championship game, a reference to the New England Patriots Spygate.
