Online game developer Quick Hit, Inc. has acquired a license from the National Football League to incorporate the league's 32 professional teams into the studio's free-to-play title Quickhit Football.

Quick Hit Football released a major new update (version 1.8) today to its servers. The update adds the Rookie Cup, a new 4-game single-player challenge. This series is designed for new coaches, and offers custom games stacked in the player's favor, along with special hints. This challenge uses new Game Mode technology which allows developers to adjust game settings such as starting quarter, score, ball possession, changing quarter length, and the play-clock. Quick Hit hints it may use this technology for special off-season challenges. Advancement changes were also released with the patch.
