Experience the over-the-top, fast-paced action of NFL Blitz 2001 on the PlayStation. Developed by Midway, this arcade-style football classic strips away the penalties and realistic simulation of standard sports games in favor of chaotic 7-on-7 matchups, exaggerated tackles, and high-scoring drives.
How to play
Outscore your opponent by mastering aggressive, fast-paced plays. Using standard PlayStation controls mapped for your keyboard, use the Arrow keys to move. On offense, press X to pass, Z to hurdle or stiff-arm, and S to spin. On defense, press X to switch players, Z to tackle, and S for a diving tackle. Hold the turbo buttons (Q or W) to sprint and enhance your moves. Press Enter to select plays and pause.
Tips
- Complete consecutive passes to catch your team “On Fire,” granting unlimited turbo and making players significantly harder to tackle.
- Don’t hesitate to deliver late hits after the whistle blows; the game encourages aggressive play and features no penalties.
- Combine the turbo button with diving tackles on defense to quickly close the gap and shut down fast receivers.
