A yearly refresh of a sports game. This focuses on adding more features more than changing the core gameplay (although I felt like it was a bit clunkier than the original). The biggest is that it now supports 4 players, making it more of a party game. Alongside this, it has other features such as creating your own plays and some additional kids of moves.
For someone like me, who still doesn’t understand the sport, these additions are probably why I felt the game felt less streamlined, but it was probably great for fans of the sport.

The hard-hitting action, exuberant presentation, and bullshit rubber-band AI you love from NBA Jam, but with football. A lot of Midway arcade games have this cobbled-together quality to them with how both cheap and exploitable the AI can be (this, Mortal Kombat, etc.), but getting one over on them by spamming Sub-Zero is half the fun.
Um FIFA Street de futebol americano, anos antes da EA roubar essa idéia de um jogo obscuro. E é um tipo de jogo que realmente não é acessível para brasileiros.
Depois de dar uma sofrida na primeira hora e dar uma lida no Gamefaqs do jogo, até que comecei a me divertir. Porém a dificuldade é impiedosa e mesmo no fácil fui surrado.
Gráficos decentes, jogabilidade simples mas difícil de entender e trilha sonora bem ruinzinha. Acho que seria melhor se jogasse em multiplayer com um amigo.

I was a kid who knew nothing about football, or really most sports, so exaggerated video game versions of sports like this and NBA Hang Time were perfect. I remember how cool it was that I could make my own plays, and I created a play called "No Touchdown For You" that scatted defenders around the field in set locations instead of tracking individual opponents. I was unstoppable. Imagine my disappointment when I got older and found out that this was not representative of real football and that someone else already invented this type of play I made up and it's just called 'Zone Defense"
Never have I found a game so aggravating, so infuriating, and so addicting as NFL Blitz 2000. On a surface level there is a sports game but lying underneath all of that is an artificial intelligence designed to drive me completely insane.
Leading the game by a possession in the 4th quarter, the AI will 100% make a 4th Down Conversion Touch Down in the last 10 seconds to completely demolish any chance of success. Making a safe play in the first 15 seconds of play, the AI will intercept it because fuck you.
Even playing with friends leads to its own level of frustration as fumbles feel insanely random and you can't even trust the field goal kick to be fucking accurate when the meter says it's supposed to.
And yet somehow, I keep finding myself coming back for more, like a weeping housewife returning to her abusive drunken husband. Every loss another literal smack in my face as I start losing control of my sanity with how ridiculous it all feels.
I'm not writing this review to evaluate the game but rather to exorcise my fucking demons at this point because this game keeps putting me through one of the worst self-hate loops I've experienced in my fucking life, and has drained any desire for me to play other games. It's just NFL Blitz, all the time, and no matter how much I practice, no matter what I do I never get better, I'll never get better because the universe is against me.
I'm going fucking crazy.
