NFL Blitz 2000 is an arcade-style American football video game developed by Midway Games. Released for the Sega Dreamcast in 1999, it is known for its over-the-top gameplay, exaggerated physics, and a departure from traditional NFL simulation games. Players engage in 7-on-7 football matches with simplified controls, fast-paced action, and liberal rules that allow for hard hits and dramatic plays. It's a fusion of sports and arcade gaming that attracted a wide audience, sustaining the popularity of the NFL Blitz series.
