NFL Blitz 2001

Cheats, codes, hints, tips, tricks, Easter eggs and game help

Off-screen plays

For off-screen plays, move to the top left corner of the screen when selecting a play and press Up twice. The play that was highlighted will appear on the VMU and will be kept secret from the other players.

Hint: Drag player

To drag players on the field, press Jump (X or A) while your opponent is about to tackle you. You can also sometimes press Stiff Arm when the opponent is trying to tackle you from the side. Finally, if you are on fire most of the time your opponent tries to tackle you, they will not and instead just grab. This is helpful when you are almost at the first down marker or goal line.
