Fun Fact: The person who wrote the dialogue for this game also was one of the writers for the short-lived ESPN fictional football drama "Playmakers" (aka the series that was so controversial that the NFL forced ESPN to cancel the show or they would 86 their TV rights contact with them).
It can be so annoying though cause it feels like teams are unstoppable and than your whole team is injured because their spleen explodes or their shoulder tears. Fun game and crazy af tho.
@@michaelwhite6337 blitz games have always cheated. Going clear back to Nintendo 64. Nothing like being up by 28 only to watch your constantly fumble and guys get hit in the air and lose the ball for an int.
Takes mystery pill I feel funny Everything fades to black Wakes up to the sound of horses "Hey you're finally awake, you walked into that imperial ambush"
Is no one gonna talk about how clutch the CPU was at the end of the game? Used an unleash to evade 3 defenders for a game winning td on 4th and 41! LMAO
The AI rubber bands like crazy in this game. Its honestly the biggest flaw this game has, you pretty much never EVER wanna be up by more than 2 scores unless there is literally no time left because even the worst teams will become gods amongst men and lead comebacks that will make 28-3 look like a fucking joke.
I was never allowed to play this as a kid but my uncle always played it and he died when he was 18 about 14 years ago. I truly appreciate you bringing this memory to me good to reminisce sometimes💯
@@BenSmith-jf1ml I don't really remember. If I remember right when Ezekiel Elliott was drafted he wanted to wear it like he did in college but they wouldn't let him
Yeah it get nuts at the end of D2. The AI just rubber bands like crazy. Once you score a certain amount of points, the AI starts mounting comebacks that make 28-3 look like a joke.
I got this game when it came out and i LOVED it. When you brawl in the middle of a game or break someones bones and the slow mo break comes up. Thanks gor the nostalgia my friend.
Fuck i used to love this game, I remember once I had my star quarterback die because I kept giving him drugs instead of allowing him to sit out for his injury.
me: doesn't watch football, never even had a passing interest outside of the superbowl until the XFL was announced Also me: randomly finds and subscribes to a youtuber who seems to do mostly football shit and now I know there are tons of football games besides madden
Hey western Michigan you chose! The logo you chose also goes with the history of Kalamazoo/west Michigan. This is because a gang called the purple gang (something like that) was big in michigan during the prohibition. Good choice!
This game already triggered loads of people when it came it. If it came out today they'd go nuclear. *Guy gets neck broken* "He'll be out for three quarters."
Huge fan love the ncaa and street series and blitz will be a good laugh to, but can you focus on one of street or blitz so we can see some progression. Like I wish you would have started this after beating the street game
This is my favorite football game They definitely need to make an updated version We all started with blitz 2000 Arcade game I fell in love with this franchise ever since I was a kid
i actually remember this game from when i was younger. my dad and cousin rented it for a week or two and seemed to really enjoy it. the part i remember the most was when a player would get injured and it would show the bone breaking like mortal kombat does
We need a blitz these days. I liked madden games, but weren’t really too big on it, but I would play blitz nonstop with friends. Brutal and enjoyable. Remaster please.
Something people didn´t seem to notice about this game is the key players of the story line are obviously based on real NFL players, most retired icons like Bruno Battaglia based on Dick Butkus and some still active at the game´s release like Quentin Sands based on Ray Lewis....
Broken neck: 3 quarters
Concussion: 2 weeks
Wait...
PoopyHead 69 sprained neck
Mind over matter but with no mind you can’t do shit 😪
At least they take head injuries seriously unlike the NFL
What a bad interpretation of football
Stubbed toe: retirement, 2 weeks left to live
Fun Fact: The person who wrote the dialogue for this game also was one of the writers for the short-lived ESPN fictional football drama "Playmakers" (aka the series that was so controversial that the NFL forced ESPN to cancel the show or they would 86 their TV rights contact with them).
Playmakers was actually the inspiration for this game, as well!
Awesome show
Oh my broke his neck he’ll be out for 3 quarters 🤣
At least 2 of those are next gameday.so,out for a week
That's that mid 70"s early 80's NFL...
It said sprained neck. Not broken.
@@kenlogans110 that's how NFL works
This is basically mortal Kombat football edition game looks fun honestly keep it up
It can be so annoying though cause it feels like teams are unstoppable and than your whole team is injured because their spleen explodes or their shoulder tears. Fun game and crazy af tho.

Dallas Savage right
It was super fun back in the day lol
Angelo Lagrutta you have no idea how much fun this game actually is. Blitz 2 was better tho
"Use of drugs and violence. LOTS.. AND LOTS.. OF VIOLENCE"
"I'm going into this blind never played it before"
Me too!
xLilPuddinTater I was confused by that as wel
He probably looked at online reviews or something
Not everything you watch in sequence was recorded that way.
It's literally on the back of the box. Y'all didn't pay attention
Takes mystery pill
I feel funny
Everything fades to black
Wakes up to the sound of horses
"Hey you're finally awake, you walked into that imperial ambush"
😂😂😂
And that's how it all started..
Wakes up to a Bill Cosby cock.
r/skyrim is a good one
@@timothyduff38 😂😂😂
10:05 so we just gonna ignore the fact this game invented the dab
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude 👀👀👀👀
He was kissing his biceps
Bruh i was thinking the samething
DBZ did it first
I was bout to comment the same thing
10:04 Kilgore was dabbing before there was a dab
Lmao my thoughts exactly
Yes ikrr
It's always been a black thing
The "Dab" has been around for years before it got popular, things dont just up and get popular, it takes a while.
Blake Brewster "things don't just up and get popular"
they do but when they do they get dropped just as quickly. think: every viral dance song ever
Best football game in history now play Blitz the league 2
Griffin Peter Australia loves banning stuff huh?
Τζακυνθος Φριτοπουλος aw :(
You misspelled NFL Street
Griffin Peter the injuries looks soo much better in 2. The game also plays better and better story. The 1st one is still great though.
Blitz #2 was a goat football game. Especially the create a character
They need to make this for new gen consoles. Best game ever.
I remember when I was a kid playing this game, they’d show the cheerleaders underskirt and I’d freak out and hide my Xbox
Is no one gonna talk about how clutch the CPU was at the end of the game? Used an unleash to evade 3 defenders for a game winning td on 4th and 41! LMAO

This was definitely the right game for Lawrence Taylor to be the cover athlete for.
LOVED this game
TheHound and tim romanowski
Bill*
I was never allowed to play this as a kid but my uncle always played it and he died when he was 18 about 14 years ago. I truly appreciate you bringing this memory to me good to reminisce sometimes💯
Sorry for your lost. I've never played this game but I should pick it up. Heard it was made like this because Midway had lost the NFL License
Arz2003 defenently get it. He diddnt use the clash bar... Once you see gameplay with that you'll see how crazy this game gets
@@Arz2003 yeah. Several football games came out as a response to losing the license.
F
So basically if you play this game you’ll die. He played it and he died.
Drewski: "There are CHILDREN watching this game".
*flashback to Lawrence Taylor almost murdering a dude*
Omg Joe Theisman I felt so bad when I saw his bone rocket out of his leg it was disgusting
smh, they had crop tops back in this game and madden still can’t figure out how to add them in??
dxn nxp NFL wont let me add it
Because I think it's against the NFL rules
Jason Moore yea I wonder why they ban it doe
@@BenSmith-jf1ml I don't really remember.
If I remember right when Ezekiel Elliott was drafted he wanted to wear it like he did in college but they wouldn't let him
Crop tops are important?.......
I loved this game growing up.. but I remember the difficulty just skyrocketing about halfway through the story.
Yeah it get nuts at the end of D2. The AI just rubber bands like crazy. Once you score a certain amount of points, the AI starts mounting comebacks that make 28-3 look like a joke.
Looking like how Vince McMahon wants XFL to look like
Did anyone notice that one of the coaches names was Giovanni Carmazzi, like the QB bust from the 49ers in 2000😂
You sir..... Are a treasure to history
One of the many takin before Brady
Not nfl ready then yes
Yes I did, he was behind Garcia, Rattay and McNown at one point lol
That’s a throwback
U need to learn how to use a slow motion u can really break there bones and hit them hard and there's a training in the menu
This game was a Mortal Kombat sport game similar to def jam vendetta fight for ny?
@@TonyWilliams27 exactly
@@TonyWilliams27 Id say it was football in an alternate universe where drugs and sex was encouraged
I live 45 mins away from Kalamazoo, city in Michigan, western michigan campass is there too
say hi to tim brody for me
Megafirez he don’t live there
John Hates Refs row the boat
I literally live IN Kalamazoo
Lol I live 55 minutes away I live in okemos
Tim Brody?
Tom Brady?
Nope, just a coincidence.
I wish u would of been the ligers because Kalamazoo is in Michigan and Detroit has the Lions and tigers 😂
I wonder if he knows which of the Michigan college teams makes it's home in Kalamazoo.
Yuh
Western
How do you know someone is from Kalamazoo? They'll watch this video and comment on how they live in Kalamazoo.
Oh boy that's exactly true I live by Kalamazoo and commented about ir
Kzoo here😂😂
I also live in Kalamazoo
Yep. Im that dude.
Who be smoking in here?🤔🤔
I loved the shit out of Blitz and Blitz 2, loved the game mostly for the xray injuries.
12:50 LOL that "brawl" had me so weak
You are my favorite sports game TH-camr, NTE! Keep up the good work.
I love this game. The second one is even better. Thanks for the upload
There was a second one?!?!? Anyone know if Microsoft has made this playable on the Xbox one???
It's not sadly
Kalamazoo born and raised we appreciate the shout-out
yessir
I agree I was born just outside of Kalamazoo
Same here
Lol where my Kzoo boys at!?!?!
Go! Maroon Giants!
You gonna Play Blitz II?
Also I recommend All-Pro Football 2K8
Hell yeah, the 2K games were the best. I always liked them over Madden.
*Breaks neck
Its ok hes out for 3 quarters
I got this game when it came out and i LOVED it. When you brawl in the middle of a game or break someones bones and the slow mo break comes up. Thanks gor the nostalgia my friend.
Fuck i used to love this game, I remember once I had my star quarterback die because I kept giving him drugs instead of allowing him to sit out for his injury.
Two things you need to learn how to do in blitz:
1. The stiff arm.
2. Hurdling tackles.
Normal: he has a broken neck, he’s dead
Blitz: he has a broken neck, he’l be out for 3 quarters
me: doesn't watch football, never even had a passing interest outside of the superbowl until the XFL was announced
Also me: randomly finds and subscribes to a youtuber who seems to do mostly football shit and now I know there are tons of football games besides madden
I keep watching football stuff and I haven't been into football since I was a kid
Hey western Michigan you chose! The logo you chose also goes with the history of Kalamazoo/west Michigan. This is because a gang called the purple gang (something like that) was big in michigan during the prohibition. Good choice!
This brings back so many memories as a kid 😂 I loved this game
Giovanni Carmazzi he was part of the Brady 6 and lives in Montana or somewhere with goats haha.
4:32 Frank was in Blitz the League before he was next to Drewski in his office
Plot twist: the mystery pill is viagra
mysterious viagra costing 45k bucks lol
This taking me back I haven’t played this since I was a little kid
This game already triggered loads of people when it came it. If it came out today they'd go nuclear.
*Guy gets neck broken* "He'll be out for three quarters."
"It's too easy" Then the AI rubber banding kicks in and they score 16 unanswered. Yep, truly the Blitz 1 experience lol.
@11:58 look at all that green in front of your QB, run it for the 1st! Doh!
The warning notes on the back sound like a description of Kansas City
Play Blitz the League 2. Its WAY better
Sports Gamers Online seems to think otherwise.😒
Lawrence Taylor Literally the Perfect guy for the cover he was a maniac in real life lol
REMember Mac it was awesome having him as a teammate in Blitz the League 2
Isn’t Bill romanowski the other guy? Because that would be spot on dudes dirtier than fuck
Midway needs to bring this game back!!!
CoachPlaysGames midway was close Lmao called Neather realm now
TheRadSteve yeah netherrealm is focused on fighting games only 😢
ea is a phat hog and legally is the only people that can make NFL games....
UGF Pandas Official is this big ol drewski?
no y
Tito Maas with the gamewinner lol as a huge fan of this series, I definitely enjoyed the video!

BS madden19
Please do more videos on this game you're hilarious and I think you'll love it if u keep going
BRING BACK THIS SERIES!
especially now that he is done with the NCAA Football series
9:50 bro he was literally standing on air
Myles Garret approves of this game
When he turned the music down I died a little inside. This game had one of the best soundtracks.
Lol you had those kind of parents.
Bring this series back to life
Can you play Old Time Hockey? It's basically the Blitz version of NHL but set in the 70s
6:59 - HAHAHAHAHA!! Oh man, I’m not going to get tired of that one.🤣
10:02 He hit em with the dab after the 2 pt conversion
It looks like that but I think he was kissing his muscles
Omg this is a legendary classic! Also it's good to see I'm not the only person who hikes in game music down by half or like 80-90%.
xRAzorxDicex most youtubers do it cause it will become a copyright strike on the video
@@rockybodzer5517 True. I forgot that part .
This is basically what football is, modern gladiators but in modern times.
Dead • pretty sure you’re thinking of the UFC
I played with with my dad when I was a kid, miss those times man
10:04 Did he start dabbing? Lmao wasn’t this game made in like 2007
HennyThaPlug yea Migos got some questions to answer
Time traveler
Ah, I remember these days. Even now I still play it
Right after the qb broke his thumb I liked this video
This is my favorite football game They definitely need to make an updated version We all started with blitz 2000 Arcade game I fell in love with this franchise ever since I was a kid
See if they would've done this for a hockey game maybe hockey games wouldn't have died as easily
I remember on the old school nhl games when I was kid you could fist fight another player
illa buppy you can do that with new ones too
“yo there’s insane amounts violence, but i’d have no way of knowing that since i’ve never seen footage”
This is the first video of yours I’ve ever watched and I love it omg, new subscriber
i actually remember this game from when i was younger. my dad and cousin rented it for a week or two and seemed to really enjoy it. the part i remember the most was when a player would get injured and it would show the bone breaking like mortal kombat does
So this is how the xray in Mortal Kombat came from 🤣
Fun fact... midway is now netherelm studios who makes MK

Is the other guy on the cover Bill Romanowski? Because that man is a certifiable lunatic.
Yes lol the game let's you roid your players up
I'd love to see you do a full campaign play through this game was a cornerstone of my childhood
Imagine the NFL allowed all of this
Breaking someone’s finger off and snapping their neck?
PLEASE Bring back this game!!! Blitz The League II was even better. I made teams constantly.
Umm Blitz doesn’t have a lot of blitzing... more like all out brawling
Please make this a regular series... it was hilarious
Played blitz on ps2 it was no joke
Something people didn´t seem to notice about this game is the key players of the story line are obviously based on real NFL players, most retired icons like Bruno Battaglia based on Dick Butkus and some still active at the game´s release like Quentin Sands based on Ray Lewis....
I have blitz the league 2 and I love it
Bro this a classic. One of my favorite games
You could have been The Cleveland Steamer.
That winning TD pass was insane!! Amazing
Lmao I live by Kalamazoo it's in Southwest Michigan
"Can you knee people in the balls in this game" with such excitement in the voice! So awesome
Yes, you do need to look, there might be a panda logo
Dude I was so mad watching this. I was so invested. Ya blew it
Kalamazoo is my home town and where i live rn
3:02 Lol Giovanni Carmazzi, one of Jeff Garcia’s backups in San Fran
Kalamazoo!! That's where I live!!! You guys holding tryouts?
me too. Ill call greg jennings and see if he wants to sign up
And if they come in last place, she gets to move the team. Oh, wait, that was Major League.
Take 1 sticker off for every win
This Game was soooooo Lit🔥🔥🔥🔥 Get ya player jacked up on steroids break bones all that shit i loved this game💯💯🔥🔥
Real life: broken neck he’s dead
