Reception

The Nintendo 64 version received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Hugh Norton-Smith of Hyper gave the same console version 91% and stated, "Unless you are a hardcore statistics fanatic, Blitz 2000 is a 5-star title worthy of anyone's cash. I wait for the next installment with bated breath and a case of Budweiser." Steve Bauman of Computer Games Strategy Plus gave the PC version four stars out of five, saying, "It's just that sort of attitude that shows NFL Blitz 2000 is ultimately bad for you. It'll make you relish those late hits, laugh at those painful groin injuries and pulled hamstrings, and give your game pad the fiercest workout imaginable. But it's still, in the words of the in-game announcer, 'totally uncalled for, but awfully fun to watch.'" Michael Lafferty of GameZone gave the same PC version 6.9 out of 10, calling it "a nice diversion from the games geared to the hard-core fans." Tom Russo of Next Generation said that the Dreamcast version was "As fast and fun as it ever was, but lacking the depth and one-player replayability of Sega's own NFL 2K."
