A typical NFL Blitz match takes less than half an hour and has more drama than a regular football game. It's very common to have a ball intercepted and returned for a touchdown or to get tackled so hard that your character flies 5 yards. It's arcade football at its best.
Just like NBA Jam, NFL Blitz is known for its rubber band system (where the worse you're losing, the better your players get). It makes every play important, because a normal pass could easily turn into a 7 point touchdown or interception.
There's also no penalties, so you can let out your anger on an opponent by repeatedly body slamming him after a play is over. Good times.
In my favorite game ever, my cousin Derek was showboating on the 1 yard line when the clock was at 0:00 in the 4th quarter. We tackled him, he fumbled, and we returned the ball 99 yards for the game winning touchdown. That kind of play doesn't happen in the NFL, but seems to happen every couple matches in NFL Blitz.
So why is it so high on my list? It's the best 4 player sports game I've ever played. Every game seems to be fun, competitive, and insane. Also, no John Madden.
