Secrets
Like every other Midway arcade game around this time, NFL Blitz 2001 is full of Versus Screen codes. Let’s get to it!
Versus Codes
At the Versus Screen you will see 3 NFL Shapes under your team helmet. These symbols represent the Code Activation tumbler sequence for the hidden cheats. Each symbol is tied to the buttons on the arcade panel (or game console controller). In order the 1st symbol is the Turbo Button, the 2nd symbol is Jump, and the 3rd symbol is Pass.
There are 6 symbols that can appear, in order:
0 – NFL Logo
1 – Midway Logo
2 – Player Face
3 – Down marker
4 – Cheerleader
5 – Trophy
To activate a Cheat, you will need to press each button the corresponding amount of times and then press the directional pad in the appropriate direction. For example, if you wanted the Super Field Goals Cheat (1-2-3-Left), you would press Turbo 1 time, Jump 2 times, Pass 3 times and press Left at the end. You would see a Midway Logo, Player Face, Down Marker as confirmation.
