How to play NFL Blitz Pro on Mac

Game summary

The mega-popular arcade-style Blitz football series returns with NFL Bliz: Pro for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. For the first time in the series' long-running history Blitz will feature a slew of realistic NFL elements mixed with the fast-paced and action-centered gameplay that fans have come to know and love. New 11-on-11 gameplay takes the action to the pro-level; making it possible to include every player, team and position. An extensive new ten-season Franchise Mode allows gamers to experience player trading and drafting, and improved graphics and animations take advantage of motion-capture technology; making those bone-crunching hits painfully realistic.
First released: Dec 2003

Play NFL Blitz Pro on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play NFL Blitz Pro on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

NFL Blitz Pro installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2

Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install NFL Blitz Pro like you would on any PC.
