How to play NFL GameDay 2000 on Mac
Game summary
The world champion Denver Broncos approach the line-of-scrimmage, the quarterback takes the snap, he feigns left then delivers the delay hand-off to Terrell Davis, who skirts right, turns on the speed hitting the hole between the offensive tackle and the center and explodes into mid-field for a 23 yard gain. Well in this scenario, the quarterback is not the retired John Elway, but his replacement Bubby Brister, and the game is not a live broadcast but another go at 989 Studio's NFL GameDay 2000. The 2000 edition features more balanced plays, better CPU AI (including a pre-snap AI scheme), and more than 200 new motion captured animations.

Play NFL GameDay 2000 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play NFL GameDay 2000 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).
