NHL 2000 for PlayStation 1

Pros: Presentation; updated rosters; BIG HITS!
Cons: Too fast at times; commentary not as good as years past...

NHL 2000 is the fastest, hardest-hitting hockey game out there, which is both good and bad news for hockey fans. Electronic Arts' (EA Sports') NHL series has always had killer gameplay, and this year's version definitely delivers in that aspect, but the...

Pros: realism
Cons: blurry vision

I've always loved hockey and EA sports hockey games. This one is no exception. I don't think I ever played NHL'99, which I can't imagine being true, nevertheless I have played all the others. They simplified some of the controls in this game - no longer...

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: Nil

Have you ever dreamt of being a famous sports peronality? Ever wanted to be a goalie in the same ranks as Roy or Belfour? Ever wanted to be up there with Mike Modano and Brett Hull? This game is for YOU!

In a poetic blnd of speed, amazing...

Pros: fun, fast paced, big hits, very realistic, great way to pass some time either alon or with friends
Cons: takes time to load

If you’re already a hockey fan then you know how exciting the game can be. But if you’re not (this also goes for the fans) you must watch the opening video on this game. It has some of the biggest hits, greatest saves and unbelievable goals. The first...

Pros: Great game, fast paced, hard hitting action
Cons: None

Anyone who's familiar with EA Sports knows they make great games. Classic games such as the Madden series, Triple Play, and NBA Live. Let's not forget the most underrated of them all, the NHL series. Today, I am going to tell you why NHL 2000 is simply...

Pros: Great Color Commentary
Cons: It can't get much better

I truly believe that EA Sports has accomplished their goal in producing NHL 2000. It is a masterpiece. NHL 2000 contains everything a sports game would dream of having. With in-depth Create-a-player mode, you can create a player having the exact...

Pros: The usual standards
Cons: graphics and value suck the bag

Everybody likes this game and I really don't know why. I think it kinda sucks.
EA Sports has regrouped all the standards: all the NHL teams including the expansion Atlanta Thrashers. Graphically, this game doesn't even beat its predecessor. You'll...

Pros: Everything about it
Cons: minor bugs

I have never been a big hockey fan in my life. I've only probably seen like 4 full hockey games, so when i first started to play the EA's NHL series I was blown away. This series has been great since the 16 bit days and like the topic says the best...

Pros: Good for both arcade and sim players, decent graphics, simple interface
Cons: Stat simulation needs some improvement, Computer GMs need help

As a sports fan, I enjoy being able to emulate my favorite teams and players. As a strategy games player, I enjoy being able to have some control over coaching aspects and personnel on my team. As a purist and statistics lover, I enjoy programs which...

Pros: Better passing, skating, and graphics than '99
Cons: Poor computer AI at Pro level is not fun to play.

Overview
After playing the game for a few months, I have mixed emotions about the quality of the game and, at best, I can say that NHL 2000 is a passable sequel in the EA hockey series. NHL '99 did some things better. NHL 2000 does...

Pros: faster gameplay, great new features,
Cons: rosters not as updated as usual

Electronic Arts has always been best known for their sports games. With titles like Madden Football, the NBA Live series, and the Triple Play Baseball series. However, to me, it has always been the hockey series that has been the best series.
With...

Pros: Realism
Cons: Ugly looking crowd graphics

Ever wandered when a perfect to near perfect game would come out? Stop wandering because NHL 2000 makes every hockey game player's dream.

This game has a great opening sequence and the music is really good too. The game features the bands...

Pros: improved graphic, team creation, seasonal stats, easy learning curve
Cons: play-by-play sound lacking

NHL 2000 seems like a great game at first, but when you begin looking at details, it gradually gets worse.

The things I like best about NHL 2000 are the improvements from NHL 99. The goalies now give up slapshot goals once in a while and they...

Pros: Big Hit and Taunt button
Cons: Fighting is a little weak

NHL 2000 is the best sports game I have played ever. Year after I purchase the NHL game that comes out by EA sports and they keep improving year after year. This they did it again. Adding a big hit button adds a lot more adventure to the game. It is not...

Pros: Season mode, follows the tradition of previous versions with some good additions
Cons: Game play is similar to the 99 version: might want to make a financial decision about getting this one

In my opinion, the EA Sports series of NHL hockey games is the best series going (Madden Football is damn close). NHL 2000 continues the tradition. Plays much like the NHL 99 version so you might want to make a decision there as to whether to purchase...
