Pros: Graphics, sound, options, gameplay, online leagues
Cons: Only 10 seasons in career mode, online play a little laggy

As a big fan of Fox Sports' NHL Championship 2000 (which I've also reviewed, if you care to look), I wasn't sure about trying EA's NHL 2000. I've heard all the complaints about the AI in EA hockey games, and I even experienced some of those problems...

Pros: online leagues, fight sequences, great music
Cons: can't pronounce your name if it is difficult

Of all the hockey games on the market EA Sports NHL 2000 has the most unique features. After playing NHL 1996-99 and other brands of hockey games this is the ultimate playing experience.

There is a new career mode that not only lets you play...

For those of you who are Hockey fans, this is almost like the real thing. Even down to the violence of fights between the players. The action is fast and furious which means the AI is very competetive. The AI is quick to steal the...

Pros: Realistic gameplay and graphics!
Cons: Unless you learn how to score by watching other humans, learning to score can be difficult.

Wow is the word that can accurately describe this title. As a proud owner of NHL 2000, I can say I'm impressed. I actually bought an 8-button gamepad just for this game! With complete rosters, pictures, and even play-by-play announcing for every...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, Very realistic, major fun
Cons: Keyboard play is funky

If you're even considering picking up the most recent installment of EA's NHL games, NHL 2000, I would say it is entirely worth the purchase price.

Pros: Very realistic, and detailed.
Cons: Bad commentary, Annoying music.

NHL 2000 is the best hockey game for a computer I have ever played. The graphics are amazing, the players look like the real thing. The game isn’t very hard to learn it took two games before I was whipping them. There are multiple online features, which...

Cons: May Get Hooked :)

EA Sports once again brings out a new version of it's most popular hockey game, NHL 2000. It's loaded with a couple of new advancements in all aspects of the game as well as many new features as well. Currently, the NHL series from EA Sports is the most...

Pros: great graphics, great physics, realistic player draft and trades, all in all everything is great
Cons: it loads slow on older machines (366 and lower)

...and once more EA Sports does it. This game not only is it the best hockey simulation on the market, but it makes you feel that you're on the ice with the players. EA Sports used to be the leading sports game company out there, but this year many...

Pros: Fluid Gameplay, computer trades, great graphics
Cons: Nothing major

I have owned every release of EA's NHL game, and NHL2000 is definately the top of the class. EA has made many minor improvements, which make this the best NHL hockey game on the market.

First, the graphics in this version are tremendous. EA...

Pros: Graphics, sound, features, season, players....
Cons: Um... yea... let me think

What is the main reason my GPA went down this semester? Okay, partly because I decided studying wasn't the highest thing on my priority list, but more importantly, I bought NHL 2000. I played NHL 1999 religiously last year and I bought this game the...

Pros: About everything is great
Cons: N/A

EA Sports hits it big with another great game! I have had many good experience and great satisfaction with all of the many sports games from EA Sports that i have purchased. Every year they get bigger and better and NHL 2000 has lived up to all of...

Pros: great graphics, realistic sounds
Cons: slows down sometimes

I absolutely love sports games on the computer, especially those made by Electronic Arts (who I feel is the best sports game publisher out there). I'm also a huge hockey fan, so naturally, I had to try out the newest game in the NHL series, NHL 2000....

Pros: faster play, realistic crowd noise
Cons: difficult to score till u get the hang of it

The new release from EA Sports in the NHL series proves to be a stellar effort with vast improvements from the previous release NHL 99. NHL2000 has clean graphics and the speed of play has picked up. It takes a little more skill to keep from missing...

Pros: great play,
Cons: none

I am an avid Hockey fan, and I decided after much debate to purchase NHL2000 for my PC. I was very impressed. The play is lifelike and accurate. The graphics are very nice; the computer generated players look like the real deal, expressions and all....

Pros: great gameplay, graphics, userbility
Cons: high system requirements

Having to shell out $50 for a game is something that I am not often apt to do but I got every pennies worth with NHL 2000.

The game play is fast and furious and the graphics are extraordinary. Levels can go from beginner (easy) to professional...

Pros: Graphics, Features
Cons: Nothing

I will tell you I have a PC and a Playstation and my friend goes out and buys anything, mostly crap, but I have 1 game on my computer and 3 on my playstation I only buy unless I'm sure that it's worth my money and I won't regret it later. This game has...

Pros: sounds, sights, super game-play
Cons: figures are polygonial

this game has got it all. Sounds, players, graphics, audience, stadium, commentary, etc. EA does it again. This is one of my favorite sports simulation games of all time. My favorite part is checking the other players into their other players. It sounds...

Pros: Detail
Cons: Repetitive play-by-play. Repetitive play-by-play. Repetitive play-by-play.

"If it's in the game, it's in the game."

Got that right.

I don't think I've seen a more complete game yet. NHL 2000 has everything I could possibly want in a hockey game. Career mode, full season, the ability to bounce the...

Pros: Great AI play, announcing
Cons: Slow loading sometimes

If you love hockey and if you have ever played the EA Sports NHL games, your gonna love this version of the game. Ive been playing EA Sports NHL games since 1995 and if they keep on making they way they have been Im gonna keep buying it.

This...

Pros: Fun, Addictive, Gorgeous
Cons: Limited Career Play

Though it could be improved, NHL 2000 is very addictive and very fun.

This edition of EA Sports’ hockey series is a big improvement over the two previous versions I have played (’95 and ’99). First, the graphics are approaching...

Pros: Looks great, neat features
Cons: Plays horribly, and just about everything else

Save yourself some serious headaches and pass up NHL 2000 on the shelves. I have owned every EA NHL hockey game for PC since '95, and this is by far the worst one. It may look the prettiest and boast the most features, but there are so many bugs, I had...

Pros: Nice graphics, GM mode, neat little on ice graphics, internet play
Cons: game flaws..a ton of them

For some stupid reason ..my epinion got deleted
I dont particularly feel like writing it again..so heres a synopsis.

The game is good for beginners to hockey and people who like eye candy. Theres plenty of that here, and its a good fast...

Pros: Excellent graphics and gameplay
Cons: None

Have you ever seen intro movies to games, and said "Wow, I wish the game would look like this!" Your wish has come true. NHL 2000 has some of the best graphics I have ever seen in a game with this much action.

You'll need a pretty...

Pros: Great gameplay, lots of options, and loads of fun.
Cons: Internet play can be jerky, AI occasionally makes mistakes, but only HARDCORE hockey players would notice.

Well it's that time again, and EA is still at the top of the sports game market, at least when it comes to hockey. The game takes some getting used to, but it's worth it. The gameplay is smooth, the animation fast, and the hits HARD. Even the AI is...

Pros: Great graphics, sound, and much improved AI
Cons: Still too easy to beat the computer on any skill level

Around the end of September every year, I make a daily pilgrimage to my local Future Shop to check the new releases section for the latest release of EA Sports yearly offering of their NHL hockey series. Because, I live in a relatively small town in...

Pros: The best computer game ever made.
Cons: Biff

I have been an E A Sports hockey fan since 1994. I played nonstop with my friend Ross. We played every day, and we got really good at it. E A then came out with 95, which we looked so much forward to, but which underceded our expectations very much....

Pros: best graphics in a hockey game yet
Cons: horrible flaws in AI, and gameplay

You'd think a series would get better over time. EA's NHL 2000 suddenly brightens my mood after i heard that EA will not be producing for the dreamcast. I've had every EA sports hockey title since NHLPA '93 for the genesis. NHL 98 was the first PC hockey...

Pros: superb graphics/sound, no competition, a definite improvment over it's predecessors
Cons: still plays more like an arcade game than an accurate simulation

Living in central Indiana, I have the misfortune of having no exposure to hockey other than ESPN broadcasts. (Our minor-league team's name is, no joke, The ICE. Yes, our mascot is frozen water. BRILLIANT!) However, this limited exposure has convinced...

Pros: Amazing Graphics, Superior Gameplay, easy interface
Cons: Primarily an arcade game, puck physics aren't realistic

EA Sports has a reputation for producing graphically beautiful games, and NHL 2000 makes it obvious why. The player models are stunning, with a level of detail that pushes the limits of current PC graphics technology. The way their faces are animated to...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I have never seen a hockey game look so good. I mean the graphics are awesome, the gameplay is awesome and the smoothness of it is awesome. I have followed the EA Sports NHL games since 98 and each year, it continued to...

Pros: Excellent graphics, realistic play, players in the game reflect their performanc in the NHL
Cons: Crappy music, boring color commentary - same stories a million times.

I think the only bad thing I can say about this game is that the background music sucks. So I turn it down low and have a good time.

My happiness with this game relates mostly to having previously only played the EA Sports NHL games on...

Pros: Awsome gameplay, Options Galore, Good interface
Cons: Internet Gameplay, Too many Injuries

They went straight down the center, And hits this puck top shelf. No chance.

What a Game! Now, I have NHL 97-99 and those were fun, of course, the big flaw in 97 was the obvious skate-stop by the goal and it would slide in. 98 was the...

Pros: Improvement on the best
Cons: Need roster updates for seasons in progress

As someone who has played EA SPorts NHL games since NHL '95, I am amazed at their ability to keep improving the game from year-to-year. More than simply taking advantage of advances in graphics cards, EA always manages somehow to improve the realism...

Pros: great graphics, can play a full season
Cons: too easy to score, fighting could be better

This is a super game. The graphics are wonderful; many of the players look like they do in real life. The game contains numerous camera angles and skill levels, which make it easy for anyone to play. The players are capable of doing almost anything-...

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: NONE

NHL 2000 is the greatest hockey simulation game ever made. After buying and playing NHL 96-99 I can see how much superior this version of the game is to past versions released. This new version also comes with new features which are very cool. First...

Pros: Great graphics, gameplay, replay value
Cons: High scoring games

When I first saw NHL 2000 on the shelf, I was very skeptical. Previous installments in the NHL series were very stale and the control was not that good. NHL 2000 solves all the problems of the previous installments of the game. This game rocks in...

Pros: Fun at first, fast gameplay, extra features
Cons: too easy, not anything like real hockey

Normally, I am not particularly good at video games, but this one is about as easy as they come once you get the hang of it. A normal hockey score would be about four to two, and one player with three goals (a hat trick) is a major accomplishment....

Pros: Graphics, Creation Mode, Gameplay
Cons: The AI is sometimes weak

This game is BY FAR the best sports game in the world today. The series keeps getting better and better (in my opinion). Most of the computer game magazines say High Heat Baseball is the best sports game probably because they are American magazines. If...

Pros: great fun
Cons: none

I could easily understand somebody not wanting to try this after the two previous games. NHL 98 was had fast action and hard hits - not to mention the fights, but was ridiculously hard to score on. Then there was NHL 99, ridiculously easy to score but...

Pros: Face Implementation, Easy Graphical Setup, Fun!
Cons: Lengthy time to create a player

How can you not love a game that allows you to put your own face right into it!! You can actually see what you look like beside the pros!! With a very easy to use interface I wasted no time in putting my face into the game. Eric Lindros and I look...

Pros: Few new moves
Cons: Not worth the money

Hrrm..I just bought NHL 2000 not to long ago, and when I played it, the only thing that I saw was different was a few new moves and it was alot harder then NHL 99. In that case, it wasnt worth the money, maybe I am just missing something here, but for a...

Pros: Great graphics, sound, everything
Cons: Sometimes lag on internet

I purchased this game because I'd seen before and I liked the idea of hockey of the internet. I chose this game over other because it's best in everything including price and it is the only one that I know of. The graphics are great with pictures on...

Pros: Great graphics, online play
Cons: no payroll in season modes

I purchased this game because I am a big fan of Hockey. Me and my friend have a copy if each NHL since 1994. Although there is no huge improvement from NHL99, It is the best available. One thing that I particularly enjoy is online play, which is great (a...

Pros: online leagues, new career mode, adding your face into the game.
Cons: career mode can only be played for only 5 seasons max

NHL 2000 is the greatest hockey simulation game ever made. After buying and playing NHL 96-99 I can see how much superior this version of the game is to past versions released. This new version also comes with new features which are very cool. First...

Pros: Great Graphics, Great Net Play
Cons: NONE

After playing 2 games via the cable modem (directly, EA's server is flaky), I was blown away.

I was so happy I owned this game. It's about time a game like this can be played FLUIDLY via an internet connection, granted high-speed.

I...

Pros: Overall a real good game.
Cons: Gets boring.

In August I went to a few gaming sites, saw a preview of NHL 2000. Now, there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to buy this game, just because Electronic Arts usually produces a great title.
Two days after it came out, my friend and I went...

Pros: Realism, smoothness
Cons: Annoying commentary

This is by far the most real sports game I have ever played. Growing up in Buffalo NY I grew up with hockey. I have played, watched, followed it my entire life. I gotta tell you this captures the entire NHL hockey experience perfectly. It doesnt get...

Pros: Incredible Detailed
Cons: Bad Multiplayer

EA SPORTS knows how to make sports games. I have been playing their hockey games since '93, and they always amaze me. The graphics, sound, and realism in this game is top-notch. The Career mode is loads of fun, Tournament mode is very well-done,...

Pros: Amazing graphics, awesome sound, insanely fun!
Cons: AI is kinda weak and it'll never please EVERYONE.

Much has been said about EASports losing it's way and going for a more arcade style game in all of it's franchises, NHL included. However, after playing NHL2000, I'm not complaining! The game is the most fun team sports game available for PC and has...

Pros: Superb graphics and music; great control and playing style
Cons: Fans in the stadium seem to be occasionally flat; players can't get a shot on goal from behind mid-ice

It seems that most problems with sports games has to do with its realism; whether it be its graphics, sound, control, options, or overall gameplay. While a good number of hockey games lack the realistic goal scoring or saves by the goalie by the angles...

Pros: Great game unbelieveably lifelike
Cons: System requirements are kinda high

Finally a Hockey Game with realistic faces and moves!! Granted I never Played NHL99, but this game definatly blows away NHL98. The biggest improvements in my mind are the improved camera angles and the realistic movements of the players. This game lets...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

To tell you the truth, I didnt buy this game. I bought three boxes of cheerios, mailed the order form for the special offer, and got it for free. (Yes, I eat cheerios!) Pretty good deal for a game THIS good.
This game just plain rocks. This is as...

Pros: Relistic difficulty levels, CPU initiated trades, Face importation to created players
Cons: if you have graphics set to full it runs slow....just run it at half instead, no need to see all the peoples faces in the crowd :)

By far the best NHL game that is out for the PC, it surpasses all the old EA sports hockey games. I own NHL 98,99, and now 2000 and the diffrence isn't all the much but the little diffrences that there are, make it worth buying.

First off they...

Pros: improved graphics, gameplay, scoring
Cons: more challenging defense

I have been buying hockey games ever since I bought my first computer (3 years go) and I have been impressed with one line of games-- EA Sports NHL series. The newest installation, NHL 2000, is the best yet. Improved graphics make you feel like you are...

Pros: Great Graphics,Sound is Clear,Good AI & Season mode!
Cons: Fighting (Could have been better)

When i bought this game i thought it was going to be another Out of the blue hockey game , But NHL 2000 is AWSOME ! it has the best graphics for a hockey game looks allmost real . The game is very fun to play 1 or 2 player its a great fash paced game....

Pros: Awesome Everything!
Cons: Same stupid announcers

Another amazing hit from EA sports. When this game came out I was hesitant to buy it. My thinking was simply that '99 was so amazing how could this be better? The answer: it was better in nearly every way. Stunning graphics! With a souped up machine...

Pros: Great Graphics, ability to create players
Cons: Hard to figure out internet controls

Being an avid hockey fan, alright Hockey Nut, when I saw NHL 2000 I just had to have it. I hadn't bought a new hockey game for my pc since NHL 98. I brought it home, installed it on my computer and instantly fell in love with it. The graphics are much...

Pros: FUN, FUN, FUN, good graphics, great sound, and hard hits
Cons: needs patches from EA Sports to reach its potential

I got this game for two bucks on an offer off of a Cheerios box offer and it came in the mail five days later. From the minute I opened it up untill now (two weeks) I haven't stopped playing it.
This game simply rocks. The checks look...

Pros: graphics, realism of play, AI, ways to score and hit
Cons: I don't like the blues, so the cover annoys me (GO COYOTES)

Hockey games in the past haven't been all that fantastic, and most people can admit that. NHL 2000, on the other hand, takes all that was bad in those old hockey games, and makes them right. With amazing graphics, and dazzling moves, goals, and hits,...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Loading time

NHL 2000 has to be the all around best sports game I have ever played. It has the right sound, graphics and controls. I purchased this game to have fun and to get enjoyment. I was not disappointed.

One of the most amazing things about this...

Pros: Graphics, options
Cons: AI still needs some work

Even though this game is almost a year old and Nhl 2001 is on the horizon, it is still arguably the best hockey game ever made up to now. It has unbelieveable graphics, sound, and physics. Of course the hardest aspect to perfect in a sports game is the...

Pros: Great game for beginners
Cons: Bad game for experienced people

When I first got NHL 2000 from a cheerio offer, I installed it, but had no way of learning the game. (I still have a hernia from all the cheerios I had to eat)It took me a while to learn how to do something easy like checking out speed burst. Fourtantely...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

I play it the most out of all the games i have and i have 20 something. It doesn't get boring like other hockey sims and the career development and rookie draft is great.
Gameplay: Gameplay is great the goalies are good but not so good that you get...

Pros: to much stuff i'll run out of room
Cons: dont have the expansion team,like qpanbani you'll get hooked

This is a great game,it rules big time!It has tutoril,on-line mode,season,great sounds.Sometimes when you get a pentaly a player come up and taunts you it's so funny!It's not easy to score it's a bigger and better challenge.what dose 350 times 100,000 I...

I have seen all the different things that EA Sports has done with its NHL series, i have been buying them since NHLPA '93 for sega and first got a hockey game for the PC in 96 with NHL 96 and never went back to a console. This game is the most action...

Pros: Realistic, good AI, easy format
Cons: some options hard to figure out, internet opions difficult to use

I recently invested in NHL 2K. As a fan of the entire EA Sports universe, I trusted that this game would hold up to my expectations, and it has surpased them. First of all, the entire idea of putting my face into the game as a character grabbed my...

Pros: Gameplay, Sound, Features
Cons: Same Old Graphic Engine, AI and Commentary

First off, EA did some good work on this game by adding a face import feature which is sort of neat, if you get it to work. The menus and graphics in the game are good, but they could be better because they are still using there old graphics engine from...

Pros: Gameplay, grapics are improved, all around performance
Cons: Put your face in the game isn't very good

NHL 2000 is the most realistic hockey simulation on the market today.

Where to begin. All the hockey simulation gamers know that last year's version of the successful NHL series from EA sports is a tough act to follow, but NHL 2k has...

Pros: Game play, graphics, new features
Cons: Once you find a way to score, it's not as hard

I've been a big hockey fan my whole life and a hockey player since I was 9 years old so I know a thing or two about hockey. I have also played video games since I was a child, giving me plenty of experience in that area too. Now having said both of...

Pros: Bone crushing hits!
Cons: none

This is my favorite hockey computer game. I have been buying the NHL's since 95 and this is definitely the best one! NHL 2000 definitely packs a punch. You can feel the action packed hits. I put this on my computer and I can't stop playing it. What...

Pros: awesome graphics, fun
Cons: nothing big

I'll start off by saying that NHL 2000 is the best hockey game for PC out now. Awesome graphics, great sound, and incredibly fun gameplay, all in one.

EA Sports' NHL series has come a long way. It's always had great graphics, and NHL 2000...
