Still The Best Sports Game Made For Looks And Feel!

by Pandemonium Pandemonium is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Games, , Jan 22 '01
Pros: Everything besides the cons. (Would say more but won't fit)
Cons: GM mode still needs improvement, a few mistakes in the commentary
Ever wonder why sports games year after year always seem to have different improvements in the same areas but, never really get it all together? Personally I think that is on purpose so they can keep getting you to buy the next years version year after ...

First checked into the boards, then into the hospital...

by rader6795 , Oct 06 '01
Pros: Great graphics, customizable soundtrack, import-a-face, decent commentary, only twenty bucks
Cons: There's no reason ten buttons shouldn't be enough for ANY sports game.
Anyone who knows my gaming history (which I go over in great length with no foreseeable end) knows that I have a little history with EA Sports' NHL series. So, as usual, I'll tell you about it because, well, I get a kick out of forcing my pathetic life...

NHL 2001: The Most Realistic Hockey You Can Play Without Losing Teeth

by Slusy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 16 '01
Pros: Realistic gameplay, good commentary, excellent graphic detail
Cons: Color commentary can be annoying, not enough difficulty settings
Nothing upsets me more than a bad hockey game. So, after being thoroughly disappointed with the debacle that is Sega's NHL2K for Dreamcast (see my review at http://www.epinions.com/content_27783892612 for more on...

This game is offensive

by NetDanzr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 24 '00
Pros: Improved sound and commentary, great graphics.
Cons: Poor gameplay due to bad camera angles and automatical adjustment of difficulty levels.
Using Christmas as an excuse, I decided not to go to work this weekend and play computer games instead. The first one I wanted to try was NHL 2001, the latest incarnation of a highly successful series. The series might have been too successful,...

It's getting closer, but not there yet.

by kazey , Oct 22 '00
Pros: better gameplay, graphics
Cons: goalies have problems still, gm mode lacking.
Well, over the years the folks at EA have heard probably millions of gripes about how easy it is to score on breakaways in the NHL series. From playing about 40 games of NHL 2k1, they fixed that problem. When i first *got* this game, i pretty much...

Best of the series!

by rsoutham , Aug 27 '01
Pros: Its Hockey at it's best!
Cons: the fighting is too short
Hockey, the fastest game on earth. Hard hits, fast paced action, fights, and lets not forget the wonderful goals. What more could you expect from a sport, let alone a game. With the excellent history EA has had making hockey games since the days of the...

NHL 2001 takes the Cup

by Gavvin , Jan 03 '01
Pros: Great graphics and gameplay
Cons: Darryl Reaugh is not the color commentator
I have been a fan of EA Sports NHL series since NHL 96. I have watched them improve the series a little every year and I always look forward to the next release.

In the past, the NHL series has been more arcade-like than a simulation of...

Didn't see Lemieux's Big Game: I was busy playing NHL 2001!!

by JHershey , Dec 28 '00
Pros: graphics, gameplay, internet play is beefed up
Cons: not as much "afterseason" information, no practice mode (although for many it isn't a con!)
EA Sports just keeps getting better and better. Every new game that comes out puts the one-two punch to the Microsoft, Activison, and all other sports game, and NHL 2001 was a TKO baby!

The hits, the dekes, the saves, the fights, the...

NHL 2001 - As Close as they come!

by davis_bling , Nov 26 '00
Pros: Game Play, Re-play Value, Sound, Graphics
Cons: Poor Manual
Sports games have always been popular. Until recently, though, none have ever successfully emulated sports realistically. Sure, the rules are the
same: six points for a touchdown, you have to hit the ball inside the white lines, no more than three...

You mean EA Sports finally got it right?! No way!

by churst , Nov 02 '00
Pros: FINALLY! This plays much more like an actual hockey game.
Cons: Gee, not much. I guess the menu music gets worse as the years go by.
If you read my opinion on NHL 2000, then you'll know that I am one of probably thousands of people who were beginning to give up on ever seeing EA Sports showing any interest in actually developing a semi-realistic hockey game.

NHL 2001 provides solid hockey simulation

by Renmazuo , Feb 12 '01
Pros: Spectacular graphics, gameplay.
Cons: The occassional goalie AI letdown.
NHL 2001 is the latest installment of hockey games by EASPORTS and comes at you with better graphics and game play from its predecessors.

NHL 2001- Sports Game of the Year

by TheGregWitul , Oct 18 '00
Pros: The whole game.
Cons: If you have a computer lower than 500 MHz, this game is not for you.
EA Sports is known for putting out realistic updated sports games which simulate the real thing. I'm not the biggest hockey fan in the world, but I will tell you this, EA Sports NHL games are the best out of any of the four major sports.

NHL 2001 Wins the Cup

by wes_85 , Feb 20 '01
Pros: By Far the most realistic Game by EA Sports and other NHL games
Cons: I can't get my face right in the create a player
This is the most realistic game I have ever played because it’s like you put on your skates and gloves and take place in the action as if you were on the ice. I am a huge NHL fan and have played most of the versions of EA sports NHL series including...
