NHL 2001 for Windows

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 ...

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...

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...

Pros: Graphics, Modes, Jersey a lot of things
Cons: sometimes slow

NHL 2001 is a great game for any NHL fan or hockey player. The graphics are exceptional, the game is easy to understand, the modes are interesting plus much more!

Big Hits

This is one of the greatest parts of NHL 2001. You...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

"Vancouver Goal...

Pros: Excellent graphics, great features, great music, lots of fun and replay value
Cons: None

Here, I am, out from under the little rock I was hiding, returning to Epinions.com again to enlighten my fellow Epinionologists with yet another interesting review.

How's that for a run-on sentence? :)

Anyhow, I'm here to review NHL...

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.

NHK 2001 tries to bring as much of the game of hockey right into your pc so that you can experience the...

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...

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...
