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,...
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.
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.
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.
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...
Pros: real players, great control, awesome music and SFX Cons: bad color scheme in menu
OK, I got the idea, EA: "There can be only one!". Hockey game, that is. This game will be your sports bible, model, monument, you name it. Up to this date, no one had surpassed the EA NHL series on PC or anywhere. If you do not own this game...
Pros: Very fast gameplay, incredable hits, all your favorite stars. Cons: There are really none
The NHL hockey games by EA have been around for a long long time, and every year the game has a new feature that makes it about twenty to thrity times better, and they keep the things that made it good, so in about three years the game will be so...
Pros: excellent graphics, career play, customizable AI settings Cons: system requirements a little steep
You've all heard the EA Sports line, "If it's in the game, it's in the game." Well this year's version of NHL captures more than ever. I've been playing this series since 1993 and this is the best ever. I was disappointed with NHL 2000 but...
Pros: Adjustable Game & AI Settings Cons: Controller Settings & Config
No easy poke-check
Shooting & Blocking
Ask most people to pick a sports game line that has been good year in and year out and they will probably tell you the NHL series by EA Sports. For the most part I agree with them. However I have found the games to improve little, except graphically,...
Pros: Great AI, customizable Cons: Face imports, no custom team season
I don't buy many computer games anymore but there is a game that I buy every year. The EASPORTS NHL series. I've been buying this series since 1995 and every year it somehow gets better.
First off, what I recommend is that if you really...
Pros: Gameplay, graphics are excellent Cons: Memory usage can be high
I've followed the NHL game series for a number of years, and I can honestly say that NHL 2001 is the best that I've seen so far. EA Sports has done an excellent job in capturing the essence of hockey, and mating it with great gameplay.
Pros: great graphics, fights, easy controls, great customizable features Cons: the only cons I see are that the refs need a little more work on their polygons
I must say I have played many sports games in my life starting with my original NES, w/ titles such as Track and Field, and numerous others. I've played on all major systems except for Playstation 2 and must say out of all of them this is by far the...
Pros: Life-like graphics, Great commentating, music and special effects, etc. Cons: Unrealistic camera angles
$39.99....hmmn...is it really worth it to buy a computer game for this amount of money. It seems reasonable, considering that N64, Playstation, and any other new cartridge system's games are about $50 brand new. So...I guess I will try it and return it...
Pros: Very fun game, excellent graphics, and sound. Good multiplayer and single player modes. Cons: Single player mode pretty tough in advanced settings. Gamepad a must!
I have not played any of the other NHL versions by EA Sports so cannot compare to them. However this game is great. It is fun, the graphics are great and in my opinion blows away the console version, which I have played. Great stats available as well as...
Pros: Computer more challenging Cons: No custom teams in season mode
NHL 2001, the newest release, is vastly improved over the previous releases of the game. The opening sequence before games takes you into the home team's locker room, and as the player's leave it to go onto the ice, the camera comes around to show them...
Pros: Graphics, Create-a-team, Create-a-player, Fun factor, Importing music. Cons: No "zamboni simulator"... thats about all thats missing from this great game.
What a game. As someone who has watched and played hockey for nearly my entire life, I can say that this is the most fun hockey game out there. Every team, player, and arena in the NHL is in there, and a lot more. You can create your own players,...
Pros: Probably best all around sports game period. Cons: Need a good PC. I Recommend An Athlon.
I wanted to try getting some good sports games, so first I downloaded the demo version of this game. That was impressive, so I bought the full version, and that is even better!
The action is NHL 2001 is superb. I prefer to play in...
Pros: The best hockey game ever Cons: None it is amazing
If you thought NHL 2000, wait until you play NHL 2001, and your sure to witness the greatest hockey game ever released. A huge improvement on NHL 2000, which was good enough, this new hockey game has all the things you want in a game of hockey - player...
Pros: great interface, great graphics Cons: with a slow computer, you might have a little trouble running it
EA sport games are known to be one of the most highly recommended and played games available on the market. I have played many other sports games and i have to admit i prefer EA (electronic arts.
I purchesed this game because i heard amazing...
Pros: Huge hits, lots of international teams. Cons: Can't hurt people as bad as I had hoped.
I have NHL 2001 for my Sony PS2, and I love it. First of all, it's a great game for all of those things like graphics and audio and whatsuch. However, the thing I really like is the fact that you can mess up junkers like Roberts Springis and Andris...
Pros: Nice hits, AI controls, Import Your Own Music (ditties), New Rosters Cons: Custom team can't be used for season mode, Repetitive Announcers, Same Game as the other NHL games
This is going to be the best hockey game ever, this was what I thought when I looked at the synopsis. Wow, bone crunching hits, new goaltender moves, custom teams!!!! It just doesn't get better than this was what I thought when I bought the game....
I usually don't buy software, but in this case I played the demo and I had to have it! The gameplay is so smooth with this game, it puts all other games to shame, including last year's NHL2000. They improved the faces on the players, have a good...
Pros: EVERYTHING! Cons: The FleetCenter isn't licensed
This game is the best, hands down. No other game even comes close. NHL 2001 by EA Sports finally brings gamers what they have been looking for. The gameplay is so realistic and customizable you can have fights ever 5 minutes and huge hits or no fights...
Pros: Enhanced gameplay, User-Friendly Interface, Quality Sound and Commentary Cons: Does not contain all 2001 rookies, may skip on slower machines
EA Sports raised the bar yet again with the latest installment in the NHL series. A step above the last version, NHL 2000, with increased graphics and commentary, along with an easy to use interface makes 2001 a fantastic game. It's season mode...
Pros: sound effects,doesn't take long to load. Cons: crowds so loud you cant hear the commentators
The reason why I love this game is, because I heard great reviews about it. So, I decided to buy it. Plus, I love hockey! I think it's the best hockey game ever! All 30 teams including the expansion teams Columbus Blue Jackets and the Minnesota Wild....
Pros: Amazing graphics and wonderful gameplay control Cons: Announcer limited and repetitive vocabulary
Top Shelf all the way! In true EA Sports fashion, they just keep getting better. The players look like, well, themselves and the action is fast and furious. But if it's too fast, change it. If the puck is too slow, or the ice to slick, change it....
Pros: Improved gameplay options vs. older versions Cons: commentary still repetative
I'll have to admit something, besides NHL 2001 the last NHL game I bought was NHL 98. I played the others in between and none have come close to NHL 2001. I think anyone who says that there are not enough levels of difficulty are crazy. Besides the basic...
Pros: Gameplay,Graphics , Multiplay ,& Options Cons: Lack of things to do with the jerseys and theres nothing really new with this years eddition
NHl 2k1 was really wasent that bad. I like the ability to be able to continue a franchies . It was simular to Madden 2k which in my opinion was great because of the ablility to draft after the season and so you could build a powerhouse for decades to...
Pros: XTreme graphic detail Cons: The setup of controls
This one is a must buy for real hockey fans. This is an extremely detailed game, from its main graphics, to its mouth movements, when they talk. And the sound is amazing, especially when you punch someone in fights. Oh yeah, the best part about the game...
