NHL 2001 for Windows

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: Great graphics, smooth gameplay
Cons: none

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: 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: 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...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
