It's an other year already and an other of the NHL series. This time, it's more than just adding tiny details that no one even notices. NHL 2001 is more realistic than all of the previous NHL games rolled in one. The graphics are exceptionally good. Even without a 3D card, I can have good on-play details. It is important to have a fast processor though. As usual, NHL is difficult to get used to at first. It's a very fast game and it takes practise to get the control buttons right and make your player do what you intended him to do!

From playing about 40 games of NHL 2k1, they fixed that problem. When i first got this game, i pretty much expected it to be in the dumps, since NHL 2000 sucked. The demo sucked too, it was as if players were fed steriods intravenously in that game. Interface, it's pretty slick, pretty much the same as previous years, although it'd be nice to display all the players on your teams attributes on one screen, but that's asking too much. Modes, the usual, nothing added. You can create your own jerseys now, but thats ...
