4.0 out of 5 stars ryans opinion July 7 2004
By ryan
I thought this was the best hockey playwise nhl.i havent played 2002,but play wise it is much more like the real nhl! especially the saves the goalies make,they literally steal the game or leave it tied at times! the defense is much more like real nhl,but 03',and 04' did have better graphics thats why i give it 4 stars! i highly recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hit the Ice! Dec 17 2000
By "transmission3000" - Published on Amazon.com
NHL 2001 is by far the best hockey game I've ever played. For any system. Hands down. This is a bold statement, considering I've played EA Sports' since the beginning (only skipping NHL 1999). The graphics are as crisp as any game i've seen on the PS2 thus far. When you turn the game speed up, this baby just screams. The hits are huge, and the camera movement totally fluid. The player models are also oustanding.

The only big drawbacks that this game has is the Create Your Own Player feature and the fighting. The fighting is just weak. There's only one punch to throw, it seems. The worst feature of all was one of the ones that i look forward to every year: Create A Player. The options you're given are just too oblique. You can't pick your face model or haircut, and you cannot create a very racially diverse team, to say the least. I even tried to make a player from Nigeria and he still turned out white. NHL '98 was much better from this standpoint, and i don't see why this game was left so lacking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing comes close to this beauty Oct 29 2000
By B. Battaglia - Published on Amazon.com
This is an amazing game. I dont understand people complaining about the frame rate. I have now played 20+ games in a season and I have encountered no slow down, no graphical glitches or stuttering (which would indicate frame rate problems)nothing but smooth as silk game play! The graphics are amazing, each players face is accurately modeled they even blink their eyes! The Gameplay is not overly fast, but is just about right (though you can customize game speed to your liking). My only real beef is that the higher the level you play on the worse your goalie becomes, so defense is a priority on ALL-STAR level. Players tip shots in front of the net and goal celebrations seem to change the more important the goal is. Score a tying or winning goal late in the game and the player really celebrates. Absolutely everything can be customized, rules, settings, rosters, players are all able to be tweaked to your liking. This game is great no doubt about it this and SSX is all I have been playing. If you like hockey you will love this game. I have a sega dreamcast and this game embarasses the heck out of nhl2k.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best hockey game ever! Dec 25 2001
By C. L. Stone - Published on Amazon.com
I've had my PS2 for over a year now, and NHL 2001 was the game that I bought when I got the system. After adding substantially to my PS2 game library, I find myself always going back to NHL 2001. The graphics are great, the color commentary is good (it's downright awful in NHL 2002), and the game play is phenomenal. This is easily the best game I've played for PS2, and if you're thinking about buying NHL 2002 but don't have 2001, I'd recommend picking up a used copy of 2001 for 12 bucks and saving the 40 bones that would go toward extra cut scenes (that you just end up skipping all the time after playing about a period of the game) and slightly better player faces.
