    This is a great game even if you do not watch hockey. After winning the cup, I thought the game was over, right? WRONG! Like most sports games you play many seasons. I did not know this by reading. But it was cool. After about 5 seasons, most of my team was gone. But new, fake guys came up. If you had a late pick in the draft, that guy sucks. So I say buy this game and if you don't This is a great game even if you do not watch hockey. After winning the cup, I thought the game was over, right? WRONG!

    A truly enjoyable hockey experience. I do not look at the graphics, which are not that bad either, but at the great gameplay. You'll play it again and again. The AI is superb and it puts you in the game! Exellent game! If you love hockey, sport, or own a playstation, go buy this game! NOW!!

    While the PS2/PC version is better. This title isn't bad by any means. It has all the features you would expect. The engine is more or less the same as in NHL 2000 on the PS1.

    By combining excellent graphics, strong gameplay, superlative control, and outstanding features, it's a fitting end to an excellent era in console hockey.

    This may be the best single player experience (EA has) come up with yet.

    While it's not the most beautiful hockey video game, NHL 2001 comes through where it counts - the gameplay.
