Synopsis

In NHL 2001, there are five main game modes: exhibition, season (where players can lead a team for a full season and act as the team's general manager), tournament (involving up to 16 teams), playoffs (also a 16-team format), and shootout (where players play the tiebreaker format used in international hockey). Outside of season and playoff modes, NHL 2001 allows players to use a total of 18 international teams and four all-star teams.

Several new features have been added to the mix, including the "Big Hit" and "Big Shot" buttons for improved gameplay. Another new gameplay feature is "The Momentum Meter", where a team's performance is affected by the game's momentum. Finally, like the Madden Challenge offered in EA's football title, NHL 2001 features the NHL Challenge mode. Here, players receive points for completing certain tasks during the game. These points can then be used to improve the abilities of the created players.
