EA SPORTS introduces an all-new video game experience for action and sports gamers in the newest iteration to its award-winning NHL Hockey Series. NHL 2000 adds dedicated 'big hit' and 'big deke' buttons to its in-depth gameplay. The game will keep hard-core hockey and sports gamers alike satisfied with a full dynasty mode.
