Who dosen't like this game? I downloaded this game from a torrent and I play it all the time. I like that whenever you have a breakaway, it zooms in and you get more focus.
Easily one of my favorite video games ever...the broadcasters were hilarious, and the presentation was great...Don Taylor should be brought back as a broadcaster for the NHL series so I can hear for more of his strange commentary.
man , i remember getting this game ifor christmas in 2001. I played this game all the time, i loved it. I havent played it iin like 4 years. gotta pull it out!
loved the songs!!!best soundtracks ever and i'm thinking of searching those songs and downloading them;)...I LOVE PATRICK ELIAS(he has a child's face!!!)i played this game for over a year...PS: LOVE THE INTRO(best intro---opinion---)
@gautamon NHL 2002 was the one with the hockey cards which activated zany and wacky bonuses, like slowing down time, but time slowing on a breakaway was introduced in 2003, son.
@Wodey25 Iam sorry, didn't know that the breakaway in 03 had time slowing. i thought that the original question was about breakaway camera only which was also in 02. anyway in 02 it was stupid because the oponent goalie stood in the view so maybe in 03 it got improved :D
I love how you could play continual seasons in this game without having to enter into a dynasty format. The following games were complete rip-offs in that regard.
how do you do to buy players in NHL 2002 in Season mode? i just know how to trade but i want to know if it is any chanse to scout or anything in this game ... xD
I still like the '99 version the best. After that 2002. '99 had it all but could improve on graphics. 2002 had the graphics and arcade style fun gameplay. So after this the game basically got better graphicaly but lost the fun completely. Why didn't they stop at 2002? Money I guess.
I miss this game. Im going to ask my dad to get me this for my 16th bday lol. I miss this game so much, i let my dad throw it away and i REALLY REGRETT IT. cause this game had my favorite caps roster of all time. CAPS FAN SINCE 97. :)
WHY IN HELL did they change the game engine from that one to the 08's?? as i watch this vid i can see that this is the engine they used until 06 right?
Sorry for the double post but I believe the PA announcer in this one and in 1998 had a sense of humor too. Anybody that can verify this? I haven't played this in a while.
"That was incredible!"..."Then don't eat it!"..."I said incredible!"
I still say that whenever anybody says incredible to this day. Mostly its not funny but it reminds me of this game. The announcing with the chipmunk voices on PS2 made it that much better. I still remember the one announcer leaving during the middle of the period to go get snacks, lulz.
I've been playing NHL games since I can remember and this one is one of my favs.
NHL 2002 was the second of the NHL series I bought (first being 2001 for PS1). I bought it for PS2 and was probably one of the best versions of the game for its time. The commentary was pretty funny with Don Taylor; at times could've been more serious, but it was good. I remember they'd actually comment more on things though, like injuries and goalie changes. Got NHL 08 on PC and it doesn't do any of that. I wish EA would just combine all the good things and sell it, instead of taking out stuff.
Nice one. From '99 till '02 the NHL games wer the best. It's funny the commentator always says a player's name twice to emphatize it. Like 'Broodeur makes the safe! Brodeuur saves it'! Instead of 'Brodeurr makes the save!'. Hee saves it!' aheh.
anyone know the old avalanche intro song in this, used to play avs vs penguins and its not fat lip, confused by videos online in 2012 cheers
