NHL 2000 is part of a series of yearly sports games released by EA Sports. New to this game is a Season Mode where you get to simulate a season of hockey with your team of choice, completely with player drafting, retirements, and trading. And for the year 2000, it added in the Atlanta Thrashers, a team that was very new at the time of the game's release.

alexheights1 once again completes a game of hockey by ending input as early as possible, manipulating the other team (set at their hardest difficulty) into doing almost nothing to their team, who is doing nothing at all and yet manages to win anyway.
