Item Description

"Y'all ready for this?" blares as the players hit the ice, and from the first faceoff NHL 2K wants you to know it is a big-time broadcast. The Dreamcast's first NHL game was developed by Black Box Games, the Vancouver studio Electronic Arts later bought and renamed EA Black Box, and published by Sega Sports in 2000 at a time when EA's own hockey series was nowhere to be found on the system.

Its looks were the headline. Lifelike player models scrape and spray across reflective ice, the arenas are full and loud, and the menus are packed with franchises, arenas and historical uniforms reaching far back into the league's past. A two-man commentary team calls the action, the triggers handle line changes and strategy on the fly, and the hitting and stickhandling run at a fast clip.

Be ready for the goaltending. NHL 2K's netminders are famously tough to beat, and reviews were split on whether that made every goal more satisfying or just made scoring a grind. Fans of the Dreamcast's sports lineup tend to rate it highly for its presentation and authenticity, while others found it more realistic than fun, so it suits hockey players who enjoy a challenge more than an arcade scoring spree.

Hockey skipped a year after this, and the series only returned to the Dreamcast with NHL 2K2 nearly two years later. That makes this the one that started 2K hockey, one of only two NHL games on the system, and a fascinating piece of the Sega Sports story made by a studio that would end up working for its biggest rival.
