NHL 2000

It was released in 1999 and was the successor to NHL 99. The cover man for versions sold in the majority of Europe was Markus Naslund of the Vancouver Canucks. A season mode with a retirement feature, drafting, and player trades were added to the series in NHL 99, and similar gameplay was used in this version, as well. Another mode in NHL 2000 is the Tournament mode, in which the user chooses 16 countries to play a round robin. The game has a total of 28 NHL teams, including the new expansion Atlanta Thrashers, which was the only team in the game that didn't exist in the 1998-99 season. Daryl Reaugh left the series as colour commentator in this game and was replaced by Bill Clement.
