NHL FaceOff 99 improves upon its predecessor by upping the number of polygons by 20% and doubling the amount of textures. Other notable features include unique player sizes and faces, motion captured player animation, forward and backward skating, plus players losing their balance and even their sticks. To go along with the now standard Icon Passing, NHL FaceOff 99 uses Icon Switching to isolate a specific player on defense.

An upbeat presentation is patterned after TV broadcasts with zooming close-ups and dramatic cut-aways. Play-by-play is handled by Mike Emrick, broadcaster of the New Jersey Devils, and color commentary is performed by ESPN2's Darren Pang. In an effort to boost the atmosphere, NHL FaceOff 99 includes hats thrown onto the rink for Hat Tricks, user selectable third jerseys, end-of-the-year player awards, international teams and authentic goalie masks. You'll also get all 27 NHL teams (including the expansion Nashville Predators) and actual players with statistics based on the 1997-98 season.

  Manufacturer's description:

NEW TV STYLE PRESENTATION: New Jersey Devils' famous broadcaster Mike Emrick delivers the play-by-play and ESPN's Darren Pang provides the color commentary. Unbelievable TV camera angles with "Zoom-Ins" and "Cut-Aways" capture the intensity like never before.

BRAND NEW GRAPHICS: State of the art player graphics include unique player sizes with specific player faces. See players lose and regain their balance, unleash violent slapshots, execute hockey stops and perform every check and goalie save imaginable. NHL arenas are recreated in lifelike detail with championship banners and Jumbotrons with animating monitors.

REVOLUTIONARY AUTHENTIC HOCKEY INTELLIGENCE: Defenses will trap in the neutral zone to stifle your attack, execute aggressive forechecking tactics forcing you to change your strategy, and goalies will even come out of the crease to get the puck. Players will set up teammates with drop passes, execute give and go's, and star players will be the focus on the attack.

ADVANCED NHL GAMEPLAY: On-the-Fly coaching strategies taken directly from the NHL. User controlled shot deflections and redirections. Deke your opponent with a fake slapshot or go top shelf with a backhander. All new Icon Switching™ on defense and updated Icon Passing™ on offense translate into pinpoint player controls.

NHL REALISM: All the NHLPA teams including the expansion Nashville Predators . Authentic goalie masks and updated uniforms with user selectable 3rd jerseys. Compete for a variety of NHL awards including the Conn Smythe, Hart Memorial, Presidents and Vezina.
