With that said I d have to say that the customizability of NHL 2001, like the other games in this series, is to definitely to be admired. Just like in any game this of course makes it much easier to play. With that note on controls I think it is also important to mention that it may be tempting to use that rusty old keyboard of yours since hey you only need the direction keys and 4 buttons assigned for deke, shoot, pass, and speed burst. Unfortunately it is quite a pain to play with the keyboard. This is one of the few games I will ever recommend using a gamepad for.
