Game Notes

This Patch for NHL 2000 corrects and improves a number of issues that
were discovered after releasing the game. We apologize for the delays
on the release of this patch.

Note that the Matchup Server (NHL 2000 Lobby) connection problem was
fixed on the Server end - no patch is necessary to connect reliably to
the NHL 2000 Lobby.

The issues addressed in the patch include:

Fixed the crowd chants for Carolina and Calgary.

Fixed the bug where the player and goalie boost sliders would get reset
to the global settings in Season, Tournament, and Playoffs.

Decreasing the lag in multiplayer games (Internet, Modem, & LAN).

After entering any mode of single player gameplay, then playing a multi-
player game the game would desynch.

Improving the AI forechecking - both in even strength situations and on
CPU powerplays.

Improving the defence so that they will attack the puck carrier better.
As well a bug where 2on2 and 1on1 situations were not being detected
properly will be fixed - the defence will now position themselves better
so that you won't be able to blow by the defender as easily. Also defend-
ers will now provide incidental contact to the puck carrier when near
them, even if the defender has another target.

Positioning the goalies better for in-close shots -- so that the "cut
across the net", "wrap around", and "modified Genesis deke" goals are a
LOT less frequent. As well, the "hard shot from along the boards and
trickling in" goal will also be a LOT less frequent.

Decreasing the number of penalty shots being awarded in the game.

Tweaking passing so that they are not as accurate every time. You should
see more pucks being intercepted or deflected from its intended path.

Tweaking backhand shots to be less accurate than they currently are.

Decreasing injury occurrences during gameplay.

Fixing fatigue in Pro mode so that the players will actually get tired
enough for you to have to use more than 2 lines.

Swapping fatigue status between Power play and Penalty Killing Lines.

Allowing you to knock the puck off of players skating backwards.

Eliminating the secondary fail-safe 3D card resolution check - this
means that Voodoo 2 SLI configs (and other 3D cards that can actually
go above 800x600 but can't in NHL 2000) will be able to go higher than
800x600.

Allowing access to the team based Player Boost and Goalie Boost sliders
for the Commissioner in Season, Tournament, and Playoffs. This means that
you can now adjust the boost sliders separately for each team in these
modes, instead of only being able to adjust these sliders globally.

Changing 3Dsetup to recognize PowerVR 250 chipsets.

Correcting some language errors for Finnish.

Correcting a few arena team chants - they were swapped with each other.

*NOTE*
U might need to run 3dsetup if the game complains about your videocard
settings.. seems the ripp complains sometimes!!!

This is Patch 2 for sure, my pc magazin has it and ea sports page too.
Patch Archive #1 filesize was 4173824 byte and Patch archive #2 file-
size is 4202658 bytes, any further questions ? NO ! And after calling
EA-Germany a nice woman told me that i can be sure its patch #2 !
