NHL 99

The story mode has been improved with a greater emphasis on player development. Players can now have streaks that affect their abilities, making them stronger or weaker depending on their performance. This adds a layer of realism to the game and makes it more challenging for players.

Gameplay has also been tweaked, with computer opponents becoming smarter and more realistic. The shooting mechanics have been improved, allowing for easier slap shots and requiring players to face the goal when attempting certain types of shots. A new special move has also been added, allowing players to perform dekes, spin-o-ramas, and other advanced moves.

The game also includes new commentary from Jim Hughson and Darryl Reaugh, who provide play-by-play and color commentary during matches.
