MEMORY CARD
You can save any game, at its current level of progress (except Exhibition), onto a MEMORY CARD (sold separately). You can also resume play on previously saved games. Insert a MEMORY CARD into slot 1 of the PlayStation® game console before starting play. If a MEMORY CARD is full, you won't be able to save games to it. Delete unwanted data or reformat the card before starting play.
Important
Do not remove a MEMORY CARD while saving or loading games; doing so could damage the game data.

In multiplayer games, the other players select their team and control mode in the same way.
PLAY HOCKEY
FACEOFF
Watch the referee skate up to the players for the faceoff. Just as he drops the puck, press the X button to try and win control of the draw. The Directional Button that you press determines where you send the puck if you win the faceoff.
LINE CHANGES
NHL Championship™ 2000 defaults to Line Changes = Off.
COACHING
Coaching defaults to Auto, which means that all strategy decisions are handled by the computer.
GOALIE
Select Goalie: Tap the R2 button to take control of the goalie (this is available if Goalie is set to Manual.). Once you get control of the puck with the goalie, you can:
•
Pass by pressing the X button.
•
Smother the puck by pressing the button. (This stops play and forces a face-off in your end).
PAUSE/OPTIONS MENU
Press the Start button to open the Pause/Options menu anytime during a game. The player who pauses the game has control over the features.
Note
START acts as Accept in all sections of the Pause Menu and takes the user directly back to the Main section of the Pause Menu. This is a shortcut for advanced users that bypasses any sub-menus, taking you immediately to the Main Menu of the Pause overlay, and back to the action.
INSTANT REPLAY (Manual)
Watch a replay of the action that just took place.
STATISTICS
View current game stats.
EDIT LINES
Change the players on your lines if they are injured, tired or just underachieving.

This allows you to customize the settings for each of the coaching strategies used throughout the game.

You have 6 gameplay cameras to choose from, each with adjustable zoom.
