FaceOff Hockey 2004 simulates the game of hockey with player ratings, realistic moves, and various leagues. Players are rated in the categories of defense, taking faceoffs, blocking shots, intimidation, forechecking, shadowing other scorers, screening the goaltender, and several other categories. The game allows you to set defenses, create computer-controlled coaching styles, and manage leagues with ease. You can even compete online in a FaceOff Hockey league or create your own league and invite your friends.
