| | The Sports Gaming Network - Hockey : NHL Breakaway 99 (N64) Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | After all, the only competition for N64 hockey was Williams/Midway's Wayne Gretzky series: players grew angry when they discovered that the second edition of the game and a special Olympic version were little more than warmed-over versions of their predecessor. |
 | | While Breakaway 99, like its predecessor, offers users the opportunity to create players and manage rosters (trades, signings, releases), it has also retained (but not improved on) the options to draft and develop prospects and hire a coaching staff based upon the expenditure of bonus points earned during the course of a season. |
 | | To date it has not been a good year for hockey on the N64, for EA's NHL 99 is a warmed-over version of the previous year's Playstation version (and also incorporates the flaws of that edition in its N64 release). |
