  Faceoff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faceoffs are typically conducted at designated places marked on the ice called faceoff spots or dots.
An official may eject a centre from the faceoff if he or any of the players on his team violates the rules in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage during the faceoff.
Common faceoff violations include moving the stick before the puck is dropped and not placing the body square to the faceoff spot.

 The Sports Gaming Network - Hockey : NHL FaceOff 2000 (PSX) Review
FaceOff 2000 builds upon a fairly solid past record when it comes to the sounds of the game.
Past editions of FaceOff had larger rosters (although no limit on the number of roster players who could play in a game); this year's edition confused game rosters (eighteen skaters and two goalies) with team rosters (which are usually between 25 and 27 players in all).
The good news is that NHL FaceOff 2000 is a distinct improvement over its immediate predecessors of the last two years.

If one is having a tough time adapting to FaceOff, they may enter the Practice feature, which again is easy to understand what type of mode it is. If you want to play one simple season, then ‘Season’ is where you want to be.
FaceOff 2003’s physics engine is, thankfully, not all that bad, but still has its fare share of mistakes.
While the helmets feature a vibrant color of their team, the jerseys themselves appear as if they were taken to a Laundromat for a year and brutally washed relentlessly till the year ended.

 The Sports Gaming Network - Review : NHL Faceoff 99 (PSX)
Faceoff's menus are among the most visually boring you're likely ever to lay eyes on.
Faceoff 99 is fairly limited in terms of depth and options when compared to its rival, NHL 99.
One of the things that becomes evident very early on in Faceoff 99 is that the goalies refuse to stay in their net.

 NHL Faceoff 2000
FaceOff 2000 is, of course, officially licensed and has all the real NHL teams and players.
The controls are otherwise fairly responsive and intuitive, and the choice to pass the puck with either the icon or regular method is quite nice.
As in FaceOff 99, the banter from Emrick and Pang is incredibly fast paced and even funny at times, but the real credit goes to 989's sound engineers for doing a great job of keeping the play-by-play calls right on cue with the action on the ice.

FaceOff Georgia, an exciting new publication devoted to the growth of amateur hockey and lacrosse in Georgia, made its debut this weekend in metropolitan Atlanta.
FaceOff Georgia will publish monthly during 2003, but in January of 2004, Davis plans to publish twice monthly for the remainder of the fall/winter seasons.
Although FaceOff Georgia is initially focusing on the Atlanta area, it's already begun plans to extend coverage and distribution to Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savannah, and other Georgia communities where "stick sports" are growing.

 NHL FaceOff 2003 Review for PlayStation 2 - Gaming Age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
This is probably due to their lack of success in the last few years in the “mainstream” sports genres, Basketball, Baseball, and Football, however, 989 has quietly put together a solid and entertaining hockey franchise on the PS2 and the PSX.
Unfortunately Faceoff’s franchise mode is far from deep; it does however come complete with a create-a-player feature that is really quite good.
Faceoff’s presentation is put together superbly, really it is topnotch for a sports title, announcers keep up with the action.

 Shadowfist: Duel to the Death (Faceoff Introduction)
Since the Faceoff cards are events, you can play them outside your own turn, creating a combat at an unexpected moment, and you can play them after a failed attack as well.
And finally, Faceoffs are useful simply because they give the Hand and the Ascended something they've mostly been lacking: a way to kill off opposing characters outside of an attack.
While it's easy to take out a weaker character using Faceoff events, the key to getting the most mileage out of them is to use them with cards that allow your characters to come through the combat relatively unscathed, or better yet, to take on and defeat larger characters and still survive.

 FaceOff UT2003 Alpha1.0
Faceoff is basically TacOps for UT2k3; Semi-realistic modern combat, real world weapons, and classic Terrorist-vs-SpecOps gameplay.
As I mentioned before, Faceoff sports real-world weapons with a few variances and changed names (but this is due to copyright mumbo-jumbo, so its not a problem at all).
Overall, Faceoff already holds all of the qualities that a fantastic mod should hold.

 PS2 Review for NHL Faceoff 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
After the dismal performance thus far from 989 Sports we were hoping NHL FaceOff 2001 would break the mould and return gamers to the label that redefined sports on the original Playstation.
In FaceOff you can not only do it but you can move around and set up a nice tip play or generate a rebound for one of your pressing forwards at the net.
In the end, NHL FaceOff 2001 is just a mediocre title that will satisfy only those who may have been unimpressed with EA's offering this year.

 Jenkins, Cannons set for faceoff - The Boston Globe
A Dedham native, Jenkins started specializing in faceoffs when he was younger and the hard work paid off.
Unlike the player who takes the faceoff in hockey or the tipoff in basketball, the faceoff player in lacrosse battles until his team gains possession of the ball, then gets off the field.
Jenkins's desire to return to action and the team's desire for him to return came together last spring, when Inge, the Cannons' faceoff player for the past two years, was delayed coming from his home in Australia because of visa problems.

 newsobserver.com | Faceoff still haunts Devils' Madden
It was Madden's center-ice faceoff with the Carolina Hurricanes' Rod Brind'Amour with 20.7 seconds left in regulation in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
But he's still not sure how winning a faceoff is the worst outcome, how a puck becomes a frisbee and a lead with three seconds to go becomes a loss.
When told that Madden was having trouble getting the faceoff out of his mind, Brind'Amour grinned like a man who might have won it after all.

Being good in the faceoff circle is an acquired skill and going head-to-head against four younger brothers was great practice for J.J. Hunter.
Faceoff percentage might not be an important statistic for the casual fan to follow religiously, but coaches surely take notice of who is doing well in the circle on a particular evening.
"Being a faceoff man, you don't want to lose more than one in a row so if all of a sudden you lose two or three in a row, you're thinking 'I've got to win this next one.' You have to be on your toes and ready.

 Faceoff Strategy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Keep your knees bent and our weight on the balls of your feet so you'll be able to move forward or sideways as soon as the puck is dropped.
If you just watch the faceoff dot then you're going to be slower to react because you won't be able to see the puck until it hits the ice.
Finally, the center should know what he is going to do with the puck before any faceoff and he should relay that to his teammates.
