HEALTH AND EPILEPSY WARNING
Some small number of people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light
patterns that they encounter in everyday life, such as those in certain television images or video games. These seizures or loss of consciousness may occur even if the person has never had an epileptic seizure.
If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy when exposed to flashing lights, consult your doctor prior to using
Sega Dreamcast.
In all cases, parents should monitor the use of video games by their children. If any player experiences dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion, IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE RESUMING PLAY.
To reduce the possibility of such symptoms, the operator must follow these safety precautions at all times when using Dreamcast:
• Sit a minimum of 6.5 feet away from the television screen. This should be as far as the length of the controller cable.
• Do not play if you are tired or have not had much sleep.
• Make sure that the room in which you are playing has all the lights on and is well lit.
• Stop playing video games for at least ten to twenty minutes per hour. This will rest your eyes, neck, arms and fingers so that you can
continue comfortably playing the game in the future.

MENU CONTROLS
Here's a break down of the standard controls when you or one of your teammates has the
puck and you are on offense. Use the Deke, Speed Burst and Sidestep to elude the defenders and put the shot on net. One of your best chances to score is the One-Timer. Get the
pass to your teammate and shoot it as soon as you get the puck. The misdirection can get
the goalie out of position for an open look at the net.

NHL 2K2 is designed with analog functionality in mind.
The SEGA Dreamcast analog controls provide a fuller
range of motion and add to the overall depth of the
game. Go to Settings -> Controller to view and configure
the controller setup. There are Basic controls for the
new player but added flexibility is given to the more
experienced hockey player with Advanced Controls.
To highlight and select specific menu items, press the
Analog Stick (or D-pad) in the direction of the menu
item until it highlights, and press the A button. If you
have questions when viewing most menus and screens,
press the Y button for Command help.

OFFENSE
Coach’s Corner: Use your teammates
Hockey isn't played one on five - it's a team game so use the rest of your
players. Crisp passing will help you find the man with the best look at the
goalie, and the best chance of putting the biscuit in the basket.

Coach’s Corner: Shoot the puck
When you get the puck in the offensive end of the arena, shoot the puck. Wrist shots,
slap shots, wrap-arounds, and one-timers; the more shots you put on goal the better
your chances are of scoring.
Coach’s Corner: Two Line Pass
You've got a teammate flying down the right wing and you make the pass but
when he touches the puck, the referee whistles the play dead. You have to
be careful when you make long passes in the NHL. If the puck crosses a blue
line and the red center line without being touched by another player, it is considered a two line pass. (When you do this the play will stop and you will have
to face-off where the two line pass originated).
Coach’s Corner: Controlling the shot
Direct your shot by using the analog stick while shooting the puck. Look
where the goalie is setting up and use it to your advantage. If he has
flopped onto the ice, press up on the analog stick while shooting to
send the puck high. If he's still on his feet, you can try going five hole
(between his legs) by pressing down on the stick while shooting.

You have to play a strong defense to win at hockey. Check
the other team's skaters early and often. The other team
can't score if you keep them out of your zone.

You can let the A.I. control the goalie for you, or with Advanced controls you can step in

Coach’s Corner:
Dumping the puck
When your players are in need of a
line change and are having trouble
getting the puck out of their zone, or
if you are trying to keep the puck in
the opposing team’s zone, utilize the
Advance controls to take advantage
of the “dump” and “dump block” features. On offense, you can dump the
puck by pressing the Y button once
you gain control of the puck in your
zone. On defense, with a defender
near the boards, pressing the Y button will cause your defender to snug
up against the boards to block the
opposition’s dump attempt.
