In Exhibition mode, a single player can play against the computer (choosing both teams) or another human player (controlling separate teams), or the player can opt to watch a demo where two computer-controlled teams play each other. In Tournament mode, sixteen teams compete for a championship title in Best of 3 series. It can be played with one or two players, and there is a password system for continuing.
Each team is rated on a number of categories: shooting, speed, power, defense, passing, and goalie. The player can choose the default skills for each team or balanced skills (where all the teams are comparable in strength) or progressive skills (where teams become progressively stronger in a tournament).
