I remember playing nhl 98 when I was like 5 years old back in '99 and legit feeling like I was actually in the game playing it, seemed so realistic , ea really got the small details down to point back then...for example on whistles they'd show stats, before game starts they'd do the anthem and show a warm-up..made it feel so realistic, nowadays it doesn't feel the same

I've played every game on this list, some I owned, some I would play at my friends and to me the most important games have to be NHL 98, 2002 and 2008. The jump in quality of gameplay, features and graphics from those installments compared to the previous ones are enormous. They're also the ones I played the most for good reason. A lifetime of good memories. I will always remember booting up NHL 2002 and loving the song from Gob - I hear you calling. It's my EA sports NHL anthem forever. Thanks for the upload! What's your ultimate EA NHL anthem?

NHL 2001 Demo on PC is the first game of the series I've ever played when I was 8 years old, back in late 2000. Then found NHL 2002 and absolutely fell in love with it. I really mean "absolutely". Played it for 4 years until NHL 06 got released, and played it a lot as well. I started to get really good and then played NHL 08 and 09 in the online lobby, racking amazing stats against really good players (still remember most of the usernames of most players, like "statsman"). All on PC. Those were such fond memories and great times in my childhood... I had switch on console by the time NHL12 got released, and fell in love with NHL13. Stopped playing since then... I plan on buying a PS4 and the upcoming NHL17 on release day. Watching the graphical evolution is bittersweet for the eyes, but is it worth it to invest all that money as far as the gameplay is concerned? I thought NHL13 had the best gameplay of all the games; how much has it changed - positively and negatively - since? Thanks for the video. It definitely brought me back great feelings.

@sebas1991137 жыл бұрын
Oh my god, it looks like exactly my childhood with little differences (I played from NHL04 on Gamecube to NHL14 on Xbox360). Great memories playing this series, I still remember songs that were in the games 10 years ago (07 and 09 were the best soundtracks to me). I started to be really good when NHL11 came out, playing against top100 players online and winning a lot of games. I reached my top on NHL14 and I will always remember that game I played with my best friend (he was as good as me at the time) against a guy named "Sauce'N'Flow" who was ranked like 5th in the world, and we found a way to beat him, it's just an unforgettable memory! And then NHL15 came out on current gen..... To me, it was the worst hockey game ever made. I sold my copy in November, I was so furious of how EA made a game so bad, I mean, the celebrations are good, graphics are improved, people the crowd are very realistic, but the GAMEPLAY was so bad.... I give EA a last chance with NHL16 and even with the adding of more game modes, the game was still very bad. I don't recommend you to buy NHL17 on September, especially if you don't have a PS4 and you think of buying one just to play the game. It's pathetic how they missed their shot with the current gen. I'm 25 now, my childhood is over, and it's time for me to move on.

One really minor addition that I think could be cool would be suspensions in gm, season, be a pro etc. Say you check someone from behind and injure them or the AI does something similar you receive maybe a 5 game suspension or an AI player does. It would also be able to be turned off if not wanted. What do you guys think? I think it could add realism.

The more realistic the better. NHL 16 was missing a lot of things that NHL 17 is looking to offer. The thing that pissed me off the most in NHL 16 is when you're playing Be a Pro mode and get drafted to a team, you can't request to be traded. I hope they have that in NHL 17.
