So I plan to make more NHL game reviews, but I want you guys to let me know what game to play. Check out all the games I have in my update video.

This is the best NHL game ever. Everything you mentioned is spot on. The commentary is also great because it feels realistic and we can't forget they had the real-life coaches.

The goalie fights in this game were nuts.

I literally wore out my PS2 with this game. I think there was a stretch where I didn’t play any other games for months. Who remembers goalie fights? Loved making my own teams.

Older sports video games were way more fun. They weren't taken so seriously.

The best music. This was the first NHL I ever had. Fucking blast.

NHL 2004 is my go to hockey video game. I still play it to this very day!

You can still play on a PC by searching "NHL 2004 rebuilt". There are guys that have updated the helmets, jerseys, rosters, arenas and even arena music and goal horn sounds. They've kept it up to date for years now. It's really an impressive undertaking.

How Calgary didn't equalise in the last ten seconds is beyond me, I've never been so stressed watching a game that features neither of my teams.

I adored this game. I used to play as the "Baltimore Bandits" with the face covered by the bandana look; we wore white and gold Home jerseys and black and purple away (I think?!). I created an entire roster of made up names like Michael Cash as my dynamic fast centre etc......it was wicked good fun!

This one and NHL 2K5 are my personal favourites, but I have way more memories with NHL 2004

Was debating buying this to make content, thanks for the review! 🙂

Hockey: Nhl 04

It's the best hockey SIMULATOR of all times, it's not just a video game about hockey. It was a breaktroug. It was the first (and only) game in the series, where we could play hockey, but not an arcade video game based on hockey. It was actually my last game in the series, I just couldn't play in 2005 and the following games because they all were garbage compared to NHL 2004... It's sad to realize that NHL series is not for hockey fans, but for arcade games lovers who like to score tons of goals and make a big hit everytime they push a button.

I remembered a lot about this song from NHL 2004. It was also in MX UNLEASHED! NHL 2004, even in 2024, still is a MASTERPIECE alongside NHL 14, 1994 to 1998 and 10!

My favorite NHL game ever! My Devils are the Champs on here, the gameplay was great, soundtrack was lit 🔥 (maybe best ever they did) and for the love of God DYNASTY MODE was so damn enjoyable. I love how realistic the dynasty mode was with bad teams not having much fans in attendance due to poor play and not having prestige players rated 90 or higher, etc... EA seriously need to look at NHL 04 and Bring back what made it so damn great!

I think 03 and 07 were my favourite EA NHL games growing up.

I remember playing this game every day for hours absolute best Nhl game to this day!

I just bought this for the first time on PS2,never really played NHL only 11 or 12 I think but its sad that we have to go back and play the old games,I'm currently playing the old Madden's and NBA smh🙄great vid nonetheless,I can't wait to play this one😎🍻🍺

It still makes me mad that most of these features weren't brought over to NHL 2005. NHL 2005 is the most wasted potential NHL game ever!
