I first started getting into hockey around 2014 (Go Blues) and since I didnt have a pplaystation or xbox I bought this game for probably pretty cheap and played it to death for a few years until I got a ps4 and NHL 17. Its still my go to when i wanna just pick up and play some hockey.

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!
@johnnyroberts37614 ай бұрын
No particular order, but I think NHL 94, NHL 2004, NHL 2K8, & NHL 14 are the best hockey games of all time

The old games had a certain flare of realism while also accepting the fact that it was a video game. Which carried a certain charm and entertainment value to it. Just got this game to re-live. Gr8 game.

I remember getting this game for PC, I was 17 back in 04. For me though the GOAT NHL game was 10 years prior. NHL 94, on the SEGA Genesis. Nothing comes close to that game.

Clunky passing, horrible drop pass, clunky movement, too many dumb extra buttons. I'd take 2002 over this. 2002 had a god tier PC mod community back then also.

I played almost all nhl games on the ps4 so far and some of the ps3 games too. I played nhl 12 to nhl 24 and also played nhl 08 but nhl 09, 10, and 11 i never played. My favorite nhl team and huge fan of is the Oilers but when i played nhl 08 i thought i start a GM mode with the Atlanta Thrashers because they is no longer around and it would be cool to play with the only other team that i was alive to see play as a late 2000 born guy. I actually agree think NHL 08 was more fun then NHL 24 but sadly my ps3 broke... so i only played nhl 08 for a few months. NHL 24 sucks! Great video man!

One of the few sports games that actually maintains any money value. After Heatley's car accident, they made Sakic the cover athelete, but the game had already shipped so there are significantly fewer sakic 2004 covers, especially gamecube.

Of course it's the best game ever. I totally love this, I wish I still had it. The dynasty mode is AWESOME. I used my dad and brothers as players in it. Then I made my grandpa as the general manager. The fighting could have been better, the goalie fight's is the best. Another favorite thing about the game, is the injuries. Sometimes they stop the play after the hit is done. The other ones the game continues, while the injured player is on the ice. I won the cup around 7 times, before it was damaged. After the second cup, my created player picked up the cup. I never played any other games, just this one.

2004 is my favorite EA NHL game for sure. However, I prefer the more simulation feel of the 2K series and my go-to hockey game is ESPN NHL 2K5.

If someone really thinks this is the best hockey game of all time, it's because you were 14 and it was good times. This game has nothing to do with icehockey. Try to play actually nice goals? Good luck, if half your row is being fouled at the time. Trying to get a nice shorthanded goal with a good brakeaway? Good luck, one you get the puck there's at least two players trying to hook you. Want good build up play? Bad luck your team mates don't know the offside rule so it takes ages untill you can carry the puck in the opposing teams zone. Seriously, apart from nostalgia it really is an awfull represantation of icehockey. Yeah i liked it to as a kid, but man it is a bad hockey game, that had a lot potential.

Holy fuck im gonna cry. This was the nhl i spent all day playing. I would copy how the goalies would walk and how Mats sundin would move lol. I thought it was NHL07 but as soon as i saw the menus, and the stadium customization i knew this was the one. I then went down the rabbit hole searched the soundtrack and the nostalgia is unreal

Best NHL game in my opinion. Great to drink some vodka and play a season in the Elite Leagues. I played as Iserlohn and we won the cup, barely. Played on Medium difficulty. My skater was a 77 overall nicknamed "The Hammer" and I just love the challenge of playing it like that. Locked my controller to LW, auto line changes but I manually skate back (which I find makes it extremely fun). The Hammer ended the season as a +3 and I was extremely satisfied. Some funny announcer moments too like "Iserlohn, has his pocket picked!" :D Yes Hahaha. Best NHL game PERIOD. I recommend playing.

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. On a serious note, this video was a great reminder of why it's my favourite NHL game of all time. As a 14 year old I didn't really appreciate some of the features of Dynasty Mode, so it was interesting to revisit that. The graphics still look pretty good but the gameplay was so ahead of its time and far less clunky than a lot of modern sports games I've played. I remember how much I hated playing against the Avalanche on this game when they had Rob Blake, Adam Foote and Peter Forsberg on the rink at the same time and would run over all your team. Thanks for the nostalgia Kron!
