Nintendo 64 Longplay: NHL Breakaway 98

Played on a PAL copy of the game.
NHL Breakaway 98 is a 1997 ice hockey video game for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64. It was the first hockey game to come from Acclaim Entertainment. The Nintendo 64 version has Rumble Pak support. It was followed by a sequel, NHL Breakaway 99, released the following year.
NHL Breakaway 98 has a momentum-based checking system. Players can out-skate and out-muscle each other, depending on a player's size and speed. Some players are small but fast, while others are slow but possess strength and size. If a large, fast player such as Eric Lindros gets moving at high speed, the power behind his check is greater than what someone like Pierre Turgeon could produce.
Two players can compete in the Versus mode. If a player is edited, the name and number appear on the player's back. The game does not feature play-by-play announcers, but there is a public address announcer that only speaks when penalties are called, and when a player scores a goal, the name and number are said.

I remember playing this game on my cousin n64 good memories

[@JazzyUte]

I remember this game. There was a secret team with a cheat code named the Salt Lake Frosties or something (I think? Maybe not) who I played with because I always wanted Salt Lake to have a NHL team.
And now we do. :)

I had this game

[@MovieLover1995]

This game had some very lackluster controls. If you press the A button during a matchup, it immediate goes back to the start up menu, which is really annoying.

Offsides off 😂

[@ToddCrispies]

A lot of hockey video games in the 90s are better without offsides. The computer AI is stupid and constantly has players skate offside. Most competitive 90s hockey games that still played in online leagues such NHL '94, don't play with offsides for that reason.
