The games look alot more realistic when you play them in your own game station like nhl 17 looks way better on my ps4 than what it showed on this video
I spent the whole first minute thinking why snes? I had both systems and EA sports games were better on genesis. We played 94 for years after it was so good.
As a dev on this game since NHL 07, this is a really cool walk down memory lane... I guess (obviously) the majority do play the game for the on ice-experience, but a video like this about how (for example) career modes have changed over a similar time frame would be interesting to see too... A lot has changed there too, but its not as visual so I guess it's maybe not as compelling to see/watch. Nice effort to put all this together though... I also watched your total game evolution and I played a bunch of those back in the 80s myself...
People say how nothing has changed from NHL 15; not sure how they don't notice the stick-control overhaul in 18, the skating overhaul in 19, and the shooting overhaul in 20. Sure, the actual game may look the same, but the gameplay is so much better than it was in 15.
1991 graphics were amazing at the time considering most gamers in the early 90s had grown up playing Atari, ColecoVision and Intellivision systems that couldn't even make a round Pac Man.
i think they made tweaks to the physics engine in the earlier part of the decade , the game did start to feel gradually less "arcadey" and more of an actual sim, I remember them removing a lot of exploits and back hand wrap around shots that were pretty much automatic goals in 2010 and 2009
Great job displaying a goal scored by the Stanley Cup winner of each previous year.. except Rangers fans won't forgive you for putting the Islanders in the 95 edition in their place ;)
By my heart the best for me are 94, 99, 12 and 14. I like also 20, but there are lots of problems need to be fixed. Of course older ones had some too, but in nowadays there are technologies and experiences to do it better.
Omg, after watching this I can actually see some of the same animations and player tendencies in some of the way older versions that look like nhl 20.. my god EA...
The most unrealistic NHL hockey video game has got to be Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey. Players rise from the ice at the start of a game and it’s also impossible to get penalties- referees only exist to drop the puck. And there’s an entire mode dedicated to fighting, which results in one of the harshest penalties in hockey!
The color commentary that we started getting around 2000 and after. 😂. We played one night and the commentator said, “He’s got more hits than Alanis Morissette!!! 😂😂😂
As someone who has hours and hours on NHL 7 on the PSP, after I heard the commentary for some of the other games in that time period, I realized a lot of it was recycled, word for word. Classic EA
EA should do a comprehensive game of all the Sega sports game ( Madden ,NBA, NBA LIVE, FIFA ,MLB baseball ( unless licensing won't allow), just put it out on PS4 , Xbox 1, u don't need 2 remaster it ,GAMERS would love it.

Thank you for this. Its memory lane of after school games
Back in the days where everyone looked alike
1:43 what a goal
I noticed that
1:45 want to go
didnt even touch the puck 😂
You can’t stop Tomas Holmstrom…you can only hope to contain him…
New sub! Love the history of sports games. I have played it,at least 90% of it. Football, hockey, baseball.
10:14 Best referee skating :D
He do a moonwalk lol
Michael Jackson hahahahah
lol thanks for pointing that out :'D :'D
Notice how all of the matches in this video were the Stanley cup final contestants in that year
Barry Jackson The guy played the demos.
not '94
Yup
Yup and he always had the winning team score
@@tylerparker1185 except the Rangers, not the Islanders

Was thinking same. Was like "i don't remember it looking that bad"
Agree I have nhl17 best hockey game for me
Ikr
That's right. I think there was some compress while uploading it to youtube.
After NHL15 things kept getting repetitive after that
GG YT it’s EA what do you expect they do nothing to change anything and only care about ultimate team. The good thing is there is create a team
@@JohnBartholomewIII with crappy generic logos no import logos from usb
Radio Theft Auto yeah that’s the thing that sucks about it
There still fun to play, But I agree
ToeDragSwag there is a bird with a lightning bolt as a logo you could maybe use that
I've missed this game since they stopped making a PC version.
I Love U Evolutions Keep Up The good work
Love these type of videos‼️👍👍
THANK YOU FOR THIS !!!
NHL 2001 is easily my favorite. Just seeing the hammer icon brings back a flood of big hit memories
?
wow man, made my life...
nice one, subscribed...keep'em comin...
98 99 19 20 My Top Best NHL Games
For me it's 20, 14, 2004, not necessarily in that order.
When you realize that every game after 16 is just a roster update
Vade Gamer in some cases roasters are not even accurate. The Avs for example are missing some top players.
NHL 94 on Genesis is the GOAT
NHL 94 on both systems hands down the greatest hockey game of all time :D
I spent the whole first minute thinking why snes? I had both systems and EA sports games were better on genesis. We played 94 for years after it was so good.
Roenick was unstoppable
Sega cd version
ESPN NHL 2K5 will always be the greatest hockey game ever produced.
Every 2k5 game was good, ea had to stop 2k's momentum
can you do the nascar games threw the years

I love how about all of the goals are slapshots
Vgk vs was isn't
Good job Video Game Evo.. EA is a slow moving operation.
What wrong with nhl 20s voice
5:30 that’s the devils goal horn
ToeDragSwag no it’s not just google the real one
Miss the Commentary and the soundtracks. Also the blood on the ice and smashing windows. With hits and pucks.

I went to go play nhl 14 after seeing this video
Cool to see old stuff
Did anyone else notice that all the games were the Stanley cup finals from the year before
So from 2010 to 2020 nothing really happened lol

94' is the GOAT. Roenick and Belfour nuff said.
Great job displaying a goal scored by the Stanley Cup winner of each previous year.. except Rangers fans won't forgive you for putting the Islanders in the 95 edition in their place ;)
crazy to see how it came to its prowess

NHL 97 was game changer
3 on 3 was actually really fun! hours spent on that game with my buddy.
Cool video lots of memories
Omg, after watching this I can actually see some of the same animations and player tendencies in some of the way older versions that look like nhl 20.. my god EA...

Why are you still using the PC version of NHL 08 to showcase NHL 08?
1999 is when it starts looking realistic
'97
98
97
Yes
@@firebird200 looks pretty good on 97 but 98 because it got commentary
My dad and I play NHL 13, where we can create our own teams. Too bad you can't do that in the later ones.
I am in love with NHL 13
0:35😒 NYR RANGERS BY THE WAY 93-94 Seasons vs Canucks Stanley cup final 🏆 not the NYI ISLANDERS
I noticed that too
Facts
Lol I’m an isles fan so might as well lmao
Impressive great job.
Nice video
:38 should be Vancouver and NYR not NYI :D Still good vid
The color commentary that we started getting around 2000 and after. 😂. We played one night and the commentator said, “He’s got more hits than Alanis Morissette!!! 😂😂😂
NHL Hockey 92 pc ????
Why does 08 look like a step back from 07?
You forgot nhl legacy edition
Otherwise great video
Do the fighting engine for all the games.
I like the Nhl 20 score board more than the other games idk why
First NHL game i played was NHL 09 on PS2.
Great vid
As someone who has hours and hours on NHL 7 on the PSP, after I heard the commentary for some of the other games in that time period, I realized a lot of it was recycled, word for word. Classic EA
Oh god, NHL Hockey 91. I played that game every day.
I have so many memories with these games! 🏒❤️
Can't believe you didn't include "Wayne Gretzky's 3D hockey" for N64 that came out in 96, it was the first 3D hockey game.
The video is for the EA NHL series of hockey games, so that game wouldn't be included by default :D
so pity that NHL isn't progressing as much as FIFA
Do you mean ea
I’d love to know how many hours I logged playing these. Gotta be way more than homework hours.
Nhl 99, 15, 20 are the best for me
30 years of games, tangible difference in about 6 of them.
How do you manage to obtain the shittiest audio for the newest game???
Good memories with 94, 01 & 02. Also faceoff 99
TB from this time when nhl got The best music
Ever since the skill stick they've changed the menus and the cover and called it a new game
Biggest changes:
‘96 to ‘97
‘06 to ‘07
‘15 to ‘16
I'd say 15 to 16 when it came to game modes, but the biggest jump in gameplay was 18 to 19. The new skating made 18 feel obsolete.
Josh Siegel Yeah I agree with you but in my comment I ment about how the game looked like and I should have made that clearer :/
Ah ok, I see what you mean.
2000 to 2001
Ive never heard anyone go "Aye bro you got that new EA NHL?"
because you probably arent in the cool club
@@THEONLYGORE It's just facts. Plus the newest NHL graphics can be compared to Madden 15s.
i prefer NHL over NFL its fun as hell
NHL 94 on genesis is one of the best sports games ever and I don’t even like hockey
prob cuz you dont live some where up north
What abt legacy edition on 360
MDS 30 its 16
ToonUp it felt like a totally different game
Jim Hughson is the best commentator, i hope that he returns in the game in the future.
I played NHL arcade version it was really good back in the day
There’s a little familarity about the Stanley Cup Winners (who scores) and maybe losers.
i got nhl 20
Is it me or the teams that are play is the teams that play in the Stanley cup finals
I get that some goal horns are for copy right or consent rights but why can’t they easily go back the the old horns in these games
More like Evolution of NHL Slapshots
NHL 94 and 2012 ftw!!
Is it just me...or was there a 1990 hockey....international teams only
Barely any evolution in the last 10 years
'15 is where the series started to get a bit stale in my opinion. '20 is much better than the prior four, for sure
Who realizes nhl 11 Chicago Goal horn is New Jersey?
Gary Thorne has a nice call
Why is there only one Genesis version shown? Should show both NES and Sega if anything, the Sega versions were the superior versions.
9:19 😥
ALL CAPS
@Nathan Rodrigues but I think the Caps deserved a win for once. As someone who grew up in DC, I really felt it was necessary
Jep😂
94-98 either Genesis or Snes. Then for the newer ones nhl 19 or 20.
9:58 FnAF confirmed.
???
Nothing has changed at all since NHL15
NHL 17 is the best hockey game for me
94 and 2K7 my favourites
NHL 95 was the most fun one to play
Ah, I see.
In 1997, the NHL used car tires instead of a puck.
At least on the PS1.
Well ok, it's kind of hard rubber. 😅
I love this video
I had some good times on 2010
It's like siren head is in my house
Where is NHL legacy
Awsome Jeffy I was thinking the same thing
Its 16
skipped Blades of steel
EA should do a comprehensive game of all the Sega sports game ( Madden ,NBA, NBA LIVE, FIFA ,MLB baseball ( unless licensing won't allow), just put it out on PS4 , Xbox 1, u don't need 2 remaster it ,GAMERS would love it.
I remember the game breaker in 03
