Oilerfan5 i couldnt agree more. Years later and im still listening to some of these tracks. The team that put this soundtrack together were musical geniuses
This brings back soo many memories. I played this game everyday for probably a year straight. I'm a huge hockey fan so this game was amazing to me. Even today it's still looks great!!
Thank you u reminding me about 2k5 i completely forgot about tht game .i played 2k6 a while ago and i didnt like the feel of gameplay. Nhl 06 i didnt like it either but the soundtrack was great
Back when the games would actually change a bit every year, and had knee there would be improvements and better animations each year...now we get the same shit over and over with no improvements or changes in animations
Omg I can't believe you wrote that!!🤣 I'm a bigtime Bruins fan and always used them. Samsonov was lightening fast...with Thornton and Rolston, that was my 1st line.
Really love that they released this primarily on PC. I'm a PC gamer and only learned about this recently. I really wish EA SPORTS would release or at least make other EA NHL games available on PC, even if it's not the primary platform.
Blackbox developed the most sim hockey game ever at the time. It was a little slow but added to the realism. Dynasty mode was a grind, but your team eventually became faster and better. I always lost in the playoffs, though. I swear there was an additional layer of difficulty added in. I also owned NHL -06 and '08 for PS2 and they looked better, and still had that awesome presentation, but went back to the 'take your fastest guy and go up the ice without passing' gameplay.
Best EA hockey game of the era. 2005 was good but worthless for me with no player editor(I'm one of those that has to put myself in every sports game lol). The gameplay got to arcade like in 06. 04 was just about perfect.
Used to play this game in the barracks after we got back from Iraq in March 04. I fucking dominated. Destroyed everyone in the company who dared to challenge me. 😂
My childhood.
Ikr!! Mine too.😃
Same here
what a classic soundtrack, never had heard of any of the bands(cept maybe Gob) before hand. loved almost every song.

Gob is amazing
SAME BRO
The only band I’ve heard of before seeing this game was Deftones
Found my favorite band of all time in this game (who I had not heard of previously).

Remember playing this as a small kid. Ps2 is very nostalgic.
This is the best hockey game of all time. You're wrong if you think otherwise.
I’m still waiting for NHL 2004 2
Samsonov was a beast in this game. Unlimited breakaway goals
Omg I can't believe you wrote that!!🤣 I'm a bigtime Bruins fan and always used them. Samsonov was lightening fast...with Thornton and Rolston, that was my 1st line.
spent a whole summer playing this non stop
This was the last NHL game that wasn't stupid
No
dumbass
facts
@@sturrrdy Idiot. Its an opinion. a stupid opinion at best.
06 and 09 PC was kinda good to
jay hughson and Craig simpson probaly my favourite commentators
Its Jim Hughson
That game made me fall in love with punk rock.
101
This was one of my favorite hockey games would play this for hrs.
I miss this game. my friend and I used to play 2-player co-op.. trying to beat the CPU on the hardest difficulty (Superstar Mode I think).
and now your friend is dead.
@@RickRaisin16 I killed him with my good looks
It started of with the best song. I’m so happy they put Deftones on an nhl soundtrack

Is this for PC? I have this game and it doesn't look this sharp on ps2
lorie Tingley yes, it is on pc and he is probably emulating the ps2 version

2005 was sooo bad haha. Breakaway, you get checked from behind. I found 2005 to be so Arcady (not as bad as nhl 2002 though)
I always enjoyed this one more than the others
i enjoyed nhl 14 the most but this is looking good
The sound of the post is making me laugh too much LOL.
PS2 NHL 2004 Sunday March 29 2015
Not sure how I ended up here but just the intros gave me flash backs lol
How did you record it?
I remember when playing this I found Dan Cloutier on Vancouver impossible to score on.
My first ever NHL and team sports game
FEDOROV!
I love this game on ps2
Is this being played on a emulator ?
bought NHL 2018.... i miss the 2004. the new one sucks
Loved this game
Everyone says best ever but kinda not when the only way to score is on a one timer...

NHL 2004. sen voi olla myös hyvä 13 vuotta peli oli kaikki kaikki muuttuu ja hyvää mieltä kaikki muuttuu paremmaksi kuin se
