    In Brett Hull hockey, if you max out the score 99-99 then you can soft lock the game. The score can't roll over and the game can't end in a tie, so the game can't end. I'm reaching back into childhood memories for this little factoid, so, confirmation required.

    NHL 94 was by far my favorite hockey game during the 16bit era. I had NHLPA 93 for the Sega Genesis and NHL 94 for SNES. From 95 and up, the game was just too fast. I remember we used to rent videogames at the video store every week or two. That was good old days. From NHL '97, I move to the PC version which was the first 3D polygon hockey game that I like. Nice video as always!

      And because of that cheat my friends and I agreed to never use the "dump" move. There's a similar cheat in NHL 9x series that we banned. Skate the puck in to the corner, circle around toward the net and skate through the crease. The goalie freezes for a moment and then heads to the far post as you cross the crease. Pull the puck back and jam it in on the short side.

    NHL Stanley Cup was my favorite. Though if you play it on the highest difficulty, with penalties, you'll either be on the power play all the time, OR get so aggravated with the characters checking you that it will play on a super fast 3 on 3 no holds barred mode where anything goes, since the box is full.

      When I play NHL 94 with penalties on I always wind up on the PK all game. Which I like as it makes it really easy to dump and chase from your own end and get a lot of short handed goals without icing. Or I just take control of the goalie and ram an opponent, it often results in an interference call on them.

    @gldmj55 2 года назад +1

    I agree about NHL '96. I think it's my favorite. It has just the right amount of gameplay quickness and smooth controls. '95 is a close second. '93 and '94 feel clunky and lethargic after playing later ones, along with less controls. In '97 and '98 they started going overboard with how fast they are. Not that I mind fast gameplay, but it's just way too easy to avoid opponents in these ones, even against a 2nd player. Plus in '97 you can score almost everytime by passing the puck at the opposing goalie, which can be stopped by switching to manual goalie, but not by the computer opponent. The people who always include '94 on lists of greatest sports games remind me of people who list Tecmo Bowl, as if Tecmo Super Bowl doesn't. Basically people who are barely familiar with these games/systems, don't have actual opinions of their own, and are stealing from other people's half-assed lists.

    After making videos on the Brett Hull Series, I can attest to it not being a good experience. Though, I think it was a nice canvas build from IF it got a few more games.

    nhl 96-98 games on the snes give me an uncanny feeling. when growing up i had a sega and the snes nhl games even though look about the same as the sega ones, they play completely different and most of the things that work on sega dont work on snes and vice versa.

    NHL 94 was awesome & I still play today on an emulator . After a goal scored I enjoy seeing how many opposition players I can knock over , I think I managed before the cut out :) beating the all stars team whilst playing as Florida is as demanding as the game can get I guess but pretty easy to master . Did someone say there is an online league ?? well up for that !!

    @danfors1333 6 лет назад +1

    I remember EA Sports NHL-96 had a PC-version with their first try with 3D graphics (rink was 3D, players still 2D). I liked it because it was my first game ever on PC but the game play was very slow and dull compared to the old school 2D version.

  • @billcook4768
    @billcook4768 5 лет назад +5

    You forget the key question: Does this game include Brass Bonanza? Seeing as you have a lot of Whalers video in the EA NHL part of the video, you obviously understand this. Do this day I'll argue for NHL 94 (or 95/96/97) as one of if not the best game of all time. Or they would be, if you actually could make Gretzky bleed.

  • @toptenguy1

      NHL 96 still featured the Nordiques, actually, even though they had already become the Colorado Avalanche before that season.
      I apologise for the brick of text, but my theory is that it's because after the team moved, they announced their new name as the "Rocky Mountain Extreme"... which was then scrapped immediately afterwards, because nobody really liked it that much. (It was too 90s for the 90s, basically. :P) So then they had to come up with _another_ new identity; logo, uniforms, etc. all in the same summer, and this was going on while EA was finishing up NHL 96. This would've also been in the days before teams gave game devs the inside scoop on new uniforms for 100% realism, so in all likelihood EA just didn't _know_ what the team was gonna be called; my guess is this, maybe combined with them having to use the full, unused schedule from the lockout-shortened 1994-95 season in the game's season mode (which still had them in the Eastern Conference), is what led to them just keeping them as the Quebec Nordiques for one final year.

      NHL 95 is my favourite too...the graphics are clearer then NHL 97...I think NHL 96/97 were the same game just updated rosters.Ah the days when we had to update our own rosters instead of the crap roster updates of today's NHL games.

Anyone know about these two versions? One is marked EASN and one EA

    I would love to see a robot futuristic hockey game. Where the robot looses limps instead of teeth. A hart hit spills bolts on the surface. This would be doable in this age. You can customize a robot team and so forth maybe add spray painted slogans you write on the robot such as your mamma was a snowblower. This would be fun and perhaps get a wider audience into hockey.
