    This video I take you guys along a throwback to one of my most beloved NHL games that has been released to date. Only 1 NHL game since (NHL 10) has brought such enjoyment to me as NHL 2004 did. In my opinion, NHL 2004 brings out a much more enjoyable playing experience than anything recent EA has released today on new generation consoles, showcasing just how poor that have been, although NHL 2004 is truly a wonderful game.
    I also forgot to mention the soundtrack in this game kicks ass.

      2005 is pretty good too basically same as 2004 but they improved the way you can deke the puck, not just left to right. But my heart and childhood memories will always belong to 2004. I look at the newest NHL games and honestly they are so disappointing, even looks wise from the gameplay I think I would pick 2004 LOL

    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!

    It's the best hockey SIMULATOR of all times, it's not just a video game about hockey. It was a breaktroug. It was the first (and only) game in the series, where we could play hockey, but not an arcade video game based on hockey. It was actually my last game in the series, I just couldn't play in 2005 and the following games because they all were garbage compared to NHL 2004... It's sad to realize that NHL series is not for hockey fans, but for arcade games lovers who like to score tons of goals and make a big hit everytime they push a button.

    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.

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!

    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.

    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.

    I agree ! NHL 20 seems so bland honestly... its like they are trying to impress non hockey fans with shitty soundtracks and pay to play themes.

    I loved this game, especially Dynasty and International, but there is no way to make it work on Win10 without rebuild 🥺

    Still remember when ea said in 2012 "we added goalie fights and never been done before". They take shit out and put it in 8 years later as "new". EA is now a joke. Will never buy the new games. Great review. Miss the old games of NHL when they actually cared.

    Used to love this game but I would say that the AI is really bad compared to more modern ones. The computer doesn't seem to have any intelligence in it.
    The game also has plenty of annoying things such as the random penalties for small pushes and the constant hooking and holding. The shooting is also quite random.
    But when I was young, this along with 99 were the two most important games of my childhood.

    Cool vide Bro (:thumbsUp4sure)
    But advice/imo from a stranger,
    Don't say hi, this is "Kron"..
    Say~ sup, this is Brian from Kron Channel or just "hey, it's brian blahblah..
    *Because Kron is based on Robert Kron that uber fast dude from Hurricanes I think..
    I/we loved that dude because he was lighning fast....
    I do feel like a arrogant prick saying this so I wanted to admit as such because you sound cool...
    *I too like the PS2 era games and recently rebought a PS2 and 25'ish games.
    OG Xbox is next..
