MaxieMan98 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Just a place for people to pay their respects to imo the best NHL game of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Um, no. NHL 05 for PC, NHL 03 for GameCube, or NHL 12 for 360 or any of the NHL 9x games. Take your pick of those ones. Sorry. That's just IMHO. I should let people pay their respects for 04 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I had it for the Xbox, and I agree it's by far the best NHL game. It's still my go-to NHL game. None of this NHL15 nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I prefer sports games on console, but with all the upgrades that have been made (including current rosters), the PC version is definitely intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Panda Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Nah man its all about NHL 06, 10, and 12. NHL 06 because of the C stick and just the all around silliness NHL 10 because imo it was the last nhl game that had that "arcadey" feel before NHL 11 added "realistic hitting" and NHL 13 added "realistic skating" and so on... NHL 12 because i think it was the best all around game released in recent years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 NHL 12 because i think it was the best all around game released in recent years.. Totally agree with that. 13 and 14 went downhill from that. 15 had good graphics and gameplay but the features were a wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL 12 because i think it was the best all around game released in recent years.. I enjoyed NHL12 for a while, but I could never beat the Alpha cup on HUT. No matter how stacked my team was, the opponent's goalie who was about a 50 just wouldn't allow a single goal, meanwhile my 85+ rated goalie would let in weak shots from the blue line. Only in the finals though, the rest of it was fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharnhayre Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 NHL 94 was too sick! That was the second NHL game i owned besides Blades of Steel! Loved picking Roenick and ripping shots into the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 2004 was the best I think as well. It's difficult to look at any of the ones within the last 5 years and say they were the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Really got into 04, 05, and 07. They really need to bring Free 4 All back. That mode was so much fun to play with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DollarAndADream Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If one could, I would say 2012 has the edge on all of them Playing EASHL for every one, it's hard for me to really remember which one was which. They all seem to have the same cheese goals and whatnot so they just kind of blend together for me. Really got into 04, 05, and 07. They really need to bring Free 4 All back. That mode was so much fun to play with friends. I have no idea why they ever removed Free For All. That mode was awesome, and it's seemingly easy to code into the game. I mean, they already have practice modes, it's basically a practice mode that keeps score within 1 blue line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I easily logged 1000 hours in the gamecube version; incredible game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxieMan98 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 There are a lot of great features but my favorite has to be the in depth commentating. Late in games they would say stuff like "the flyers scramble looking for the tying goal late in this game" even when they would make comments about the attendance in between whistles about how it was a tough year for the team. Small things like that just made the game all the much better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
