The new NHL is like what the great Don Taylor from NHL 2002/03, thit is the chutney on the somosa. The new nhl provides us with some of the great realism of the game that we love so much. The new bruise control makes hitting a lot more pleasurable as instead of just laying somebody out on there back you can reall FUBAR them up. The only downside to this great game is where the last NHL had the advantage… the kick ass replays of breakaways, saves and hits followed by some excellent music. The commontary on this game also wears thin as the perfect partnership for this game would have still been Jim Hughson but with the comical Don Taylor. Apart from this though the game rates tops. Good job EA Sports, hope 2005 is just as good, GET DON TAYLOR BACK.
~First of all the people complaining about it being too hard clearly didn’t take five minutes to adjust it. You can adjust just about everything in the game so if it’s too hard make it easier duhh. Secondly for realism this game is second to none. I have played all the nhl, faceoff, nhl2k series, since 93 and this is the best. Hitting is easier then they make it seem. All you have to do is move the right analog stick in the direction of the opponent not charge up and hit extra buttons. ~~ Although it takes a little time getting used to the controls they allow for much greater detail. You can play the puck from in between your feet and pull off some amazing moves with pinpoint precision. The franchise mode is amazing, allowing everything from setting practices to investing more money in staff and equipment upgrades, to even adjusting ticket prices. This is the first game where free agency actually means something. I.E you can get real players and being that you also have~~ revenue constraints to worry about you actually can lose a good player. Finally a game that makes a franchise mode worth investing some of your time into. The potential rating allows you to gauge which low tier players are worth investing money into for future seasons and trading draft picks means something. There are admitedly a few flaws. I agree with the not displaying types of injuries and time left remaining on them is plain stupid. Also players do tend to accrue rediculous stats. I~~ am b.
Has scratches. This game is actually a re purchase. Played the other copy so much I wore it out!!totally love this game!
This game is pretty good overall. The controls of the game are great and the graphics are pretty good. There are a lot of different things you can do, from the bruise control to the dekes and manual dekes. That aspect of the game owns all others. But the problem with the game is not the way the game is played, but the way it is displayed. The thing that dissapointed me was the way the arenas were done. Nhl 2004 doesn’t have much detail in the different rinks. All the jumbotrons look the same. As a matter of fact, all arenas are the same except for the team logo at center ice. EVen NHL 2K3 puts some distinction between the rinks. Also NHL 2004 doesn’t have much of an introduction for the players. Again NHL 2K3 beats them with that. I was a little dissapointed in the fighting system. The way its done is great but it is random wheather you win or not. Even if you set it to the easiest level, it sometimes is still hard. I created a bunch of players with 99 everything including toughness and I can still lose sometimes. NHL 2004 could have put a lot more effort into the way the crowd reacts to goals. If you are the away team and you score, the crowd stands up and claps. If the away team wins, and the game is over they still stand up and clap. NHL 2K3 makes the crowd react kind of mad when the other team scores. They are just little things, but if they would have put more effort into that, this would have been the best hockey game I’ve ever played. If you like hockey, deffinitely b.
THE GAME IS FUN FLUED AND SEEMS EFFORTLESSLY PUT TOGETHER, a little micromanaging problems, BUT BESIDES THAT AWESOME
It was great. This game is working just as well as the last game. My little brother and I are very happy with it.
My son is very happy with this game. It is hard to find games for the older Xbox but we did and the shop shipped super fast!
NHL 2004 is the best hockey game I have ever played. I love games where they have simulated gms and this desire is satisfied with the dynasty mode. I am used to being able to make trades and sign free agents but allowing me to set ticket prices, manage attendance, and dealing with player happiness and practice sessions is an awesome feature.My only knock on the game is when they say they give you 20 years for you to create a dynasty, it really does take almost that amount of time to do it. If you do not simulate each game and you actually play each one, you have millions of hours of entertainment ahead of you. Also they don’t really tell you how the minor league system works or what some of the stats are for. So it’s kinda a guessing game from that standpoint.Otherwise, this is an awesome hockey game and has provided me with days of entertainment.
First off, let’s explain what was wrong with last year’s NHL 2003. The game lacked any element of realism, the scores were constantly in the double digits, and the hitting was oh-too-easy. Real NHL games do not contain 75 hits per team. After last year’s disaster of a game, this year’s installment was a breath of fresh air.This year, EA dumped the silly arcade hockey idea, and decided to create a "hockey-sim." Genius. To achieve this, they had to add something that last year’s game also lacked: difficulty. It’s harder to get a shot off, it’s harder to get a breakway, it’s harder to hit. Strangely enough, people seem to dislike this. They can’t stand a realistic hockey game. If you want arcade thrills, try NHL HitZ. If you want near perfect hockey realism, try NHL 2004 or ESPN.Remember: This is an NHL, I repeat, NHL game! In case you haven’t noticed, the NHL is not easy. You don’t see 5 breakaways a game, and you don’t see bonecrushing hits every 3 seconds. Sure, this game has its flaws. The AI is sometimes slightly unrealistic, but I would rather an unrealistically hard AI than an unbelievably retarded one. The controls are a bit unusual, but anything worthwhile will take time.LACE THEM SKATES UP AND BUY THIS GAME
fun to play and easy to learn
