Dude's still in them just not in the NHL anymore

[@iceking1580]

NHL 04 was by far my favourite!! I liked that you could customize your GMs office. But the game play was amazing

[@sammogaming9732]

The transition from 97 to 98 is just amazing. What an improvement that was.

[@sammogaming9732]

ah ok that's pretty interesting. I'll have to read about that.

[@braydenb.7816]

+Sammo 03 to 04 was huge too

[@sofukingwhat]

same with 07-08

[@stevesmith1251]

yea

[@sulosky]

I had -97 for PC and it looked more like that -98 version.

[@ThunderHockeyTFL]

I remember playing nhl 98 when I was like 5 years old back in '99 and legit feeling like I was actually in the game playing it, seemed so realistic , ea really got the small details down to point back then...for example on whistles they'd show stats, before game starts they'd do the anthem and show a warm-up..made it feel so realistic, nowadays it doesn't feel the same

[@zeked4200]

2004-2007 were my favorite years. 11 year old me thought NHL 2001 looked so amazing when I first got it home...it's fun now to see how it actually looked. It was my first NHL game...I've owned every one since. Great video, really enjoyed it.

[@illuminosis6823]

I miss Don and Jim. They made NHL 2002 even more fun then it already was. When I was younger I used to always play NHL 2002 on our old computer.

[@animewolf5389]

Thank you for posting this. It's truly amazings to see how the game has change over time. Such a jump from '97 to '98. This is a chunk of my childhood. Such fond memories of the NHL games, and many other games I've played as well

[@LeetNightHockey]

NHL 2001 Demo on PC is the first game of the series I've ever played when I was 8 years old, back in late 2000. Then found NHL 2002 and absolutely fell in love with it. I really mean "absolutely". Played it for 4 years until NHL 06 got released, and played it a lot as well. I started to get really good and then played NHL 08 and 09 in the online lobby, racking amazing stats against really good players (still remember most of the usernames of most players, like "statsman"). All on PC. Those were such fond memories and great times in my childhood... I had switch on console by the time NHL12 got released, and fell in love with NHL13. Stopped playing since then... I plan on buying a PS4 and the upcoming NHL17 on release day. Watching the graphical evolution is bittersweet for the eyes, but is it worth it to invest all that money as far as the gameplay is concerned? I thought NHL13 had the best gameplay of all the games; how much has it changed - positively and negatively - since? Thanks for the video. It definitely brought me back great feelings.

[@DangleCity]

+Thief1337 thanks for the comment

[@Rilo1999]

Gameplay has actually been kind of worse since they jumped to current gen. Hopefully NHL 17 is a huge improvement. 15 was an embarrassment for EA and the only thing better in 16 was EASHL

[@TwelveK]

NHL 2001 was my favourite one, I LOVED that game. Especially the commentary & hitting.

[@animewolf5389]

Your story is awesome. It's great growing up with games, eh? I love seeing old games and thinking about how I grew up with them. You should get NHL 17, it's awesome. Awesome new gameplay, more cellys, more customizations, it's awesome. Thanks you for sharing this :)

[@sebas199113]

Oh my god, it looks like exactly my childhood with little differences (I played from NHL04 on Gamecube to NHL14 on Xbox360). Great memories playing this series, I still remember songs that were in the games 10 years ago (07 and 09 were the best soundtracks to me). I started to be really good when NHL11 came out, playing against top100 players online and winning a lot of games. I reached my top on NHL14 and I will always remember that game I played with my best friend (he was as good as me at the time) against a guy named "Sauce'N'Flow" who was ranked like 5th in the world, and we found a way to beat him, it's just an unforgettable memory! And then NHL15 came out on current gen..... To me, it was the worst hockey game ever made. I sold my copy in November, I was so furious of how EA made a game so bad, I mean, the celebrations are good, graphics are improved, people the crowd are very realistic, but the GAMEPLAY was so bad.... I give EA a last chance with NHL16 and even with the adding of more game modes, the game was still very bad. I don't recommend you to buy NHL17 on September, especially if you don't have a PS4 and you think of buying one just to play the game. It's pathetic how they missed their shot with the current gen. I'm 25 now, my childhood is over, and it's time for me to move on.

[@nicknyrfan6720]

Thanks you for doing this I really appreciate this

[@jeremyrhansen6637]

95, 98,03,05,10,11,12 were the best games!!!! I miss Jim Hugsons voice on the older games soooo much!

[@FrostyBlizzardGaming]

Such good memories! Man, I loved playing these games and still do! So can't wait for 17!

[@JohnSmith-st2bf]

Memories! 2000 nothing better than playing 20 min periods against a buddy and the score would be 50-49, good times

[@pobozac]

nhl 99, nhl 04, and nhl 17 are some kind of milestones for this franchise, they show the biggest improvements compared to the previous versions. But i used to love playing nhl 06 with Atlanta Thrashers, they were my favorite team, Marian Hossa, Ilya Kovlachuk, great times :D and i will never forget that unlucky goal irl against the Rangers :D

[@pixelj4877]

I've played every game on this list, some I owned, some I would play at my friends and to me the most important games have to be NHL 98, 2002 and 2008. The jump in quality of gameplay, features and graphics from those installments compared to the previous ones are enormous. They're also the ones I played the most for good reason. A lifetime of good memories. I will always remember booting up NHL 2002 and loving the song from Gob - I hear you calling. It's my EA sports NHL anthem forever. Thanks for the upload! What's your ultimate EA NHL anthem?

[@yeabuddy2222222]

cool vid, you can really see over the past 4-5 years of nhl just how many animations they have re used. seems like every year now is just updated graphics with updated rosters and just recently even less game modes depending on what console you bought nhl 15 on.

[@canadianmetalhead5788]

Yup, yet people keep buying them, which is sad. EA is slacking lately because they don't have any competition.

[@MGTV1]

I skipped 15.

[@yaok5292]

This is a great video keep it up

[@leftywith4strings201]

Watching the nhl ‘02 footage took me back. My dad had a PS2 and we ALWAYS played that game

NHL '94 for Sega was great. They even showed highlights from other games.

Nhl 2000 was the greatest those wrap arounds where the goalie would follow you, 2006, 2010, 2014 are classics to

Lol the commentary for NHL 02 xD

[@codekhalil6437]

NHL 94. The perfect sports game. Still play in leagues to this day.

[@sillythygoose]

NHL 2004 was my childhood game and now that I watch this 2004 is when the nhl games graphics really hit a new level

[@Licherify]

99 with Voodoo 3 was amazing! It was like a new age in the 3D graf. 2002 was excellent too

[@sandro07warrior]

2001...the most I played in my life, great memories ..

[@LaPlusMeilleure]

i had my best childhood memory with nhl 95 with impressive Ed Belfour at a rating of 100. The blackhawks were amazing that year :)

[@mobogdan4683]

[@sebastiangrumman8507]

Yes, his "called" top-shelf goal in the all-star game is classic.

[@ivanamrki]

2002 with Don Taylor was my favorite. At intermision: " It's time for one team to party and for other team to reach for reset button"

[@keechy1551]

Most memorable for me has to be NHL 03. Alway's played that with my brother. I recently picked up NHL 06 from a pawn store and the game even that game was fun with the older GM mode which was called "Dynasty Mode". In my opinion the best NHL game to me is NHL 14.

[@AlexMaxwell2000]

I Miss Gary And Bill So Much They Have Been Around Since NHL 08 And NHL 14.

[@artursbode]

I'm still playing NHL 2002 on PS2... Love it

NHL '94 still arguably the best sports game ever made

[@justinred3382]

I didn't realize how much I miss the old Sens logo

[@homemadeoj4201]

The goal in '97 looks more like a soccer net than a hockey net

[@adamhlobil7921]

My childhood game was NHL 05, still have it on the PS2, must have racked up weeks of playing time

[@T2P661]

So much nostalgia when 06 came up. It was the first nhl game I played. Back when drury and briere were a dominant duo and Buffalo was a powerhouse

[@JoshuaWSiegel]

powerhouse taken down by Carolina :)

[@Vilgotczky]

Mine too! :D

[@SUPERCROSBY96]

Nhl 06 best one made. Brings back the best memories and iv been playing since 99

[@aaronmaxim]

the 24 yr old with many many more years of success beat out 31 year old grinding for years. No Howe unfort also.....great work fans and EA . Not surprised

0:53 where's the offside lol

[@nevmiles]

NHL '94 ..... still the best of all time!

[@ccain96]

NHL Hockey was technically the first one created by EA. However 94 was the first one that was licensed by the NHLPA so they could use their names.

[@luvslogistics1725]

My faves are nhl 94 and nhl 19 - the best ever

nhl 04- those memorirs

[@void3923]

94-we started from the bottom 17-now we here

[@mattimoquin8123]

As a oilers fan I personally like NHL 2007. I have it on a PS2 because I like the older games.also because the only time Edmonton was good was the end of the 2006 playoffs going into 2007.

[@clustercloudzz8431]

94 the classics

[@canadianbacon8545]

I really liked the slapshot function they added in 01

[@canadianbacon8545]

Makes it feel like a arcade game

[@krash8694]

nhl 12 was my all time favorite

[@shawner1989]

84 amd 99 Will always be my favourite

[@SuperMCModder]

One really minor addition that I think could be cool would be suspensions in gm, season, be a pro etc. Say you check someone from behind and injure them or the AI does something similar you receive maybe a 5 game suspension or an AI player does. It would also be able to be turned off if not wanted. What do you guys think? I think it could add realism.

[@GhettoTownPhatBoy]

The more realistic the better. NHL 16 was missing a lot of things that NHL 17 is looking to offer. The thing that pissed me off the most in NHL 16 is when you're playing Be a Pro mode and get drafted to a team, you can't request to be traded. I hope they have that in NHL 17.

[@NJD009]

I've been saying that for years. I remember in 2002 they had them technically for my roster always had suspended players from sims but never from my antics playing.

[@SuperMCModder]

+NJD009 There's so many things I want. I also don't know why they took out ability to shatter glass and hit into benches but that was awesome.

[@NJD009]

+Nolan Fowler exactly. It's gotten better and I understand that there are maybe 25 developers for this game compared to the 200 something for madden. It's hard to look at bright spots for this franchise when so many key features are absent. All-star game, suspensions, realistic momentum for I can tell no difference from mid season game vs game 7 in the finals, better defense, amongst many many other little things that add up. If nhl 2k was still around I fully believe this franchise would be miles better from the competition instead I believe they are messing around with phone stuff for you can't develop much without the license sadly

[@SuperMCModder]

+NJD009 True, I've played older NHL 2k games and its ridiculous that in some ways its better than NHL 16

[@blaiddrunner348]

nhl 07 and 2017 are my favourites

[@dominic-alexandredesrosier6272]

I remember Ice Hockey on NES, with USSR and Tcheckoslovakia. Probably from the late 80'...

[@lucascasagrande4799]

I'm brazilian and before 1994 I did not even have any idea about what could be Ice Hockey, then I played NHL 94 for Mega Driver ( sega genesis) OMG it was love for the first sight, Today I follow NHL, I became a Colorado Avalanche supporter ( also likes Flyers ) and I hope one day I can watch a NHL match

[@MindedRug4]

NHL 14 was the best IMO

[@christopherpatton1964]

NHL 94 and NHL 2012 were my favorite games as far as EA goes.

[@migthefig]

94 was the 3rd NHL. The first was in 91 on the Sega Genesis but didn't have a year on it, it was just NHL. Then the first NHL with a year on it was NHLPA 93 both on Sega Genesis and SNES. The came NHL 94 all the way to 17

[@nicktardif7233]

nhl 94 was so awesome

[@aidan7099]

The series got a lot better at 05, 06, or 07 I'm just too lazy to go back

[@LegionOfEclaires]

13/14 were my favorite.

[@hanslefka2632]

The hitting on nhl 14 felt so good, nhl 15 was a game changer tho (mostly graphic wise)

All parts very cool

[@thanatossassin]

My personal favorites throughout the years were 93 SNES (my first) 94 SNES (most improved) 97 PC (Customization!!) 2002 PC (most fun) 07 PS3 (HD Console graphics) 3-on-3 (NBA jam status, bring it back!) After 2010, they slowed it way the fuck down and without modifying the game speed settings (impossible on all online matchups), it lost its fun. I swear the guys in FIFA and NBA run faster than they skate now.

[@CDNSpartan]

The EA NHL games I own are. 03, and 06 for PC which I bought at a thrift store. 11,12,13,14 for Xbox 360 and 15 for PS4 all bought used at EB Games.
