First, i'd suggest this thread to be moved to "other games". Moderators can do that. But then, yes i have played NHL 2005. That's got to be (one of the) worst hockey games ever. I think pretty many here have the same opinion with me. Although, there was some good mmrs of the World Cup tournament and the soundtrack rocked, but nah, dont buy it. |

no problem just move it wherever u think it belongs the reason why i started this topic is that i've played almost every nhl game since 1993 but i missed some of them since some years the game was really awful. i played nhl 08 and 09 used mods for european leagues, different AI settings (tried to make my own) but then i realized that probably the best nhl game - considering difficulty - AI and even graphics for pc was nhl 2004 so i installed game again and started to check out if i find some addons for it like i was used with nhl 08, 09. then i found flyermania site and moved here after flyermani closed so i wanted to complete my knowledge of all the games and since u guys created the rebuilt mod on nhl 2004 i wanted to track down a history bit |

I think all PC versions after NHL 04 were awful. The game engine is pretty much the same in 06-09. So it's the same game with different graphics, really. 05 was definitely the worst of them all. NHL 04 (PC), NHL 2k5 (1st gen) and NHL08 (next gen) are probably the three best hockey games ever, ai wise. Feature wise, it's not even close... modded NHL 04 takes the cake. |

I think NHL 2004 is the best game of the EA-hockey-series. Than there is NHL 2002, old game but I have still fun with it! The new next-gen-games have a great graphic and a awesome controll, but there are just missing some details that the older games had. And I never played NHL 94 and so on, so I don't know. |

I remember when i played this game, obtained a disk for free (thank god) and installed it, played Detroit vs. Calgary, scored a goal with Robert Lang, then i shut the game off and said "This game sucks". |

nhl 94 or nhl 1993 as i know it was really great one of the first serious hockey games ever and one of the best. then - nhl 95 was a sequel slightly improved but basically the same as 94 (i think back there they realised how easy can the game make money - same graphics, almost identical gameplay, new menus and little bit here and there and new box of course) after that they started to make 3d games so it was a bit painfull process but nhl 2000 was great again - a thought that its like nhl 93 but with 3d graphics to be continued..... |

Yes of course... they're great classic games... but they represent different era... you can't really compare them to NHL04 or next gen games, gameplay wise. I really liked NHL 2000 and NHL 2001. 01 was a huge step forward graphically, and NHL 2000 was lots of fun. |

You guys don't mention NHL 97 on the PS1 as one of the worst games? In that game the skaters can out run the puck when it was dumped against the ice. |

I actually got another chance to play NHL 2005 like 4 days ago, i played a exhibition between Tampa Bay and Calgary. my god, what the f*ck was EA thinking when they programmed the hitting? so aggressive and so "magnet-like" i know hits happen in the NHL, but not at the frequency that EA Sports and 2K Sports like to advertise. |
