Are you using a firewall?

Yes.

That's probably the culprit. When you change the ticker mode the game tries to connect to ESPN's RSS feed. If a firewall alert pops up, the game will freeze until you select an option. Try to manually create a firewall rule for master_tool.exe. It's an outgoing TCP connection to port 80.

I did it but its still same. I start the game, white screen and i can hear some windows sound (like before) and nothing happens. Can i change the news ticker to the old one outside the game?

You need to set the following registry key to 0:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EA SPORTS\NHL 2004\Settings\Tickermode

It seems white screen is common thing.

I installed NHL04 Rebuilt 2015 before couple of times and never had any problem.

But now this.

Yes it is. I have to wait with white screen something like a 30-60 seconds everytime when I start the game.
