I'm still the NHL Hockey Champion of the office, but I'm sure glad the Trading Option has been added to this year's version. I beat him 2-0 with the Montreal Canadians against his Chicago Black Hawks, one of the better teams in the game. It's a great game made better, and the Iceman and I have been going crazy with it. If you've been a fan of this game in the past, you won't be disappointed with this newest version. The key to being successful in NHL '95 are quick passes, keeping your head up, and rushing the net even when the goaltender has the puck. Take to the ice in your own gaming NHL Hockey minicamp in order to perfect your one-timers and precision passes.

If you're the Gretzky of your gaming block, your old tricks won't work on this game. This game skates circles around the competition, as usual. Throughout the game, I wanted to drop the gloves on the Iceman and exact some old-fashioned hockey justice. When Iceman and I were playing the game there were some sketchy times. I was truly disappointed with the No Fighting Option in this hockey game. At least those tidbits will try to make up for the lack of brawl fests. There are trades and a lot more statistic-saving features in this year's version. Gamers can thank Gary Bettman, president of the National Hockey League, for this nofighting approach to the game.Įlectronic Arts has increased the standard of gaming hockey once again with this cart, despite the lack of a fighting feature. But, there are no fightng segments in this game. Cherry (the pugilistic prognosticator, man with the loud ties, former coach of the Boston Bruins and now analyst on Night in Canada) likes fighting in hockey and so do I. One timers are easy to master and the puck can fly off your stick like lightning.ĭon Cherry will be none too happy. The goalies are quicker, and those cheap dekes and turnaround moves won't work this year.

The defenses are tougher and a new, advanced artificial intelligence has made it harder to bulge the twine (score). They pounded this game into shape and redesigned the entire cart.įrom blue line to blue line, this game is faster than ever. It was a long off-season for the gang at EA Sports. Time to hit the ice and rush the net with EA Sports' newest hard-hitting venture onto the gaming ice. HIT THE ICE WITH THE BEST HOCKEY SAME EVER MADE
