Blades of Steel was the game I grew up playing. Still one of the better ones from that era.
*EA SPORTS PRESENTS.... NHL 98*
My God I probably heard that 10,000 times playing on PC back in the day. Oh the nostalgia
That intro video was 🔥
Honestly, once you get to NHL 16, the game hasn't changed much.
Lost interest for the series after NHL 16
@@kistar3460 me 2. Out of curiosity I picked up 22 on sale, meh. I let my little cousin borrow it and he lost it. Lets just say I'm not mad
For the NFL, EA Sports has an exclusive license. That's why Madden has stayed stale. NHL has no such excuse. Why have there been no ESPN 2K NHL games out in so long?
yup...still hockey
@@tomservo75 EA has an exclusive license for the NHL series, it was established in 2012.... hence why no one else came out with an NHL sponsored hockey games after 11... look into it pal, Betteman screwed the loyal gamer.
NHL 09, 10 and 11 were the absolute class of this series. I literally cannot wrap my head around how they got away from that formula. Skill mattered by a huge margin and the game did what your thumbs input on the control sticks. Can’t believe whoever has been running EA NHL since 15 still has a job.
This summarizes exactly one of my biggest frustrations in past decade. I worked on that skill, and was getting pretty good at it. Now it's all taking advantages of AI glitches.
HUT ruined it all, they can just make an roster update and kids will spend 500$ in HUT every year
To me, EA relied on one touch buttons to execute all these fancy puck moves.
Maybe 2K had those same buttons, but I didnt need special puck magic buttons to beat my friends and family. I just stick handled around them like real life, no cheater buttons to make me Patrick Kane. Just me, handling the PlayStation controller manually.
I’m not going to lie, now that I think about it, pretty much all sports game hit their peak before or in 2011. After that, a slow descent.
It’s the same thing that ruined most all video games…youtube marketing.
You have a bunch of people with zero connection to a game forcing development to happen in a way solely for how it will “look” in a 2min fall time hype trailer.
That, and they know we won’t have another option so fuck us right?
A few days before the release of NHL 23, I offer you a video that traces the evolution of hockey games since 1979. Have you played these games? Which one is your favorite? If there are games missing from the list, feel free to mention them in the comments. Thanks
My favorites are Ice Hockey for NES, NHLPA 93, NHL 94 - 96 for Genesis and NHL 10 for 360
I saw a different game in the place of NHL 23.
NHL 14 was my grind
Can you still get all these games
NHL 93 Super Nintendo
We didn’t know how good we had it when we were getting 4-5 different good hockey games per year. I was always 2k , face off and power play series. … now it’s been 12 years of just 1 😢
100% agree!
Biggest reason the game has stagnated! Good example of how monopolies hurt inovation.
@@capthappy8884 monopolies and companies whos main priority is having modes that lead to more micro transactions.
that's insane to see different brands for the same year.
I remember ea was leading the rest in realism and graphics then , now it's least real in gameplay with no competition for years.
definitely peaked in 2009, i remember being amazed at the graphics on the new 360. almost 1.5 decades later and it has barely changed since then
NHL 06' is special for me because its part of my late teenage time around 19 yr old. Having soooo much fun with my best friend, still today
AS A 13 YEAR OLD WHEN NHL 93 CAME OUT FOR SEGA GENESIS WITH THE BLOOD AND FIGHTS....YOU WOULD HAVE KIDS LINED UP OUTSIDE MY HOUSE JUST TO COME IN AND HAVE A SEAT TO WATCH US ALL PLAY.....SUCH GREAT TIMES.....STILL MY FAVOURITE HOCKEY. GAME....👊👊...RESPECTS YOUR CHANNEL KICKS ASS
Nowadays 13's wouldn't even picture the situation. You're priveleged afterall, and so am I.
@@CelticGladiator7 Your absolutely right when you think about it..👊
me and my friend played sega hockey for money. i think it was the hockey before the blood and fights. i would get chicago for jeremy roenick and ed belfour always gave up goals from the length of the ice even tho he was a 98 rating. i would put in ray leblanc or someone. my buddie would never play me on my nintendo. asshole. LOL.
Nhl 2k5 and nhl 06 have a special place in my heart
2006 was an AMAZING year in the NHL. But then again, I'm a Hurricanes fan.
Играл только в НХЛ 2009 на протяжении 10 лет 😊
I can still remember the soundtrack of NHL96 - that's amazing
The menus as well, oh lord was it exciting!
Oh man, loved this video. Some amazing throwbacks there. Highlights were: Blades of Steel, Ice Hockey (NES), Wayne Gretzky Hockey, NHL '93, Mutant League Ice Hockey, NHL Open Ice, Hitz series, and 2k series. All those gave me so much memories.
NHL 04 was really ahead of its time. The intro of the skill stick for more realistic puck handling. GM mode was awesome. The fighting was good too. It still holds up. NHL 11, NHL 14 were also very good. Hitz was an institution. I wish there were more hockey games so EA had to actually try and make a good game. Hear Doc on NHL faceoff was awesome especially since EA botched him.
Wasn't the skill stick introduced in NHL 07? I remember buying it for the 360 and I feel like I remember distinctly tutorials "introducing the new skill stick feature"
@@tyehardy4534 shooting with the skill stick and more control over passing were introduced then I believe. 2004 you had enough of a skill stick to stickhandle
В 2004 NHL я играл очень много.
@@PeacedoorbaII В 2004 даже если и выиграешь Президентский кап, то в плей-офф обязательно в первом раунде вылетишь. Очень сложно было играть в плей-офф даже сильной командой против компа.
@@Alexsapir_21 ну хз. Я выигрывал 99% матчей на самом сложном уровне. Тактика была щелкнуть вратарю в блин и добить. Но нужно брать ручной прицел в настройках. И из-за ворот тоже много забивал. Ну короче надо вратаря запутать и положить. 😅
Nhl99 was the first hockey game I've played. memories... thanks for sharing
NHL 94 was a gamechanger. It changed absolutely everything with hockey video games.
Yep. Agreed. And it got two whole seconds of representation in this video.
@@the406seadonkey6 yeah even then they credited with the SNES version The Genesis version is the one that lives in infamy.
That 1980 Intellivision hockey was one of the most fun games of its era to play, on any platform, of any type. Its weird little quirks and bizarrely unrealistic gameplay made for hours and hours of laughter. I would play it now if I had the equipment to do so.
i liked that game too but the controls of the intellivision were awful. also games were ending many times 15 to 12 or something which was not realistic. the goalie sometimes being almost dead on the ice for like a minute after a shot was funny. it was the best hockey game at that time i agree even if it had issues but it was not the best game there was. remember that pac man was also an 1980 game or missile command , berzerk , battlezone and there was also other good games out there and not everyone like hockey. note that there was a better version of this hockey game. it was super pro hockey on the intellivision and you could play vs the computer. at that time i had only the game which need 2 players and i was playing alone sometimes lol
used PS2 + intellivision lives games and you are back in times
I think the Atari 2600 Ice Hockey was superior in terms of being better than the Intellivision version of Hickey in the early 1980s
@@raphaellall6270 I preferred Activision
Atari used the Activision developed games. So it's really Activision/Atari@@sappyjohnson
I miss when there was competition between 2k and EA. They would be unique, and most of the time, top tier quality NHP games. I also miss NHP games on PC.
This is LITERALLY a fact: NHL 02 and 04 will FOREVER be the BEST games. No one can prove me wrong at all. Best music too hands down!
I like the 2k11 for the best atmosphere.
EA NHL series is a money maker. I get it. They’re not interested in giving us what we want just what will sell.
The technology exists to have the absolute coolest hockey video game but they need the consistent income.
So the consumer gets less than their money’s worth.
04 yes
EA NHL 2001 was my 1st introduction to the hockey video game franchise. Later on I got the original Xbox and had NHL 2002, and man I loved that game. I wouldn't pick up another hockey game 15 years later (NHL 17) and NHL 17 was really good too. Then I got NHL 20 which in my opinion wasn't as good as NHL 02 or 17. I haven't picked up any NHL games since 20, but definitely would like to get back into it
I totally Agree. NHL 04 and 2K5 were my 2 favorites personally.
NHL 02 best ever!
Love how the footage shows that nhl 16 with roster updates could easily be nhl 23 since nothing meaningful has changed.
Well, at least we've got 100% all genders and nationalities represented among the refs in NHL23.. except white men. You know, since the NHL in reality has a 100% white male referee squad, why would anyone want to play the game as realistic as possible? 😆
@@hollowmadegenders? What, EA now putting preferred pronouns and pride flags on the game? Instead of actually fixing this piece of ass?
NHL 2024 where black Asians with blonde bowl cuts feel included. 😂
Blades of Steel from NES,Mario Lemieux Hockey from Genesis,NHLPA Hockey 93 for Genesis where my favorites growing up
These are honestly the best videos on UA-cam right now!!
I enjoyed EA hockey in 1991 so bad I began learning to skate and began ice hockey . Still playing at 50... but my level is still 1991 !😅
I miss Jim Hughson in every NHL and Triple Play in the day. Play by play is boring these days.
Triple Play had the best fake product ads. “Extreme doilies, the in your face doilies.”
Yzerman SHOOTS IT HARD! STONED COLD BY PATRICK ROY!
Shame he retired, still got it. That was the voice of my childhood.
I miss the game ads, now it's real ads for a Honda Pilot...... Boring
Are we not gonna talk about how you used NHL 15/Legacy Edition footage for NHL 23?
Wayne Gretzky's 3D hockey will forever be the greatest hockey game ever made.
A fucken men 😂
The body checks in that game were fantastic. Guys would literally go spinning in the air. Slap shots could knock the goalies and nets back into the boards. Toe to toe, bare knuckle boxing matches for fights. It WAS amazing.
Back to back in this video are the best in my childhood opinion.
NHL 95 and Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA all stars. Best fight mode in the Gretzky game.
In my book, NHL 94 will always be the best sports game ever made. The one-timers were an absolute game changer. Back then, I received it at Christmas, spent countless hours playing it. The next Chrstimas I got NHL 95, played for about 2 weeks, than sold it and came back to NHL 94....
I love this game too. Peace!
NHL 95' baby. Played that game everyday
My favorite was NHL 2003. I only had a NES before that and my parents got me the xbox for christmas, I went to the store and got to pick out a couple games, one of them was NHL 2003. I became addicted to that game, it was perfect. I feel like that game was more fun to play than the NHL games out today, but it could just be the nostalgia.
Ice Hockey from 1988 was the best!
wow thanks for this video, bring back a lot of memories!!
This was an amazing video..brings back so many memories.
How me and my friends loved blades of steel! It was ahead of it’s time
Hard to believe it’s been that long ago
Thanks for the upload
me too! always tried to push to take gloves off.
That wasn’t nhl 23, it was like ps3 nhl 14
It's on purpose to show one of many things 14 had and they took away
When these games came to Germany, I took the bus to the store, a 45min trip, bought it, a 45min trip back home and reading the manual while on the bus. I remember those days as if they were yesterday.
The original Wayne Gretzy’s 3D Hockey for N64 was SO much fun. Remember when the goalies would literally turn into a brick wall? Or the code that made their heads enormous?
Fun fact: the skaters in 1991 NHL Hockey are images of the artist himself in pads. Old school rotoscoping off VHS images. He let me color in my favorite teams.
3 on 3 arcade was goated man
This video makes me appreciate the newer games
i loved the wayne gretzky hockey on the amiga
You have made some real effort on this video, subscribed.
The graphics may be better nowadays but nothing today compares to nhl 94. Best hockey game ever made.
Thank you. I was hoping someone would say this.
Yes
Yesssss!!!
NHL 95
92,93 and 94 were all fantastic in their own ways. I always preferred 93 though. Anything after 94 was an after thought.
I had a Nintendo with Wayne Gretzky Hockey on it and it was a very good game. I would love to get my hands on that one again.
I was self aware in 1993 (7 years old). N64 Wayne Gretzky's hockey was the best NHL game I played. Just bring your controller over and have a marathon a fun all night. Such great memories.
NHL Breakway 98 will always have a place in my heart.
Happy Winter Day 🥶☃️❄️ from VGE!
NHL games will always have a special place in my heart.
Yes You got it.
What’s weird nhl games made me watch hockey
along with there soundtracks
Love how the crowd cheering is just static noise in International Hockey.
Mike Emrick is my favorite hockey commentator of all time, but I used to think that Mike Emrick on the commentary (in the game’s specifically) was annoying. When they switched the broadcast team from the Eddie, and Doc to James, I realized I really liked the old NBC broadcasting of the previous games.
Nothing beats NHL 10 commentary though
GREAT SAVE LULANGO
Face Off looked like it was ahead of its time graphics wise. Those players look 3D almost.
Sick video.
Spent most time with NHL 93. It was just pure fun to play. Really good old golden times. Then switched to NHL 96 and legendary NHL 98, which was the real milestone. Next big step was introducing NHL 2003, many years peaking with NHL 2009. Since then, EA somehow managed to kill the series with random ideas and become unplayable.
Anyways, whenever I do recall NHL series, warm heat comming from my heart instantly. What a time it was.
NHL 94 with Roenick was awesome 😂
This was a great video, oh I remember the old retro days going to the arcade and play hockey specifically air hockey
I remember since NHL 2000, what a good times. From that time saw the evolution of the game
I can't express the disappointment that was Wayne Gretzky hockey for NES seeing as how he was my favorite player growing up. But then we got Sega Genesis and EA hockey, and Jeremy Roenick suddenly became my favorite player, lol. Dude was unstoppable in that game.
played them all and loved them all. Blades of steel will always be my favorite (FIGHT)
Loved the Nintendo NHL game take a friggin penalty shot from the blue line and the goes off the goalies head and in the net LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣
i had so many of those going all the way back to atari activision hockey. intellivision had a good hockey game. my friend had that system. the nintendo hockey w/ skinny, medium and big guys was the best.
1:50 NES Ice Hockey, still legendary.
Pretty cool hearing all the players names that I grew up watching and pretending to be playing hockey as a little dude
NHL 23 has the winter classics and it has the old people in it when you do it
i actually have a still-functioning arcade cabinet for 2-on-2 Open Ice Challenge in my basement, played it in college. About 12 years ago, i found one on ebay and bought it
Mutant League Hockey and Football were by jams. Lets go Bones Jackson!!!
NHL 2001 is kept in my heart. good times
That's gonna cause health issues if it hasn't already
@3:23 I remember having this one for Sega Genesis. I used to love sports games back in the early to mid-90s when I was a kid. I miss those days.
I used to get so amped up during the fights for nhl 2004. I was 9 so i litetally stood up and was way too into it lol I even had a copy with Heatley on the cover before they changed due to the tragedy that occurred. Still probably my favorite old school nhl game
There was also Atari 2600 'hockey'. It was basically Pong with a light blue (ice) background.
@1:35 that cut screen for slapshots LOL
Grew up a fan of the EA franchise first on Sega Genesis (NHL Hockey, NHLPA Hockey then NHL94, plus that game's iteration on PC). We later played NHL2000 on PC for countless nights. The fun we had whacking away at opponents after the whistle and have them flip upside down with hip checks (though when they spun like a screw being drilled, it lacked juuust a bit of realism)... Also played some of the next installments on PC, as well as earlier entries on SNES, N64 or GameCube with the friends that actually had those. Recently discovered the featured Super blood hockey, although on Switch. That is more of a disgrace than the Slapshot movie on steroids, and brings the fun back where it may have faded.
1:02
“He scores!”
*Ear piercing screeches*
NHL'98 on PS1 🤟
Early 90’s hockey that got me into gaming
love NHL video games so much 💙❤
NHL '96 was my fav as we used to take turns playing it while in college
2k sports games were the GOATs of all sports games, between hockey and football they had everyone else beat by 1000%
Does anyone else remember playing NHL 15 And then just compare that to now😂
I still remember my Intellivision hockey very well....early 80's....used to play it for hours and hours with my buddies....
You missed that one gameboy NHL game, “Ice Hockey” I think it’s called.
I remember playing all night long during the NHL season on SEGA. I always chose Anaheim.
It was nice when there was competition, not just the same game every year
1988 ice hockey! Loved that game!!
EA 94’, Gretzky 3D, 98, 2001, and of course 07’ was groundbreaking…actually 2024 was really well done.
Atari 2600 in 1981 will always be my favorite!
'94, '04, '14, and the hitz series are still my favorites
so by that math hopefully nhl 24 will be incredible too. since 14 every game has stunk. but i do agree with you. all those out of the EA series were the best.
I have NHL 14 and love it, no reason to get another game.
18:51 There is no way that is NHL 23, that is Doc Emrick's voice and he has not done the play-by-play for the NHL in any capacity since 2020, he stopped doing the EA video games in 2019
Everyone played EA Sports NHL. But some standouts were Ice Hockey, Stanley Cup, Brett Hull Hockey and NHL Hitz on the game cube.
Ea NHL 94 Needed a much longer segment. It was a key development in the franchise.
To this day it's amazing to see how badly the Amiga blew everything else away during that period. Graphically it took years for everything else to catch up.
9:52 his power move will go down in the history of the best
4:05 BRO IS THAT AL MICHAELS?
Pretty sad that not a lot of innovation or graphical improvements since NHL 2009
The fact that you BUY all of these games yourself and edit the videos yourself as well got you a subscriber here 👏🏼
I had a bunch of these with many hours spent playing them. I also had a random Atari hockey that isn't in this video where you had to reset the game if the puck ever went behind the net because it was impossible to retrieve it. They made the players too big to fit.
Ah Blades Of Steel, I loved that game when I was a ki....oh god, do I feel old!
Wayne Gretzky Hockey II and Power Play Hockey were my jams.
If you remember "Blaaaaades of Steeeeeeel" repeated over and over again.....then we are about the same age.
Softspots shown here for this old man include 1980 (Mattel Intellivision) which was awesome fun. Advanced strat included shooting at the goalie from behind the side of the net which would incapacitate him, and an open goal would result for about 10 seconds.
Early 2K series were the best. Could turn options all the way up to play SUPER fast and SUPER physical hockey👍👍👍
The way hockey is supposed to be played!!!
Compare that with the same era EA NHL games, which were excellent to play franchise modes. But, the game play was skating on CONCRETE!!!
I know quite impossible, but the 2K series should be the way reality is, was and will always be hockey.
It sorta stands out, how smooth EA Sports games were compared to the rest. Always ahead of the competition, in presentation and gameplay. It’s easy to see why it has no competition these days (and why it’s become so lazy). Great video.
