those were the good days when 2-3 developpers developped hockey games, such as ESPN, Midway with NHL HITZ, and Of course EA. There were more choice than today with only EA games, I played a lot this one and HITZ, I am a fan of a hockey game oriented more towards arcade gameplay even today
I still play this game. In fact, it's the only NHL game I play. I used to get a 3 minute uninterrupted power play a lot. When guys square off to fight, let your opponent get the first punch in then skate around until the animation ends. He'll get a 5 minute major while you get a 2 minute minor.
My God that PlayStation 2 startup sound I haven't heard that in so many years. I remember how such a beautiful sound it was but you never knew it was going to say disc read error
2:28 The ESPN on NHL theme is so nostalgic. One of my favorite sports themes of all time!
And it's back!

Which was the last EA NHL game that felt Arcade?
NHL 06
I Prefer Hitz Pro over Hitz though.
This goes for any sports game!!! Competition = Quality. The EA Monopoly is so ridiculous they shit out the same games every year
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey for N64 with infinite turbo cheat code = FTW tho
"Little fun in the sun, folks. Phoenix Coyotes, this is a young team that's gonna go places, just keep your eye on them." 🤣
oh yeah, they’re going somewhere alright
and that’s Utah 💀

I'd rather fight and lose and hold my head high than be rewarded with a 3min pp but forever hold my head in shame.
The commentary, pa announcers are so much better then today 😭😭
Atleast some parts when they go in more depth
no it wasn't, but nothing is better than Gary Thorne.
One of the best nhl games
Graphics are surprisingly good for the PS2.
Just bought this today for 5 bucks 👍

Hockey is back with ESPN!
So Happy As a Flyers Fan!
Got this emulated on my Xbox Series X 💪
I have a series X too. How do you get this?
RIP Arizona Coyotes
Last time Arizona had an arena
It's unreal how good this game is but it falls short of NHL Hitz pro
Also do ESPN NHL hockey 2k4 next
Эх настальгия...
