  • NHL 14 is often mentioned besides some of the top hockey video games of all-time...but does it deserve to be? DZ & Corwin revisit the EA Sports classic in the latest edition of Game Capsule.

    This franchise is what goes wrong when you release a game every year that is expected to feel different enough to be worth a $60 price tag, I play a lot of chel for better or worse but I could write a book about how this game has turned into a perennial letdown for me, what if they charged a bit more for a game like 21-22 and only release a title every other year, give that skeleton crew of developers enough time to actually make something worthwhile and patch in updates to continue to improve on it during the life cycle of each game, idk something needs to be done though, this series would be dead if they had any legit competition

    We had two seasons of 11 people/teams for gm connected. It was awesome. Just had to make a timeframe for when the games needed to by played by and if they couldn’t then the guy who wasn’t able to just allowed his team to be played by the computer. Another thing the games started missing after ‘14 was you could bring your outside winger to set up below the inside winger for a face-off simply by holding L2 and then up on the stick or d pad before the faceoff was setup.

    I've have owned every NHL to date, all I remember about the old ones is that NHL 11 was always my favorite by far.

    So i've heard this in The Diamond Minecart's (as far as i know) most recent musical intro, but i don't know if the song he used is ACTUALLY his, or just something he borrowed for his intro after the older one was (aparently) taken down for copyright.
