NHL 2005 screens

[Null]

prolly pc or xbox screens but still

*yawn*


EA cant do hockey. i've given up on em.


want a real game then watch out for ESPN NHL 2005

[Perfect Stu]

Null is right about ESPN being better the last couple of years...but I'm still going to wait and see with this game.

NHL 94 and NHL 96 are still my two favourite hockey games

Im still stickin' with Ea, i just like the hockey games better than the sega ones. I tried ( i think it was) ESPN NHL 2003 or 2004 or something like that, and i just didnt like the way it looked, the people to me looked all wrong and skinny and stuff. I might buy both though, but still....omg to these screens IMO.

EA has better graphics no doubt.

but the ESPN looks and acts more realistic. if that makes sence. (and it was 2004, actually just ESPN NHL Hockey was the name, but before that was Sega NHL 2k3)

its a realistic sim game with Sega/espn, EA does arcade style.
my main reason though, was the online is HORENDOUS for EA NHL, every idiot out there turns speed fully up. making end scores in the 20's. my last game i played on EA NHL 2004 ended at 23-20 ....... after that i said **** this, and went and got ESPN, been happy ever since, theres still people who turn up the speed on espn, but most are willing to play at a nice sim speed. hard as hell to find someone to play a decent setup game on EA.

IMO both hockey games should have set rules you cant change for ranked online games. i mean, WTF, you cant go into madden and crank up the speed when you play online, so why hockey?

( yes, it was Sega 2k3 i played)

I would like to argue you on one point.

You said the sega ones are more of a sim, and EA more of an arcade style.

Look back at the last EA hockey game, NHL 2004. That has a major sim element in it, wher you can be the GM of a team for 20 consecutive years. Plus this is the least arcade style hockey game tey have ever made.

The "Big hits" are no longer cross-checks only, but now hip-checks, trips, slashes and body checks.

And you shouldnt judge the game on the stupidity of other people. Thats just lame.

" Oh, people are making this game suck online, other than not playing online or starting my own game, i'll denounce this game."

I cant vouch for the newest Sega hockey game, because ive never played it.
