NHL stuff.

I like their new jersey! Good stuff.

I can't wait for this hockey season. I agree with you about the Leafs... But you never know about them. They could come out and play some really good hockey and surprise all the doubters... But that is what leaf fans say every year, but whatever.

And how good does NHL 2004 sound? I made a thread about it yesterday in the Dungeon, but then it never showed up. I was truly pissed off.

I'm loving it. It sucks having to use the keyboard for it though. With the 2 button pass layout and the charge up hitting, the keyboard just doesn't work that well. I want to get a PS2 controller/PC converter.

The game feels a lot more like real hockey. I'm loving it. Much different feel than the last few NHL games. It will take a while to get used to for all of us who have played NHL 2002/03 to death.

I consider NHL 2004 to be the dawn of the new simulation gameplay. It's vastly improved over last year, but needs tweaking.

I'd give NHL 2003 a score of 8/10. NHL 2004 I'd give 9/10.

so far my first impressions have been great. The new developer of the game just needs to settle into yearly dev of the game and it should be by far the best hockey game by 2005/06.

Haven't played ESPN 2004 but from the reviews it sounds really good. If I had a PS2 or xbox then i'd give it a rent and make my decision from there.
