The hockey sim that defined a generation

There have been other NHL games before this one came to be released, but, for me, the 2004 season was a very game changing one: the game finally managed to create an atmosphere that was really hockey like, both because the graphics had reached a point where they could really represent the game in all its glory, the gameplay was more streamlined, and the developer found it a good thing to put some really cool superfluous animations in there, of players brawling, being happy and so on. This in turn was based on a game that really flowed well: the speed and coordination of your teammates made it so that at any time you could launch an attack or actually steal the puck from your adversaries. This made the game much more dynamic and more on the edge of the knife in terms of how a game could turn out, which is what it should have been from the very beginning. Of course, not all was roses and honey in paradise, as the game managed to be quite broken at release, but today, if you source the later released patches, you can have a good time without a single worry in the world. So go ahead, install it and see how it captures you in an instant. For me this is the game that started it all up, that put hockey on the map as a PC game worth playing.

NHL 2004, developed by the EA Black Box studios, is an ice hockeyvideo game. It is the successor to NHL 2003. The game adds three European Elite Leagues: Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), Sweden's Elitserien (SEL), and Finland's SM-liiga.

Features[edit]

The game included many improvements to its gameplay (more realistic puck and rebound control and better checking) and game modes (a completely reworked franchise mode renamed 'Dynasty'). In addition to the gameplay improvements, one particular non-gameplay improvement was added. When a team wins the Stanley Cup Finals, a large-scale celebration ensues. It included players skating around the ice holding the Cup over their heads. This then led to the common snapshot of the team and the coaches that holds true in the NHL. A 'secret' song ('Shatterday' by Vendetta Red) plays while the animation shows the stats of the players in the picture, ending with the captain. Because of these additions, it was praised as one of the best games in the series to date.[1]
