Looks like an NHL 94 celebration.

I with you on this. Disappointed if it's NHL 14 with blue ice, classic controls, etc.

Just give me NHL 94 with H2H online play. 2014 rosters, and 1994 rosters (no names due to licensing). Heck, release it as an arcade game and hit me up for another $10. I'll buy it and won't complain.

I'm all for taking us back to the old days so I hope it's not just arena but sounds as well. They do look pretty funky doing the old celebration though haha!!

I'd settle for just making relocation a possibility and have a DLC pack of the old stadiums (Chicago Stadium being at the top of my list.) I hope it's better than what Tiburon did with Madden. I think I played it twice and never gave it a thought after that.

With the fake/supposed fan vote's final two, it's obvious that the main gameplay focus is going to be on Goalies. The cover athletes always give away where the developers have focused their time. The most glaring example of this being the Hit Stick coming to Madden when Ray Lewis was on the cover.

I believe the PS2 version of NHL06 had a playable version of NHL94.
It was actually pretty disappointing, lots of licensing limitations (no real names, Hartford wasn't included), and it wasn't a very good emulation, someone like myself who still plays a lot of genesis hockey couldn't adjust to the subtle timing/control differences.

Hopefully they do something different from 06 and give some interesting content to an old 94 fan like myself.

Could care less.. how about that time going into BeGM, presentation, AI, etc..

Are people really going to play NHL 94 besides a game or two?
