EA Sports Teases Blue Ice in NHL 14 - NHL 94 News Coming Tomorrow?

12:56 PM - July 10, 2013 by murph17

EA Sports has posted a teaser image from NHL 14 with blue ice. More details will be revealed tomorrow.

With the combination of the blue ice, font used in the image and NHL 14 being the 20th anniversary of NHL 94, one would assume we will hear about how EA Sports will implement NHL 94 into this years game.

UPDATE: They just added a celebration image, similar to those seen in NHL 94.

What are you hoping for?

NHL.com made a huge deal about the anniversary back in February or whenever it was when they interviewed a bunch of players. I'll tell ya what though, if this wasn't the last version of the current gen cycle I'd be pretty pissed they weren't working on other things. At this point in time I know that nothing can really be changed to make this game truly better so it is what it is. If this NHL 94 thing is cool I may actually consider buying the game.

Me too.
If it had Ron Barr, it'd be a 100% purchase!

NHL 94 was the first EA hockey game to have one timer shots and to include the full NHL + NHLPA licenses.

Not many games back then were fully licensed, so that was a big deal.

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

I skipped EA's after 2002 and only went back in 2007 (played 2K NHL)....so this is NOT new.....rehashing old gimmicks....TYPICAL EA.....add then remove then add and call it NEW.

I 101% agree with you!

Because NHL 14 is not much of an improvement from past versions, so EA came up with an "old" idea to entice grown ups who used to enjoy this game.
