Best ever EA Sports NHL game?

Makes me think of simple times of the past when you had no sliders to adjust. You bought the game popped it in and off you went.

I am sure whatever he has done to the game makes it super playable but for me I have played several versions of hockey games over the 20 plus years I have played hockey games that are above 23 as far as ranking the best ever. Such as someone mentioned Legacy. That was a fantastic game. I can not comment on NHL 20 as I do not recall would have to play it again. I just know 23 was not my cup of tea. But I am sure it is great for some people

Yes like NHL 94....loved that game and played it nonstop. But i played it just today for good ole time sake, and turned it off after 2 mins because it doesnt resemble NHL hockey whatsoever. Hahaha.

NHL 19 so far as been the latest I've been able to play a lot of. Yes slider adjustments needed, but 5 or 6min periods was nice to play and still get realistic shots on goal etc. Wasn't perfect, but best so far I've played. EA I think messed up Madden and NHL when they came up with this superstar ability stuff. In some ways it is good, but hurts the games in other ways.

Hey DarthRambo ! I bolded the parts from your quotes that are kinda confusing to me…. 5-6 minutes periods where you get realistic stats and realistic hockey simulation are very far one from another in my opinion 🤔 No ?

I never really understood why it is ok to control all the players in a fast sport like hockey anyway… But that’s for another topic. That being said Keirik, I have played/tested my Setup many times as the whole team and it still plays very well. On every Camera angles also. It plays like the real thing nonetheless 😀 If you are up for the challenge, play a game as the whole team with EA's roster and Sliders… Then try a game with my roster and my sliders and compare for yourself 😉

Im not knocking your sliders. I hope you aren’t thinking that. They improve the game. I just don’t think they’ve made NHL 23 into the best NHL of all time. It’s certainly improved the game though by a lot.

That’s not what I got from your reply Keirik, no worries 😉

What I got from your response is that I was under the impression that you thought, my setup was ONLY for Player Lock when it is not 😀 Anyone else got that perception ? I know I push the PL thing hard, but I didn’t think it pushed people away 🤔

Where I think for me where it’s the greatest NHL of all time, it’s in the Gameplay… Also it needs to be in conjunction with the Roster… Roster + Sliders = Hockey Heaven for me 😀 It’s with the roster tweaks, that we were able to make that jump in the higher game times with realistic stats and gameplay… This is also where I think it was never seen before in this series.

The games I've played the longest in a cycle are NHL14 and 23.
