Can we get a 'fun' hockey game again from someone?

3v3 was the default team size in Gretzky but if you went into the options you could play 4v4 or 5v5 and adjust the rink size to accommodate the extra player load.

Love NHL Hitz Pro, I still bust it out every now and then.

Oh, and it's one of the few games with the Islanders fish stick jerseys! Gotta love that!

Arcade hockey games with enough sim components to keep them grounded are my favorite. On my PS1 it was NHL 98 (had so much fun with this), PS2 it was NHL Hitz Pro (GOAT), and now I play NHL 2K10 (is fun, but lacks a little something). Still waiting for that resurrection of the arcade style "sim" game.
