Which game are you getting?

[Splitter77]

I`m going to get NHL 2004 for the PC, just because the fighting looks amazing. But , I figure I`ll spending most of my time playing Hitz Pro and ESPN Hockey.

ESPN Hockey is a for sure.
But I am intrigued with NHL2004. It sounds like EA's really putting in a good effort this year. And the dynasty mode sounds un-freakin-believable.
But I always got excited for EA's next hockey installment and I was almost always disappointed.
But I will rent it.
Rivals is definately going to get a shot too.

haha this is funny someone said nhl 2004 will be more realistic then nhl 2k4. take a look a ea's puck effects they are horrible. And why do you think ign rated nhl 2k3 best hockey sim. and in the newest ign article it says espn nhl 2004 will be this years best hockey sim and probally best hockey. im sorry i just get mad when people say ea is a hockey

on to games im goin to get: espn nhl 2004

rent: nhl rivals and nhl hits
which ever is better i will probally get. and ill probally get. and i might rent nhl 2004 just to see even more problems with it again and see the arcadish things in it again to at least prove that i am giveing ea a chance.

Definitely will pick up ESPN (can't wait). I'll rent NHL2004 probably, but unless they've made some MAJOR CHANGES (and it doesn't look like they threw out their past engine, or hired a new dev team), I doubt I'll buy it.
