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

    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?

      So this is it, huh folks? Instead of fixing Be a GM, and doing something about the ridiculous, Looney Tunes-style hits, we're going to have a bunch of stuff from 20 year old game that I can play on an emulator? This is what we're excited for?

      It should be noted that NHL '06, which was the last real game of the PS2 generation (NHL '07 very much doesn't count), did the same crap. And by the way, that game was awful.

          Well I am glad they spent their limited time/budget on another gimmick.

            I just recently got into hockey and hockey games 3 years ago. What was so special about NHL 94? Is it just a 20 year anniversary thing?

              Who cares! Just make the presentation better and stop with this flashback stuff that people will spend like 10 minutes playing and never play again.

                That picture of Kane is sweet. Those celebrations are classic. I am in no way shocked this is going into the game though. 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.

                  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.

                      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.
                      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.
