Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - Oktoberfest Awards: Madden NFL Arcade The Worst of the Indie/Arcade Games

3 on 3 NHL Arcade was definitely the better game of the two downloadable titles EA put out this generation.

It was $5 cheaper than Madden NFL Arcade, plus the gameplay was much more enjoyable.

But when you look at the feature list for 3 on 3 NHL Arcade, it really was pathetic compared to other arcade games of the time.

Simple things like saving the user's preferred camera and control method don't work at all.

Then there's maybe 20 NHL players total to choose from, with no actual NHL teams -- just generic red sweaters vs. generic blue sweaters. Yet the first thing you see when you boot up the game is the NHL licensing screen with all 30 team logos.
