[edit] Previously unsectioned comments
Some of these reviews and specs on the old NHL Hockey games by EA Sports are great but they leave out important factors. NHL 95 has totally different gameplay, it doesn't feel like any of the other games earlier in the series. Also, NHL 95 on the SNES was the only version you could create and trade players, PC version aside.
Overall, I think NHL 94 on the Sega CD is the best version of NHL 94 and it's one of the best hockey games to date, I don't feel that new hockey games like NHL 2004 have the same gameplay. Too much flash and glamor, too many buttons you never use... Pass, check and shoot is all you really need in a hockey game.
I agree. This page is extremely vague when it comes to the older (and better) versions of the game. I think that some of the earlier games (especially NHL 94) should warrant its own page.4.172.153.142 23:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirection of NHL 2K6
When looking for NHL 2K6, this article on the EA Sports NHL series appears. However, NHL 2K6 is the first NHL game published under the 2K Sports banner, and should not redirect to EA's series. It should be redirected to another site related to the 2K series.
- Thanks. I've changed the redirect to point to 2K Games instead. Since there's only one game in that series so far (and no article on 2K Sports), that's probably the best place to point the redirect for the time being. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 03:22, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NHL Hockey 93 for the PC
Just thought I'd say this article doesn't mention NHL Hockey for the PC (1993). It had a full season , one timers, and player creation all before the consoles had it (I think). I believe it was developed separately from the console versions.

How come there is no mention of the tricks? That was an important part of the nhl franchise? Triple deke and wraparound!

Just removed this from the page - is there any real reason to keep it?

[edit] Disamb link at top
Wouldn't it be a good idea to put a link at the top of the page for people who ended up here when looking for the actual NHL. Several article titles, such as NHL 07, could just as well be about the real life hockey season, at least in the minds of people who aren't familiar with the video game market.... /85.194.44.18 20:50, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
The IP 67.184.55.169 changed Markus Naslund to "poo Naslund." Kal 22:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ha "poo Naslund" that's funny.
[edit] help
I have NHL 2005 for Gamecube and I knoew this is to change the page, but in he shootouts it makes you be the goalie for your team and I don't know how to make save. All I can do is try to get in the way of the puck. Does anyone here know how to? 70.100.165.76 01:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
What do the +/- numbers mean? Cubs Fan 16:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC) Plus or minus. If a player is on the ice and his team gets scored against, he gets a -. If he is on the ice and his team scores, he gets a +. The league average is around -1, and the leader is around +38. burgz (Talk) 08:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
