dr.robbie | 78 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hey guys. I've been getting the reoccurring itch to play some hockey video games lately. I get this every few years and always end up going back and playing something from the 90s or early 00s because it's honestly more fun to play with the players I grew up with than the newer players. Hoping to break this cycle and play something newer. Have been going through youtube reviews trying to find a game with specific qualities, but thought it might be quicker/easier to just ask here for at least a start. Here's what I'm looking for: -Something newer, but not current gen. PS3 or 360 would be ideal, but PS4 or Switch would also be fine. -Single player only. Don't really want to sink time into online play at all -Want the ability to play with current and past stars together. Whether it's unlocking legends or something available from the start, I want the ability to play with past stars and current stars together. You know, build your all-time dream team that could never realistically happen. -Decent gameplay. I know the games are almost always copy/paste each year, but some sort of decent gameplay. Thoughts? I feel like something like this has to exist by now, but I'm struggling to find it. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a PS4, I would be playing this near non-stop. Not sure if this is to your liking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA must've really hit a sweet spot with the 1994 releases (such as Madden '94)...I received MLBPA Baseball (has 1993 players/stats so it's '94 without the actual year in the title) from my dearly departed Uncle Jerry to go with my Mario All-Stars+World SNES I finally got for Christmas 1994...and it's about the most realistic looking/playing 16-bit baseball game you'll ever find. Yet hardly anyone even mentions it at all. And to think all along I thought it was just the nostalgia talking...

a3quit4s | 4,370 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 For some reason NHL 12 was always my favorite, it was like a good mix of semi realism and still fun to play. @Kguillemette makes a good point about NHL rewind. NHL Hitz is also a blast for an arcade game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmorgandrinker | 1,656 Administrator · Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Maybe NHL Legacy Edition for PS3/360 would fit the bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
