Forum Overview :: NHL '94 :: Recommend me a hockey game

[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]I haven't played one that I've enjoyed since NHL '98. NHL 99 and 2000 were very stupid and I hated them. I thought NHL Powerplay 96 was great and Powerplay 98 not too bad. I've actually been playing that Eastside Hockey Manager game whenever the mood has struck me, but now I'm psyched that the game is coming back and want something that uses a gamepad. Has there been a hockey game released in the last couple of years that is any good? I'm looking for a minimum of gay shit -- no "move" that always scores a goal, no invincible computer goalies... instead I'd like something bug-free with a decent career mode. I know that EA has been releasing a hockey game a year every year, but their shit is so unplayable that I haven't even bothered keeping up. I guess it's possible that they accidentally made something worthwhile. This game, if it even exists, can be for either the PC or the PS2. ICJ [/quote]
