All of your favorite teams are back with their accompanying player rosters, but this year you can play an entire season. The game also has new schedules and complete player rosters. The goaltenders aren't the only changes that make the game more challenging this year. The computer is even harder to beat when playing by yourself using your favorite team. The computerized defense didn't just eat its Wheaties, the programmers at EA Sports improved on last year's game.
The one-timers are in, and the Iceman and I have to buy new controllers; our old ones are still smoking from working on this preview. The version of the classic carries on the tradition of kicking butt. The action moves too fast for most players, almost to the point of insanity. This year's version of the hockey favorite has a better overhead perspective and new check animations that really let you feel the action! Despite the icy surface, my brain is still burning after playing the hot Genesis version of NHL ' Now it's time to turn our attention to the SNES version though, and unfortunately for SNES owners - as has been the case throughout the length of the series - it still isn't on a par with its Genesis relative.
The game moves much faster on the SNES, which can be good or bad depending on your preference. I found that the action was so fast that I was missing body-checks and overskating the puck, but some players believe the speed makes the action even hotter.
From a control standpoint, the line change button is the Select button instead of one of the conveniently located L or R buttons. And despite the better sound capabilities of the SNES, the sound effects are weaker than on the Genesis version. Player trades are often more difficult to execute on the SNES version since you are subjected to the strict requirements of an arbitrator.
If one team benefits by more than a few player rating points from a trade then the trade will not be allowed; yet in the Genesis version you can go ahead and execute the trade regardless of the arbitrator's decision.
If you're a SNES owner anxious to get your hands on a great hockey game, then the seasonal play and trading options make NHL '95 the best yet. But, on the other hand, if you're planning on buying based on what you've seen the Genesis version do, then you might be a bit disappointed. In the long line of EA Sports hockey titles. NHL Hockey '95 is by far the best! A ton of new moves and features back up the smoothest, most entertaining hockey title ever created.
To be the best, you gotta have a few things the competition doesn't. Among NHL '95's new features is the ability to sign, release, or trade any of the 6 K real NHL players before playing a regular game, an All-Star-type shootout, or the playoffs. You can even create your own fantasy players or hit the ice with established stars like Gretzky and Hull and test them in a Practice Mode to fine-tune your skills.
Watch your team's calendar, and you just might win yourself a Cup! Always check your Hot and Cold players before every game. Using this knowledge when editing your lines can have a major impact on the game. These are the best hockey graphics you'll see this year. Realism is the name of the game, and NHL '95 has it. Clear sprites with smooth, fast movements generate the most intense hockey action ever created.
Although the blood and fighting are gone. EA's come up with some cool new injury' animations that compensate for their absence. Watch those limbs get broken backwards after a violent collision -- you'll understand why your player is gonna be out for awhile.
The most significant change for '95 is the unbelievably blazing speed of the game. It rockets along, thanks to quick, efficient controls. New offensive moves include fake shots, drop passes, and more effective one-timers. On defense, you can crosscheck your man into the penalty box and benches, drop down to block a shot, and control your goalie's every movement, all with instant responses to your button presses.
The sound adds to the perfection. That unforgettable organ music, the supportive crowd, and every moan and groan are more realistic than ever. With a game this complete, who cares if the NHL players go on strike! Browse games Game Portals. The computer won't return outrageous results like these for simulated games, but it won't return statistically accurate results either.
I could spend most of the review trying to let EA Sports know what they should do to improve the game. And they should improve it. But the bottom line is this: I have not owned a game in years which I have played as consistently and for as long as this game. Yes, the game play is arcadish, but that means that it is fun, fast, and exciting.
It captures the feel of hockey without bogging the player down in unnecessary details and decisions. If you want a statistically-accurate hockey simulation, then it's not the game for you. If you want a hell of a fun and challenging game Screenshots from MobyGames. Jlnhlfan 0 point DOS version.
