I folded hard and pre ordered 27 simply due to the atmosphere updates and broadcast updates. I play offline strictly and I'm a sucker for the immersion lol I'd love to play gm connected but live in aus so I'll pass on that. I'm also like 1500 hours deep and 20 game years in on my nhl 25 franchise so I might finish this last season then Sim it done. It's been a ride. Can't wait to learn they still haven't fixed simple things like line changes in 27

Been playing NHL Hitz Pro for the last week and have never had more fun. Good gameplay, fun and arcadey. Fun cartoony graphics and great franchise mode and season mode.

In my opinion it's the second greatest NHL game, after NHL 2K10

We are proud to introduce the EA SPORTS NHL 99 Club, with Connor McDavid as its first-ever member.

I have a lot of fond memories playing this era of games for the PC and playing online, but I was pretty young at the time and wanted to hear or see another perspective on it if it exists out there.

NHL 2003 wasn’t a great game IMO but it was the first one with a full matchmaking lobby for online play (PC only, consoles had to wait until 2004). They had a game mode called EA Elite which was similar to HUT but very broken. I think NHL 2004 shipped with this game mode but they ended up removing it, if I remember correctly. You could get three months of NHL 2003 online play for free, after that it was $11 a month.

I can find a video of someone playing NHL Hitz Pro online on YouTube but strangely no EA online games, except for NHL 2004 leagues that exist today with the 04rebuilt. I really wish I’d screengrabbed my old gameplay because it would be fascinating to watch back.

This game is an absolute addiction. The anger i get from the bs that happens in this game make me delete it and I can’t for the life of me stop re downloading it thinking well i have nothing else to play and maybe it’ll be better this time. ITS NEVER BETTER THE NEXT TIME. honestly if there was a way to permanently remove it from my account I would. That’s my rant. F this game it’s just awful and pay to win. Bad servers bad matchmaking and bad glitchy bs and getting hit feels like im a feather that got hit by a bowling ball. I used to love this game to death now it makes me yearn for death.

In NHL 24 I’m a pretty decent player usually high 900’s and in 60% face-offs for my career. Every once in a while I play someone and don’t win a single face off no matter what I try. What gives? I can’t push them off the puck, forehand, backhand nothing. Got any tips when I come across this?

I have been subscribed to EA play for years and have always been interested in this series but Faceoff is really hard. I watched many YouTube videos and still can't get it right. Please help me someone.

Im playing hybrid control btw
