 EA 
Sports' fabled NHL series holds a special place in the hearts of gamers 
everywhere. But it's traditionally been less of a simulation and more of an 
arcade action game. Since it's debut in 1994, EA Sports has continued to tweak 
and refine their arcade hockey style, delighting casual fans over the years, but 
disappointing true fans of the sport. "It's too fast!" they've cried. "It 
doesn't play like hockey!" They were right. |
