Description:The longestrunning hockey franchise in video games returns for a fourth appearance on PlayStation 2 with a more robust Dynasty Mode, redesigned color commentary, a new fighting system, and full support of the right analog stick for both deking and checking. Budding General Managers can help upgrade their team's rink, practice facilities, coaching staff, and front office with experience points earned by winning games. As players spend more and more points on upgrades, the team will gradually increase its attributes and will be more likely to attract other free agents and draft picks to the city.Another enhanced feature is the fighting engine, which is no longer a buttonmashing substitute for boxing. Players will be able to chain moves from a grappling position, offering more strategic possibilities during encounters instead of rewarding those with quick reflexes. The collisions that often lead to fights have also been juiced up with more dramatic camera angles and new motioncaptured animation. To help maintain its position as the bestselling hockey series, NHL 2004 fixes a number of presentation issues and promises a more realistic experience with computer players individually reacting to ingame situations rather than preset strategies. Players who grimaced at NHL 2003's humorous approach to color commentary will be pleased to hear that Don Taylor has been replaced with exNHL player Craig Simpson, who offers a more traditional take on analysis. In addition to all 30 NHL teams from the 20032004 season, NHL 2004 offers 20 national teams as well as an international league comprised of 39 teams from Germany, Sweden, and Finland. As with other EA SPORTS releases for 2003, players will be able to track personal ratings and unlock special features using saved games from each of the publisher's sports titles. Both the PlayStation 2 and PC versions of NHL 2004 have the added benefit of online play for headtohead competition along with chat support. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
