NHL 11, was the absolute best chel... For the fluidity with the puck, and customized (mashed-up) celebrations, introduction to the realtime physics engine and HUT... I feel like you could be really creative in the game both before Gino'ing and after Gino'ing... Great list though man, and great vids (I laughed hard on the NHL 17 gameplay vid) ! Cheers man
NHL 96 was one of these, so i would have mentioned it on "plus"-category. The jump from that classic camera angle and basic graphics to one on NHL96. Plus the sounds, menu and the new intro was mind blowing at the time.
While I agree with you about the NHL games on the wii. When I was younger I did purchase one NHL game on wii and the presentation was unprecedented. The game featured every outdoor stadium played at in real life up to that point. It also included the feature of choosing which stadium you play at for each game even if it's not the home arena. With small features like this, even if the gameplay sucks.. it makes it far more interactive.
Nhl 2004 was ahead of it's time..when I play it now on my Xbox I'm astonished at how good it actually is(the soundtrack) to name one of the many things.
I also think that the skating physics change in NHL13 was pretty pioneering, and the graphics changes of NHL15 to some point should be taken into consideration, but i fully agree with your list, i would've just switched 07 with 09.
NHL Hitz had Stanley Cup celebrations in 2002, so NHL 04 wasn't the first game to have them. Also, NHL Hitz 2003 was the first sports game where you could change how many games there were in a season.
My all time favorite NHL game has been NHL 2K8 and then NHL 11. I played NHL 2K8 to 2011 and then bought NHL 11 and played that game to 2016. (Yes i did buy all NHL games between years of 2007-2016, but played them only couple time) I liked most in the NHL 2K8 that you could choose many teams what you play in Franchise mode..
You have a decent list here. NHL 94 was before my time by about a decade, but I picked it up with a Sega Genesis to see what it was like. It's actually really fun to play and I use it for when my friends want to get into hockey video games. It's shown them how hockey is played with simple controls to work with. I also love NHL 2004. I had that game on the PS2 when I was a kid and I still play it on occasion to this day. Almost everything was top notch for its time. NHL 2K6 was also a decent game, but I've always loved ESPN NHL 2K5 more. I think NHL 2K9 and 2K10 were the best after 2K5. NHL 07 was a game I actually was pretty frustrated with for some reason. Maybe it was the PS2 version, but I never really liked it. Although I should point out that NHL 06 was the 1st game to introduce the skill stick. However it was only used to control moves that were already programmed in the game, so you couldn't manually deke. NHL 06 was always my all-time favorite sports game and I liked way better than NHL 07. I also LOVE NHL 09 on PS3. I still have the game and I love its gameplay, the pre-game intros, and I also love the soundtrack (for the most part). Although if I had to say which NHL games are my favorites, I would have to say NHL 06, NHL 09, NHL 14, ESPN NHL 2K5, and NHL 2K10.
Scoring prior to NHL '94 was super easy, I remember having games of NHLPA '93 where the scores were like 95 to 78. One-timer is obviously a huge development but it certainly didn't make the games higher scoring relative to earlier versions. An yeah, what's up with no Hitz love?
nhl 94, nhl 04,nhl 07,nhl 14. 14 cus it felt like a "best of" game from nhls xbox 360/ps3 gen. it had all the features mentioned in the video but is prob the most polished nhl game to date.
I don't know...I love playing NHL games but I always have a feeling that the final score not exactly depends only on me. You can have 50 shots on goal and can't score and then the AI goes out with a counterattack and they score 2 times in a row. Not really encouraging.
Can anyone that played NHL games tell me I can specifically remember an ice hockey game that I used to play at a neighbours house on his Xbox where like if you picked (sorry but I don't really know NHL) the knights team you would come out with like a knights head on like it was the mascots playing the games and if you picked say the sharks you'd come out with a shark head on, I specifically remember this game but I don't remember the name of it like you'd play the entire match with whatever team you picked mascots head on, I neeeeedddd to know it's bugging the hell out of me
NHL hits 2002 was the best hockey game ever made
NHL 2004 will forever be my favorite
I came for NHL Hitz :(
Yeah dude I was waiting for Hitz to be #1 as I spent many hours playing hitz03
damn you got me so hyped when you had NHL HITZ 2002 on and the thumbnail
Same
Hypetrain to nowhere :/ I was kinda expecting NHL 2002 be part of this. It kinda changed how celebrations works now
NHL 11, was the absolute best chel... For the fluidity with the puck, and customized (mashed-up) celebrations, introduction to the realtime physics engine and HUT... I feel like you could be really creative in the game both before Gino'ing and after Gino'ing...
Great list though man, and great vids (I laughed hard on the NHL 17 gameplay vid) !
Cheers man
glad to see 07 getting some respect. It raised the bar for the rest of chel games afterwards
I think NHL '98 should have been included. The transition for 97 to 98 was tremendous.
My top 5 hockey games:
NHL 94, Hitz 2002, ESPN 2k5, NHL 04, NHL 11.
The music in NHL 12 is epic
I still play NHL 2004.. with the rebuilt roster mods and such its really fun :)
Wait, why is the tumbnail NHL Hitz?
Because its a badass game
+Adam3.0 should of been on list man
*should've = should + have*
OneManArmy do i love playing that game
I love boobs ilovegirls you need to move on from the thrashers
Damn that kazoo kid part was the best 😂
NHL 96 was one of these, so i would have mentioned it on "plus"-category. The jump from that classic camera angle and basic graphics to one on NHL96. Plus the sounds, menu and the new intro was mind blowing at the time.

I was stuck playing NHL wii games for a year. It just makes me appreciate my PS4 even more
i still have a soft spot for the OG nintendo ice hockey. two skinny guys and a fat guy made you the best team possible.
NHL 97 for PC was where it all started. It was groundbreaking for it's time.
98 was a lot better. But I understand your point
What's the song you used when you did the part where you said "I love to play NHL video games on wii"
Nhl 2004 was ahead of it's time..when I play it now on my Xbox I'm astonished at how good it actually is(the soundtrack) to name one of the many things.
Wasn't it NHL09 which had Skill Stick on defence first time? :D
I believe so!
My favorite NHL game is NHL 2004 :D
yeah NHL 07 was my favorite too! :D
NHL 11 is my fav game
What's the name of the song at 0:36?
The best NHL game is NHL 15 said no one ever
are u from Finland? I was just wondering why u play with a finnish team there in the beginning.
My mom is from Finland, been there a couple times and had an uncle who played for Jyvaskyla!
Nice Adam!
Love the videos! Just subbed. Keep up the good work! You're funny and make interesting videos!
Thanks man!
what is the NHL game that the celebration in the thumbnail is from?
nice vid man NHL 94 was a classic
I also think that the skating physics change in NHL13 was pretty pioneering, and the graphics changes of NHL15 to some point should be taken into consideration, but i fully agree with your list, i would've just switched 07 with 09.
Followed you on Twitter! Great content and keep it up!
Thanks Tom from myspace
dood how is nhl 11 not on this list um HUT was introduced wow
The NHL Faceoff games made by 989 Sports were really cool.
whats the song in the background?
NHL Hitz had Stanley Cup celebrations in 2002, so NHL 04 wasn't the first game to have them. Also, NHL Hitz 2003 was the first sports game where you could change how many games there were in a season.
Whats the musuc of the Backgrounds
08 and 09 were some of my favorites to play, they were so fast paced and overall just fun! I'm hoping 17 brings more fun than 16 did for me haha
My all time favorite NHL game has been NHL 2K8 and then NHL 11. I played NHL 2K8 to 2011 and then bought NHL 11 and played that game to 2016.

love ur vids
Thanks dude!
+Adam3.0 are you going to do gameplay series at some point or just lists?
Me to
I'm going to do more gameplay videos once newer games come out. I just don't want to make any gameplay for a game thats already dead
So I watch this because of the cover picture of the video showing a player struck by lightning. From which hockey video game is it? Help me please!
No Mutant League?
i like ps3 nhl 14 and 13 also i havent played 17 lol

It was really fun to see the gameplay about finnish elite league teams, because im finnish so 😄💪
I'm Finnish as well! Jyvaskyla is my Liiga team!
Adam3.0 Cool! My hometown team is SaiPa Lappeenranta. Jyp Jyväskylä and SaiPa has some history in the playoffs, so it is good rivarly between them. 😄
Nice video bro!
Thanks bro!
Carrots everywhere.
NHL Facoff 98 had goalie control. You had to press R2 to make a right pad save R1 for a glove save. That is way back for "advance" goalie control.
Hey what's your outro song?
Deaf Kev- Invincible
+Adam3.0 Thanks, and nice video!
what do you use to edit
Final Cut
04 is still my favorite nhl game.
So why is NHL Hitz the thumbnail but not in the list
NHL 10 they added fighting sobi think thats pretty important
Scoring prior to NHL '94 was super easy, I remember having games of NHLPA '93 where the scores were like 95 to 78. One-timer is obviously a huge development but it certainly didn't make the games higher scoring relative to earlier versions. An yeah, what's up with no Hitz love?
No way NHL 15 or 16 is gonna be on there
Blades of Steel & Mutant League Hockey. They Don't have to be on the list, I just like those games.
Never heard of them, I'll have to look em up
nhl 94, nhl 04,nhl 07,nhl 14. 14 cus it felt like a "best of" game from nhls xbox 360/ps3 gen. it had all the features mentioned in the video but is prob the most polished nhl game to date.
im 39 seconds in, that first clip is hilarious.
Missing Hitz for sure but holyshit! I forgot about 2004 with the office upgrades! My GM office was sick
for real man! NHL Hitz 2002!
SLAPSHOT and 2K 11 were my favorites
Let me guess ... Wii
another great video!
What's the song
Subbed just for the wii diss.
Wayne Gretzkys 3D hockey is the best for me.
NHL 09 also introduced Be A Pro!
Plex Winger and imo it has the best soundtrack to date for a NHL hockey game.
But, you could drive the Zamboni in 2k9 on WII.
I don't know...I love playing NHL games but I always have a feeling that the final score not exactly depends only on me. You can have 50 shots on goal and can't score and then the AI goes out with a counterattack and they score 2 times in a row. Not really encouraging.
The skill stick was first on nhl 06 on gamecube
in o4 you can use the yellow C button on a gamecube controler to deke
Can anyone that played NHL games tell me I can specifically remember an ice hockey game that I used to play at a neighbours house on his Xbox where like if you picked (sorry but I don't really know NHL) the knights team you would come out with like a knights head on like it was the mascots playing the games and if you picked say the sharks you'd come out with a shark head on, I specifically remember this game but I don't remember the name of it like you'd play the entire match with whatever team you picked mascots head on, I neeeeedddd to know it's bugging the hell out of me
NHL Hitz 20-02. I think you could do it in 20-03 as well, but it's definitely the Hitz series where you could do this.
1. nhl08 or 09 on pc (1 vs 1 online first time!) 2. Nhl 2003 3. nhl 2004 4. nhl 14 5. nhl 06 + bonus Patrick Kane arcade hockey for smarphones.
NHL 99 on pc and n64 started it all for me
Top ten nhl changes
Favorite channel
I'd put NHL 15 as #5. Not a great game, but certainly influential as it started the next generation era of hockey.
Damn what about ICE HOCKEY for the nes? It was pretty fast paced
NHL 99 simply because of the sheer number of hours I poured into it.
nhl 2004 is the 1st nhl game I ever played
So glad I have a GameCube, I play NHL hits all the time. His guy shuldnhave made it number one but it's not even on the list.
i have nhl slapshot that game was memories
Bogus list if there is no mention of Blades of Steel, the classic and best hockey game ever. (Yes, I'm old)
That or the NHL gretzky on N64
best part of the vid 0:30
The best fighting nhl game
my fav are : nhl 18 , nhl 17 , nhl 16 , nhl 15 (old gen) , nhl 12 , nhl 06 , nhl 05
What about NHL Hitz?
0:26 lol
NHL 13 added the cuts and more realistic skating. Just my opinion though!
You forgot Midway boy ...they were lit
Cool vid
NHL 09 on PC is great
NHL Hits still the best hockey game ever!
they need to go back to the nhl hitz formula
why do you play always against jyp why?
I think you forgotten about team creator
NHL Hitz, NHL 2002,2003, NHL 2K5
Yea, and NHL Hitz as well....
Is it weird that I've lived in Texas my whole life and I'm a super die hard hockey fan
NHL 14 I miss it
The original Gretzky on n64 is better than anything ea or 2k did. Also NHL 96 on pc and NHL 99 on n64 were awesome for the time.
You Missed NHL15🙂
That game was the biggest downgrade I've ever scene so let's give it a thumbs up 👍🏻
