This league uses the original NHL '94 ROM. NHL '95 features all of the players from the 1993-94 season (Rangers win the Stanley Cup), slick new presentation, improved computer opponents, and (thankfully) no major changes in game play.I say thankfully because what made the original NHL Hockey such a delight to play (I was still playing it when the new version arrived) was a simple interface that captured the overall feel of the game of hockey, though it may not have captured every single nuance. The best players make pin-point passes to breaking teammates without even realizing consciously that they saw them! Don't even get me started about goalies who catch and stop pucks traveling at over 100mph while huge guys skate around in front of them, trying to disrupt their vision and concentration!.But it's not just me. Even without the comparison, however, it's a makeshift job at best.Unfortunately, it's not a terribly well-executed makeshift job. Trust me, even though you don't specifically tell the computer to feather a pass or shoot for the top shelf, you will feel enormous satisfaction when Craig Janney passes to Brett Hull who "one-times" it home for the go-ahead goal!One reason the game works so successfully is that the rating system for the players generally captures the feel of each player. And the same is true here. The computer automatically shifts lines to fill in for the injured player, but doesn't re-insert that player when they become available. In my league, Sergei Makarov leads the league with 70 goals in 60 games, Pat LaFontaine has taken over 600 shots, and Arturs Irbe has a GAA of 1.15! You have to find open ice, get the puck off in the direction of a teammate before that big nasty defenseman levels you, or fire the "one-timer" as soon as you get the puck.
There are no reviews yet. They've added some nice touches on the "scoreboard" and in the musical track (including "Rock n Roll, Part 1") which really add to the feeling of being at the game. NHL 95 (also known as NHL Hockey 95) is an ice hockey video game developed by Electronic Arts Canada. You will have no idea how Curtis Joseph got across the net so fast.

You will watch Pavel Bure skate right past unless you pick the correct angle. Hockey combines grace, speed, and violence (I'm not talking about fisticuffs here...but about the bone-crunching checks) into a single sport. NHL '95. There Is No Preview Available For This Item The actual game graphics haven't changed at all. NHL '95 is a Sports video game published by EA Sports released on November 1, 1994 for the Super Nintendo. This item does not appear to have any files that can be experienced on Archive.org. NHL 95/Rosters < NHL 95. The computer controls your teammates (you are always in control of the player who has the puck), the goalies, the speed and angle of the shot or pass and virtually every other aspect of play, except line changes.That may make it sound like you don't get to do much of anything but the problem lies with the game of hockey itself...it is terrifically difficult to simulate. It's not that Donald Audette isn't a threat...it's just that Alexander Mogilny is much more of a threat.The game features a much more slick interface as well. Effectively, you have only the following options as the player: skate, shoot, pass. On the other hand, if you eschew those strategies, the computer opponents can give you a pretty good game, though over time they stand little chance of beating you...even when you play Ottawa and the computer plays Detroit.There are niggling problems in game play as well.
