Consider this a new beginning for the NHL hockey series. The venerable EA Sports franchise has practically been reborn after more than a decade of wowing shinny fans each autumn, with an all-new development team and a sharpened focus that brings realism to the fore. All the graphical glitz and "in the game" glam is still present in NHL 2004, although there is also a refreshing dedication to providing more than good-looking, rock-em-sock-em sound and fury.

The other major change to NHL 2004 is its revamped control system. One of the biggest complaints about the series has always been the helter skelter play. Players seemed to slide a little too much and pucks were often hard to corral. Much of this has been improved this year. Skates now seem to really dig into the ice and the puck has more than a passing acquaintance with friction. Also, just as with Madden NFL 2004, EA Sports is taking advantage of the right analog sticks on all console and some PC gamepads.
EA Sports has also loaded up NHL 2004 with lots of game options. League and dynasty play have been greatly improved. Around 40 teams have been added representing the European elite leagues in Sweden, Finland, and Germany, freshening things up for those a little tired of the NHL game. Dynasty mode has received a total facelift on par with that given the franchise mode in Madden NFL 2004, so running an NHL franchise has never been depicted so completely. It isn't perfect, largely due to players demanding absurdly high salaries at times, a preponderance of goofy trade offers from the computer, and a 20-year cap per career. But it's a lot better than anything that this series has presented before.
Last but not least, multiplayer modes haven't been forgotten - unless you're stuck on Xbox or GameCube, that is. PC and PS2 owners are pretty well set up with a variety of options that run the gamut from quick single-game matchups to fullblown tournaments. EA is running the same subscription angle with the EA Sports Online service for PC as it did last year, although you receive a card worth an entire season of free online play in each box. So online play with the official EA servers is essentially free of charge. You can still, of course, dodge the servers altogether on PC and link up directly with your friends and enemies.
Few new beginnings in games go as right as this one for NHL 2004. EA Sports made a brilliant decision to shake up the franchise last year and turn it over to a new design team with no vested interest in the mistakes of the past few seasons. This is almost certainly the best release in the history of the NHL series and one of the most authentic action-oriented sports games currently on the market.
