Summary
NHL 14 takes the ice in a new way, and it brings with it retro and new players alike with NHL 94 Mode. Even if the menus are slow and the AI is stupid, 14 is still a strong outing that any hardcore fan, as well as the retro and new, will gladly pick up and play.
We like
- NHL 94 coaxes new and retro players to the ice
- Live the Life digs deeper into player's lifestyle
- Fighting is a right, not a privilege
We dislike
- Slow menus bog down RPG-like experience
- AI is shallow and unsophisticated
- Collision Engine simplifies gameplay
