Then again, it is a freebie of sorts (I doubt EA will have spent that much on the porting exercise) and bear in mind that pre-orders for EA games normally involve, well, a few HUT cards and maybe some coins. It would have been a nice gesture of goodwill, if nothing else, for a generation of NHLers that have (mostly) stuck with the franchise during its ups and downs.
#Nhl 94 rewind fighting ps2#
I made the mistake of booting up my PS2 yesterday to play it and is is dreadful.ĭue to the target audidence for Remind being (unfortunately) so small, I can understand why EA did not look to make some more extensive changes, such as adding a "play a season" option, but I agree that it does grate that there is no online play option, especially given what the world is looking like at the moment and the fact that EA damn well knows about the existence of. I would have bought (and did buy) NHL '21 anyway and pre-ordered it well before Rewind was announced, so I just saw this as a welcome bonus, especially given that it actually includes proper rosters (albeit crystallised a little too early for my liking) and the organ music, unlike the stripped-down version that featured on the PS2 version of NHL '06 (with its made-up rosters!). It sounds like I might be in the minority here (so please don't bite my head off!) but I am not too angry about the fact that it seems to be a straight port. Since they added more teams, they needed to add more logos, so I would be surprised if they didn't redo all the logos. If they took a ROM from here with internet-sourced pictures, they could have trouble on their hands if someone noticed they used pictures from ESPN or TSN etc.Īpparently they fixed only the weight bug. But I'm pretty sure they will have used their own pictures that they own. I only looked at 1 of the 2020 ROMs from here, and the pictures in their ROM are different. They made their own player ratings, which was mentioned in an article (Arda's, I think) So we know they didn't just steal a ROM and sell it.
If they put a controller selection screen in the game, that's significant work.įrom a Twitter video: They added an extra team, so there are 33 (31 + 2 all stars). We're not sure how they did that, if they actually changed the game, or the way it works is they added a custom front-end to the game that looks just like the normal game (which was my guess because the colours seemed slightly off). They added an exit menu in the game (something I couldn't do trivially, so they put some real work into it)įrom a Twitter video: They added a controller assignment screen to the menu, like in SNES. It's possible they used a ROM from here as a base, but they still did some real work on it. No we have seen and read in articles that they have made actual changes. When it comes out. do a pixel by pixel analysis of the logos and we'll find out whos rom EA "borrowed" from this site =P same f**kin thing we've been doing here for 20 years only on a modern console Im telling you, its just 94 with updated teams and rosters.
