NHL 2004

NHL 2004 is a classic hockey game that stands out in the series for its depth and improved gameplay. This installment was the first to introduce the “Dynasty Mode,” a comprehensive franchise mode that allows players to manage all aspects of their team over multiple seasons, from scouting and drafting to contracts and team morale. On the ice, the game featured refined checking controls and a new “C-button” system for more dynamic dekes and shots. With its fast-paced action and a deep, rewarding management mode, NHL 2004 is a beloved entry that brought a new level of realism and strategy to the hockey simulation genre.
