NHL 14 Review
NHL 14 is a very, very iterative update to a stellar franchise. While this review sounds somewhat negative, it has to be said that the game as a whole still represents relatively good value to fans of hockey. It’s the only show in town for console players, and that’s not a bad thing given that there’s plenty of playing time to be had. It’s just that when your big bullet-points for a yearly update are “collisions are a bit better” and “fighting is a bit better” when there were some relatively large issues with the older version of the game – mainly off-the-ice – then you haven’t done enough as a developer. New players will love it, but players who love playing the single-player modes could probably skip this year without feeling too deprived.

For a casual fan, NHL 14 offers a good time in its main game modes and hours of additional fun with the NHL 94 anniversary modes. However fans of a realistic hockey experience might be a little let down by the big slide into arcade action and the main game modes offering little upgrade over last years version.
