Hockey Prompt

I believe that the only hockey related item that I own is a copy of NHL 14 on the PS3. It could become a collectible I guess, in fact it probably should. NHL 14 was pretty much the last great hockey game, released just before EA decided to make all sports games on a game engine that refuses to recognise the existence of physics.

Is it perfect? Hell no. The players are a bit dumb at times and your Be a Pro career feels like you spend forever simming between shifts. But the collisions are perfect. Violent and physical, its a lovely representation of the game of hockey and is super fun to play.

In fact, NHL 14 was the video game that got me into hockey in the first place. It is the last proper hockey game from a golden era of sports video games that has been taken over by awful microtransaction mechanics. I will be playing it for a long time.
