only 16 bit hockey game i had was nhlpa 93 for snes, was too easy once you could fake the goalie by doing successive wrap around shots. this thread has inspired me to pop in nhl 2002 on ps2, thank you.
I guess this was the first hockey game where they really smoothed up the gameplay...it was a huge step up from anything that had been out there before...
I'm sure there were more reasons, but i haven't played it in like 8 years.

the best hockey game was for nintendo...where you would just pick fat or skinny guys and skate around a 2-d rink

Haha Ice Hockey... that game was sick. So was Blades of Steel.
Actually, most every hockey game before 96 was great.
