NHL Street

[triplexpac]

I've been playing some NFL Street 2 lately, and I've been wondering... why hasn't EA made an NHL Street?

I know Midway made an arcadey Hockey game, but it wasn't all that great. I want a game where you're playing road hockey with NHL guys. You could even put them on rollerblades... I remember this SNES game where you played on a rooftop with rollerblades, it was actually pretty fun. It gave it a different feel than a standard Hockey game.

So... do you think NHL Street would work? I know that hockey games aren't big sellers like football games are, but EA would probably just scale back the production values to compensate, like they do with the NHL series *grumble*

I think it's a great idea, you can still do all the tricky moves... and even the wall moves to a certain extent with road hockey. It's definatly a better idea than FIFA Street.

I think if they could really focus on NHL Hitz then it'd be sucessful becuase that game was great for some fun.

A sweet street hockey game would be nice, some wicked dekes, some off the wall (possibly literally) moves... if you market it right and it doesn't play like shit, it'll sell like hotcakes. I'd buy it, but probably return it if it plays like shit.

Football is played on the ground. NHL hockey is played on ice. While I'm not saying that an NHL Street game would be a bad idea (I've personally thought about it before, it'd be great with the dekes and checking), football is way more logical a choice.

It could easily be turned into the street hockey that me and the guys play on foot and\or rollerblades though.

Drags is right, FIFA Street is much more logical than NHL Street.

I'd love to play an NHL Street game, it could work.

I was referring to the fact that FIFA Street sucked.

I'm not having this argument again. Besides, you weren't on about the gameplay, you said the idea.

I think everyone needs to look to NHL Hitz series, they have people playing on roller blades. It can work, but EA Big will just have to try and make it as much like NHL Hitz as possible for it too work.

Actually, EA already made an "NHL Street" type of game for the PS1. Rock the Rink. It has all the special shots and it even has a "Gamebreaker" type thing, where after you get the meter up, for a limited time, all of your players are faster, hit harder, shoot better etc. etc. It's a pretty fun game.

The only thing though, is that you don't start off with licenced teams, you have to unlock them (or use a cheat and get them ).

[Cole]

YES! ROCK THE RINK! I FUCKING FORGOT ABOUT THAT GAME! I USED TO LOVE THAT!

I think that now it wouldn't impress me as much though, although with some new features...it just might.

I own it and played it not too long ago. It was good with a friend.. but was just meh in the end.
