NHL 96
NHL 96 was the first EA Sports game to feature Virtual Stadium technology, which provided a 3D feel and multiple camera angles. The NHL license ensures that real teams and players from the era are included, with a full league and playoff system. Many game options can be toggled - the infamous fights are optional, as are penalties and offsides. The control system allows one-touch passes and various special tricks to move the ball quickly. As a bonus, the CD includes "Hockey Card" profiles of each player and interviews with the stars of the game.
