This was my first NHL game and wow. The intro was the best for sure. Wished EA Sports would go back to what made them so wonderful. They need to go back to these intro's and music. This game will always be stuck in my mind for playing tons of hours against my brother.
This is the only game that i have ever let the intro fully run before playing everytime, AWESOME! anybody who doesnt love hockey will after watching this. They should re-release this game.
Yeah, this is still the best NHL game intro ever. They need to step it back up like this, since we have the ability for higher quality video and such.
@f1fan17 I asked the ea-nhl team. those guys didn't have a clue where the music of the NHL98 intro comes from. apparently, it is an EA-own production...
bring that dark noire mood back into menu for NHL!!! we need more hard-rock soundtracks!!! where the fuck is NHL for PCs, where the fuck are youuuuuu !?!?
best intro to any sports game ever made, I agree with TAG037, they need real highlights or even half and half, like turn the real highlights into video game style highlights, would be a neat graphic to play with. either way, they had it going with intros like these. Tiger still uses real highlights, so it shouldn't be a legal thing...
@hockeyman92 Okey. Tell me what you want written on a note and I put it right next to the CD or ON it, your choice. Then I'll take a picture and send it to you. Sounds fair?
@CHIPHXMAN Same and madden 99 was my first madden game...also kinda funny the 3 players you can clearly make out 12-13 years later are still in the league playing good (Jason Arnott, Chris Pronger, Martin Broduer)
@GeTTwiSTeD41 I know its so awesome. I'm a Blackhawks fan but I gotta give it up to Broduer scoring the goal, that was sweet. And mass respect for Arnott and Pronger. I love hockey.
I am Czech and I can hear AUTHORITY! It's absolutely clear! :D mbd303030 explains it very well! It makes sense. I confess I've heard "are you willing to dominate your body" but maybe you're true in this. ;) Nevertheless, AUTHORITIES are simply clear as a Sun. ;)
attention all dumbasses saying that he says "got a problem with the body"...
1. that does not make sense in ANY context
2. why would he say are you willing to donate your body AND got a problem with the body?
3. the fact that arny is slamming the door to the sin bin implies that hes pissed at the ref, meaning he has a problem with authority
4. if you listen to the way he says "body" when he says "are you willing to donate your body", it sounds different then when he says got a problem with_____"
zoogarten: go wash your ears man or learn some english please. "I'm not even a native English speaker and I hear it clearly." Haha :D You just made yourself stupid
got a problem with the body actually does not make sense but also it does not sound like authority either listen closely and you may hear "got a problem with a bully" which would make sense as hes going into the penalty box.
at 1:27 this video officially sucks. yes 15 years later and i'm still bitter.
