Is NHL 2004 still worth playing in 2026?

A notch above its EA Sports siblings of the era, NHL 2004 offers more precise controls and a fleshed-out dynasty mode that gave it real substance back then. The hockey is fluid and readable, but the yearly formula has inevitably overtaken it, and its frozen roster now holds only historical interest. Local multiplayer stays enjoyable for a few brisk matches among friends. Honest yet unremarkable today, it will mainly appeal to those nostalgic for early-2000s NHL hockey on console.
