Is NHL 98 still worth playing in 2026?

Hockey from EA Sports, NHL 98 refines the previous formula with updated rosters, an enriched presentation and gameplay adjustments that consolidate the series' excellence. The speed of the action, the clarity and the balance between arcade and simulation stay a model of the genre on the console. The snappy fun of the two player versus stays intact, backed by a polished 32 bit production. The technical ageing naturally shows. For a fan of retro hockey or of the NHL series, the title keeps a preserved effectiveness, fluidity and playability.
