Dear colleagues.I have been playing and testing NHL 96/7/8 games with my friends for a long time.Despite their similarity, they have differences. Unlike NHL 96 and NHL 97/8 in goalkeepers, in NHL 97/8 they are more flexible, in the speed of the game NHL 97\8 is higher than in NHL 96. Fundamentally not playing NHL 98, but I could edit players as we see the players 'ratings are too high, and especially angered that grip players' sticks incorrectly spelled ( M. Lemieux S. Yzerman, E. Lindros, B. Hull, B. Shanahan and other stars - the grip sticks left, although they are the players right enough). In my opinion, this may not be an important factor for many hockey fans, but for true connoisseurs of hockey, it plays a big role. Colleagues, you are doing a great job to give games a second life by modifying games and programs. Thank you very much.
