On my machine even in Low-Res mode, the game can at times run like a dog (usually when overlapping with sound).
There is however a problem with the new grpahics, the engine is a complete resource hog. The SVGA Graphics in High-Res mode are absolutely stunning and even in Low-Res mode they are quite incredible. It appears that they used NBA Live '95 as their model when remodelling the graphics engine. The makers of the game have decided to totally recreate the graphics engine for the new PC version. In the new version however, the 3/4 view has given way to an assortment of camera angles and the sad part is, none of these offer the same quality as old view. All three had the 3/4 view of the game which made for an interesting and exciting perspective. The first two versions of NHL Hockey for the PC, has similar graphics to the Genesis and Super Nintendo versions of the game. The NHL Hockey series of games from Electronic Arts we spawned by the overwhelming success of the earlier Sega Genesis versions of the game.
After seeing what I have to say about it, you may think otherwise, but I can assure you, this game is quite fun even with all its little quirks and flaws that I will point out over then next few sections.
Let me begin this review of NHL '96 by saying that I do truly enjoy this game.
