1991
I bought TV Sports Hockey back when it was originally released, and I liked it at first. But then I had the chance to play NHL Hockey for Genesis, which seemed so much more realistic and impressive. At this point, the only things I like about TVSH are the close-up graphics and the title-screen music. Let's cover a few of the primary problems:
-The passing game is unforgivably sloppy. You have to aim in the general direction you want to send the pass and pray that the puck goes tape to tape.
-The passing game is unforgivably sloppy. You have to aim in the general direction you want to send the pass and pray that the puck goes tape to tape.
-You must abide by a ridiculous, old-fashioned "moving arrow" system when determining the direction of your shot.
-The action is very slow on the whole.
-The option to compete against another player is practically worthless because a team with a very fast line can easily outskate the competition and create countless breakaway opportunities.
-The game simply doesn't simulate real hockey (as far as player positioning, on-ice action, etc.) nearly as well as NHL.
