    I wanted so desperately for this game to be good cause everything EA makes these days is absolute trash. And worse, there’s a huge void of midway and 2k style games of the late 90s and 2000s that were amazing. Unfortunately, though this game’s heart is in the right place, the controls are so screwed up, there’s no hybrid of retro-and-semi-pro to let you skate backwards but pass with B, theI wanted so desperately for this game to be good cause everything EA makes these days is absolute trash.

Unfortunately, though this game’s heart is in the right place, the controls are so screwed up, there’s no hybrid of retro-and-semi-pro to let you skate backwards but pass with B, the speed up function always loses control and it’s almost impossible to connect a hit. Good luck trying to get a one-timer or landing a perfectly timed crushing cross check into the boards. The pass almost never goes to the player you want especially if you’re in the zone. This game could so easily have been NHL 94/96 for PS4 but missed the fine tuning. Shame. It’s the game we need. Expand

    While there are some real qualities in OTH, the deficiencies in gameplay and relatively low replay value make it a hard sell even for the virtual hockey fan who is looking for a knock-down, drag-out, arcade hockey title.

    While unpolished, Old Time Hockey offers a lot for fans looking for an experience outside of NHL.

    Old Time Hockey is not a game we'd suggest for your own game library. The controls are cumbersome and the AI is not good enough. By the way, the OST is great.
