A nice improvement.
This is much better than the ... '96. There are many improivements to the gameplay, as it plays just as well as '95. The graphics are great for Genesis, but are not as good when compared with the 32X, Saturn, Playstaion, and N64 stuff coming out these days. Solid, but not all it could have been.

I like this game for sega. But try to save for a nintendo 64 hockey game. That should be fun.

Why this is the best...
NHL 97 is by far the best hockey game yet.Whether you are taking the hard-hitting battles in the corners to the showdowns that seperate the men from the boys, this is a definite 5(out of 5).Also, you can train your goalie skills in a practice mode where you can go 2v2, 1v1, 2v1, 2v0, and 1v0.Personally, I like to go 2vs0 where I only control Martin Brodeur, against Pavel Bure and Sergei Federov.

NHL 97 OK!
This game has much appeal, with control of up to 4 teams in season mode for different seasons!The game play is the same as NHL 96 or NHL 98 for Genesis, and the specialty moves are great.The transactions andCREATE-A-PLAYER is good.The one thing I do not like is the on-ice StanleyCup celebration.The NHL 96 one is better.I recommend this game forhockey lovers everywhere. ...
