OH MY GOD THERE IS A GOD. EA SPORTS ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT I’M GOING TO BE WRITING IN ALL CAPS AND THAT NHL 14 WILL FEATURE AN NHL 94 ANNIVERSARY MODE COMPLETE WITH BLUE ICE, NO RULES AND JEREMY ROENICK BEING GOOD.

From their website:

Forget all the rules. Penalties? Get out of here! Offsides? Nope! Icings? Not a chance! Just old schoolNHL ‘94­-style gameplay that uses classic button controls to deliver big hits, real fights, dirty dangles and sick snipes! You can even celebrate those moves with a new take on classic goal celebrations.

All built within the NHL 14 game engine, NHL ’94 Anniversary Mode showcases its hockey video gaming roots through a retro presentation including blue ice, classic star-shaped player indicators, 16-bit arena powerbars, no adboards, and throwback organ music. Relive the glory days of NHL ‘94 withNHL ’94 Anniversary Mode in NHL 14!

THE GAME WILL BE OUT ON SEPTEMBER 10– THE DAY AFTER THE EAGLES OPEN THEIR SEASON ON MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. I SMELLS A MIDNIGHT, POST-VICTORY GAMESTOP RUN.
