Summary
The 1997 installment of EA's NHL sports simulation series brings enhancements primarily in the visual department. A refined "virtual stadium" system introduces new camera perspectives, including the classic top-down view that was oddly absent in NHL 96, along with 3D polygonal players replacing the previous bitmap-based ones featuring motion-captured animations. Additional features include support for multiplayer games involving up to 8 players via network or Gravis's GrIP system, the ability to design and trade custom players, and the typical EA sports multimedia presentation, highlighted by the intriguing "Goalie Mask Viewer," which allows you to examine the intricately decorated helmets of 30 goalies.
