We've gone from modern to retro video hockey before, but what happens when retro collides with modern? This is what NHL 2004 would look like if it were given the EA marketing treatment circa 2020 full with assets reflective of the 2019-20 season from the Rebuilt Mod.
With high definition resolution so crisp you'll be wishing you were playing this on Xbox One X or PlayStation 4 Pro. The NHL 21 E3-styled reveal is right on the doorstep for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, so why don't we do a flash-forward? The NHL 2004 engine is so versatile and I commend the 2004 Rebuilt team for allowing videos and memories like this to exist on PC.
EA SPORTS, it's in the game.
