thank you but i already knew about those disc versions. to install them you need additional mounting software which is nowdays full of malware.

what i meant is if you have some clean (without any mod) repack or already preinstalled version (with both cd's merged into installation). but i guess you don't have it since i already searched all the internet.

Lol. Like the guy above said, win10 and win11 have mounting features. For other image types, there is always Virtual CloneDrive which definitely has no malware since forever.

You're probably thinking about DaemonTools which has gone the wrong route for a long time now.

Hello everyone! Hockey is a rather rare topic on EvoWeb. Since hockey is quite interesting to me, I'll express my opinion on the best hockey game on PC. NHL 2004 is still the best! Although, it's undeniable that there are very few hockey games on PC. NHL 2004 is something like a hockey equivalent of PES6. NHL 2004 has good gameplay and a fan base capable of creating high-quality modifications.

As a bonus to this post, I suggest you check out the interface for the original NHL 2004 season. It's based on the ESPN interface. I created this adaptation a couple of years ago for myself. I'd be happy to share it with you. Also, give NHL 2004 a try if you haven't played it yet.

1) Install NHL 2004
2) Unzip the files to the game's root folder.
3) Play.

unfortunately and as i assumed, it doesn't work for me on latest version of win 11.

interface cannot start in full screen mode, i get scrpit errors when choosing teams.

in my case game only works with nhl 2004 rebulit versions of interface and vod's launcher.

Your antivirus is likely quarantining some files from the interface pack. Try unpacking the original season's interface onto a clean NHL2004 installation. Then, launch the game with your antivirus disabled. And yes, if you have a launcher, that's a good solution. In any case, if you want to play in widescreen mode, you won't be able to do without one.
 
Started off my collection with this, I remember 2k being miles ahead of EA when it came to hockey games back when

Out of curiosity, is also WinCDEmu affected by this?
I used to use it back in the day (before Windows would include image mounting support via File Explorer) and always been happy with it.

i don't know, i used windows mounting tool integrated into file explorer.
 
Is it possible to download nhl 04 with the rebuilt mod already applied? I'd like to try the 94 mod and apparently that is the first step

it would be amazing if there was an installer for this game, even just the base version, the magipacks one has disappeared from the internet
