After establishing themselves in the virtual rinks, EA combined both NHL and NHLPA licenses in
NHL '94, allowing them to feature all 26 real teams (including both expansion teams) and players
of the new NHL season for the first time in the series.

Aside from the licenses, the gameplay for this edition sees for the first time the inclusion of the
devastating one-timer shot, but to keep forwards (literally) in check, defenders also feature harder
body checks, with new animations. For an additional challenge, players can also choose to control
the goalkeeper manually. A popular feature in previous editions, fighting is completely removed
from the game. Game modes include exhibition games (or "regular season" in-game), playoffs
(best of one or best of seven) and an all new shoot-out mode. The main options remain basically
the same couple since the establishment of the series - period length (5, 10 or 20 minutes), line
changes (off, manual or the new automatic mode) and penalties (off, on, on but no offsides).

While there are some minor differences between platforms (Genesis features record keeping for
users and the MegaCD version has more stat screens, CD quality audio backdrops and the usual
highlight clips here and there), only the PC version released at the same time features complete
season action.
