== Features == [[File:NHL Hockey screenshot.png|thumb|[[NHL Hockey]] has NHL and [[NHL Players' Association|NHLPA]] licenses, so player names and team logos are in use.]] The Free-4-All mini-game was introduced in "[[NHL 2005]]," letting gamers compete with each other by scoring goals on one [[goaltender]], either in a certain time limit, or until someone scores a certain number of goals. With appropriate settings, defensemen can be incorporated into the game, making it more challenging. The NHL is not the only league in more recent games: A Nordic expansion of NHL 2001 was published by EA Sports Nordica introducing [[Finland]]'s [[SM-Liiga]] and [[Sweden]]'s [[Elitserien]]. [[Germany]]'s [[Deutsche Eishockey Liga]] was introduced in 2004 and the two previous leagues made a return. The game has expanded to include the [[Czech Republic]]'s [[Tipsport Extraliga]] in ''"NHL 07"'' and in ''"NHL 10"'' the Swiss NLA. Before ''"NHL 07,"'' users could only use European teams for Exhibition and Season modes. Now, users can bring a European team into Dynasty mode. A revamped Create-a-Player feature is available after being taken out of "NHL 2005." Gone are the pre-modeled faces to choose from and in comes facial sculpting, inspired by that of the [[Tiger Woods PGA Tour]] videogames. Create-a-Team has remained the same. Players have the ability to recreate defunct or vintage teams, or start new ones with plenty of logos and jersey designs to choose from. The [[Hartford Whalers]] logo is not included due to the fact that the city of [[Hartford, Connecticut|Hartford]] owns the team's rights and has prohibited the team's inclusion in the game. However, in ''"NHL 2001"'', there is a Hartford jersey selectable for Carolina in any modes. Create-a-Team is unavailable for the "NHL 07" [[Xbox 360]] game. A Shootout mode is introduced in ''"NHL 07,"'' emulating a true-to-NHL shootout. It is used to get Xbox 360 players familiarized with the game's new Skill Stick, as well as a means to practice shooting. Users have the ability to turn shootout rules on or off. Note: Shootout options in actual games will always be on. === International play === The [[World Cup of Hockey]] was a feature in ''"NHL 2005"'', coinciding with said event featuring authentic rosters and uniforms. It has been relabeled as "EA Sports' World Tournament" from ''"NHL 06"'' onward with non-licensed jerseys due to the lack of the [[IIHF]] license. Rosters for international teams in "NHL 06" were based on the real rosters of the [[Ice hockey at the 2006 Winter Olympics|2006 Winter Olympics]]. NHL 10 did not feature the [[Ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics β Men's team rosters|Olympic rosters]] of the teams playing in the [[Ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics β Men's tournament|2010 Winter Olympics]] upon release; a later roster update corrected many national teams.<ref>{{vcite web |home=EA Sports NHL 10 |title=Roster Update #9 |url=http://www.easports.com/blogs/inthecrease/post/slug/roster-update-8 |date=24 February 2010 |accessdate=30 May 2010 }}</ref>
