Did anyone here play the PC versions of NHL 96 through NHL 2001?

Every year, the menu was fresh. Each one had its own feel, yet was still familiar enough that you'd know where you were going to start a game, create a player, look at tasks, view goalie masks (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring this back). The presentation throughout the games, you'd get to see the starting lineups, etc. NHL 13 started slowly getting back to this (I don't have '14 and don't intend on buying it), but it seems like the front-end and in-game presentation team has been mailing it in for years.

Anyone remember what NHL '07 for Xbox 360 was like compared to '07 for PC/PS2/XBOX? Even if the player faces all looked like trolls, the graphics were a MASSIVE improvement. That was a change in engine and shader model.

I think if NHL 15 gets a nice shiny new engine (pleeeeease DX12), we might be blown away again. I'm really hoping it's not just NHL 14 with a roster update.
