Live play-by-play commentary was introduced in "NHL 97". In the Genesis version of NHL 95, KNBR radio sportscaster John Shrader replaced Ron Barr in that duty.
In NHLPA '93 and NHL '94, Emmy award-winning sportscaster Ron Barr gives a pre-game scouting report prior to each game. It would be the first time since 1997 that a goalie was on the cover of an EA Sports NHL game, when John Vanbiesbrouck, then of the Florida Panthers, was featured on NHL 97. If either of the three abovementioned players are picked, it would be the first time since 2006 that a goalie was on the cover of any NHL game (including the NHL 2K Series), when Marty Turco, then of the Dallas Stars, appeared on the cover of 2K Sports' NHL 2K6. The latter has been featured on some fake fan-designed NHL 12 covers. EA Sports has not announced who will be on the cover of NHL 12, but fan speculation on forums has Tim Thomas, Carey Price, and Ryan Miller as the frontrunners. NHL 96 featured New Jersey's Scott Stevens and Detroit's Steve Yzerman. NHL 95 featured an in-goal camera during a goal scored by Alexei Kovalev of the New York Rangers during the '94 Stanley Cup Finals against Kirk McLean of the Vancouver Canucks. This changed with NHL 94, which featured a goal situation for Tomas Sandstrom ( LA Kings) against Andy Moog ( Boston). This photo is surrounded by eight small portraits of players ( Steve Yzerman, Andy Moog, Pat LaFontaine, Brian Leetch, Ray Bourque, Patrick Roy, Jeremy Roenick, and Rick Tocchet). On this cover, the main action photo features the New York Rangers' Randy Moller checking the Philadelphia Flyers' Rod Brind'Amour while Rangers goaltender Mike Richter makes a save (in this photo there is the logo of the New York Rangers located on the bottom right of the goaltender's pants). NHLPA Hockey 93, on the other hand, had the rights to use player images, but not of the teams. As it lacked the NHLPA license, the early titles staged photos without real players.

In "NHL 11" though, the logo and jersey appear.
The Hartford Whalers logo was not included due to the fact that the city of Hartford owns the team's rights and has prohibited the team's inclusion in the game.

NHL Hockey has NHL and NHLPA licenses, so player names and team logos are in use.
