There are no international teams, but both all-star teams are present. NHL 94 also added the ability to save records, and has four modes: Exhibition Game, Playoffs, Best of Seven Playoffs, and Shootout.

Notably, NHL '94 introduced the " one timer", an authentic hockey move where a player shoots the puck directly off of a pass.

Many improvements were made to the engine by EA between 19. The team rosters and player attributes in the game reflect that of the 1993-94 season, and include the league's two new expansion teams for that season, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (now the Anaheim Ducks) and Florida Panthers. The game maintained the series' signature vertical camera angle, which offered the player distinct gameplay and strategic advantages over contemporary side-view hockey games, and kept the 2D sprite character models of NHLPA '93 (albeit with some new animations).
