    I'm not a hugh hockey fan, but NHL 2k6 really draws you into the rink. The gameplay is fast and addictive. The new goalie control adds a unique and often necessary aspect to the game. The players and fans need slight graphical upgrades.

    This game is the best hockey game ive ever played. Everything is good, the rosters are updated with crosby, ovechkin, phaneuf, carter etc., the gameplay is awsome, it has a new goalie control feature which is awsome, and the only downside to me is the graphics could be a little better.

    This game should only be played for the easy 750 and Pain in the ass 1000. You can get NHL 10 for the same price, or slightly more expensive. Everything about is dated the game also freezes a lot, that it would probably be **** to play when the game was released.

    For now, the game feels like a transition step between current generation and the generation to come, and is a mashing together of a few new graphical details, a new mode, and then all the content from the old generation.

    Overall the same game that we’ve enjoyed for the past four years. New features like Crease Control, ProControl, and On-The-Fly Coaching are welcome additions, but this isn’t really a "next-gen" game.

    The A.I. in the game is alarmingly bad sometimes though, and you can score against A.I. opponents like a hot knife cutting through butter, or is that ice?
