    Well where to start, I bought both NHL 06 and espn nhl 2k6. I had my hopes up for NHL because last time I played it was boring and not fun, but the espn 2k5 was great and I loved it. The bottom line I have to this game that it has only few good things about it and the rest it crap tottal crap. THey took a good game and made it worst. Ex, first game I play goail comes out and hes mask is Well where to start, I bought both NHL 06 and espn nhl 2k6. I had my hopes up for NHL because last time I played it was boring and not fun, but the espn 2k5 was great and I loved it. The bottom line I have to this game that it has only few good things about it and the rest it crap tottal crap. THey took a good game and made it worst. Ex, first game I play goail comes out and hes mask is missing and I can see right into his head, that made me mad, I also find they took away some good features and animation like when you skate now you dont see the lines I hate that, and the ice stays perfect the whole time like come on thats not real, I think the crowed had better animation then the whole game its self. I give this gmae 2 stars haha because I like the goalis saves and I like some of the camera angles and the crowed is cool haha and better then ea sports fans. I think everone should play both and make up there own mind but NHL 06 is way better and now is cheaper then last year.… Expand

    Once again the bottom of the barrel garbage. I don't understand how every year these 2K fanbois praise such a peice of junk...I cannot wait for this series to finally go under and they close their doors FOREVER.

    Hockey season is back on, and 2K series continues with improved passing controls and fun enforcer feature, all for a low-low budget price.

    Rock legends such as Panthera and Jet Black Summer have made contributions to the soundtrack and many Brits will be familiar with the commentary of Bob Cole and Harry Neale.

    This is the best game of hockey that I have ever played.
