This game is pretty fun. Pretty good graphics, along with good soundtrack and easy controls, I’d be fine buying this game for even $30.00
Great game, controls get some getting used but fun none the less
This is a great hockey game. I find myself playing it for hours. I am sad to see the ESPN format gone due to EA buying the rights to that as well but it is still a great game where you and your friend can battle on the ice for hours and never tire. A great game for a great price!!
***UPDATED REVIEW***NHL 2k6 is awesome, it just takes some time to get used to it. passing is a little bit more realistic and the pro mode allows you to open options and pass to the person you want. you can hit a slashing Brett Hull for a one timer or hit a trailing defenseman for a big slap shot.PROS-Stanley Cup animation is AWESOME!!! players throws off their helmets and gloves and hug each other, they shake hands at center ice, and then they name the MVP, he gets his awards from the NHL commissioner and then they raise Lord Stanley. awesome awesome animations.-custom soundtracks on XBox. put your own music in the game and your own goal music, fight music, music between periods, etc.like you can play the “Hey” song after a goal, or Minnie the Moocher between breaks of play, or “Kung Fu Fighting” when a scrap breaks out. just flat out awesome!-new animations, including an awesome intro and good replays of goals, and reactions to goals, like players hitting their stick on the ice upset and players raising their hands cause they just scored a big goal-hightlights after each period-fight option is like EA Sports. now, you can choose your fights instead of fighting on a breakaway and loosing a shot to score a goal, so that’s cool. also, helmets come off, you can grab, duck punches, or choose where to get your scrap going. meet up at the blue line or center ice and dance if you want.-total puck control is also on the same control, left thumbstick compared to 2k5 which was on the.
The game’s look has been toned down. It doesn’t look like as good as it did before. It looks more like an arcade game.the game feels very rushed, like they were trying to get it out at the same time as EA sports.Commentary isn’t bad, but I liked how it was before. Enforcer system is kind of cool.Game play is the same.One of my big problems is with the roster. (Yes you can download new ones.) But majority of the great players are free agents, which is cool since you can make your own teams, but it isn’t accurate. Also the new prospects aren’t in the game, though their new are in create a player.Overall the game isn’t as good as it’s predecessor, but it does have it’s own new touches.It’s still a fun game, but I think it still needs more tweaking.
I live in Dallas, so I have to say I was a bit of a homer in that I wanted it because of Marty Turco’s appearance on the front cover. :) Plus the $20 price point probably helped.But that issue aside, I’ve bought several hockey games in the past, including the last few in the 2K series. I’ve also played a few of the EA entries.The biggest negative in this year’s game is the loss of the ESPN branding. Last year when EA was going around buying up exclusive everything, one of the things they got was the exclusive use of the ESPN branding, and with it, the excellent hockey announcers Gary Thorne and Bill Clement. They’re replaced this year with Bob Cole and Harry Neale (from Hockey Night in Canada), and in that regard, it’s a step backwards. However, you can’t blame the developers of this game for that issue. I’m sure they would have rather kept the ESPN branding and announcers. The new guys are OK. I’ve seen some reviewers say they’re horrible, but let’s face it – what can you really do with commentary like “..and he steals the puck at the blue line” or “IT’S A BREAKAWAY!”. There’s only so many ways you can say stuff like that, and when you start playing enough games, any announcer will sound repetetive. Some reviews have really trashed the new guys – I won’t say that, they’re perfectly acceptable to me, knowing that they can’t use the ESPN guys anymore. But the remaining game sounds and music are just as good and customizable as ever. It’s really only the ESPN presen.
Its seems like hockey fans have been plagued with a whole bunch of games that aren’t even worth the name “simulation”. Nobody seems to be able to understand the concept of Defence and puck play usually flops from one break away to the next. Fortunately we are one step closer to a true hockey Sim. With ESPN NHL 2K6 you can take control of anyone of NHL’s teams in Exhibition, Season, Playoff, or ESPN’s praised Franchise mode. On the side are a slew of mini-games and “party mode’s” which basicly consist of death match and elimination style games best suited for multiplayer. Although unimportant, they provide some fun away from Season play. If your a hard core Franchiser (like me), you’ll find yourself in a world of sliders and switches which make fine tuning your gaming experience easier then ever before. This is a must because the settings on default are hardly perfect. The graphics engine seems a little outdated but who cares, hockey is hockey and the occasional glitch won’t phase many players. What most people don’t understand is that ESPN isn’t just a cheap alternative to EA Sports NHL series (although the $20 tag is nice!), ESPN actually makes better games and in my opinion you can’t go wrong. Unfortunately, inorder to get the game to a state that is anywhere near “realistic play”, you have to spend an hour or two messing around with the sliders and difficulty settings, on top of learning the games vast selections of controls. It took me a day of fiddling and two Franchise.
