Couldn't disagree with you more. I've bought both releases in the past and have no
allegiance to either, EA just looks better and it more fun to play. The intro and menu screens alone blow 2K out of the water and craps on them from a great height. So if you're talking about pure asthetics then EA wins in that department hands down. You can argue the skating engine or controls all you want, but spend some time with NHL07 and you'll be impressed. The new controls with the deking on the the right stick along with the shooting is very natural feeling and after an hour you'll start wondering how we just banged on buttons before.
The NHL 2K6 demo is alright, the gameplay is fine but I just can't get into the creepy opening scenes, it's like you're watching a bizarre cartoon. I can't see myself buying another 2K hockey release ever again.

I mean, all you show of your game is the shootout?

Your game? It's EASport's game, and the idea of the shootout was to get the new controls into players hands. It's just a demo, I don't mind the shootout.
