Flames fans buying NHL 06 for PS2 or XBox?

Nice work.

I can't stand the EA series though... the hits sound like explosions, the shots sound like cannons... and the gameplay seems to be always arcade-like.

Thanks, NHL 06 looks fun. NHL 2005 took almost a year to grow on me, I've been playing it alot lately.

I buy both games every year.

So do I, but I always end up returning the EA game.

The new featuers in ESPN look really good. Being able to cycle the puck on a powerplay so easily and always have your player facing the net should come in handy for backing up to the point or moving laterally.

I want to make a NHL 2k6 cover aswell. I don't think I can stand a Leaf player on the front.

I refer to it as the "gaycube".. frankly it sucks... but I got it right when the big 3 gaming stations came out and it was $150 cheaper... it does the trick though

[Calgary Flames]

Enjoy, cubers

Nice work Jordan, thanks alot.

[MJK]

Looks great man! Nice work!

Now if I could only get someone to create a signature/banner for me I'll be all set.

:P

[I_H8_Crawford]

Awesome job, looks amazing.

Ugh, I just read Cole & Neale are the PBP guys for 2K6... guess I'm going EA this year, it's bad enough I have to listen to those alzheimer's poster boys during the season and playoffs, now on my xbox too? :angry:

2k6 gameplay is far superior to 06 from the media that's been released.

i agree with Anthony, the sound effects are soo unrealistic and exagerated. the hits are like car wrecks, pad saves sound like 2 by 4's. 2k will definately be less frustating as the maneuverability is greatly hightened by being able to back skate at any time. so moving across the blueline for a slapper can easily be done.

[Calgary Flames]

How about we leave the inter-game bickering for another thread, yeah?

Here are some covers to those buying NHL 2k6:

[Jiggy_12]

Has there been official word on the release date fo EA yet? I keep hearing different dates and it sounds a little sketchy.

Not that i've heard... for any game. I'm happy to wait, I think they keep delaying the games to have the most up to date rosters as possible.

I like Flipper on the cover, aren't any of you aware of the infamous EA cover jinx? :P
