Slightly off-topic question: are both of these games going to be available to the Xbox 360?

Just 2k6

InTheSlot · 09-08-2005, 12:13 AM

I started 0-2, and I just lost two back to back games vs the Rags, 5-1 and 3-1. I'm 0-4-0-0. This game is impossible. I swear it's like my goalie just lets in the easiest stuff, and the CPU can do no wrong on offense. You need to be a brain surgeon to figure out how to win. I really think I will go 0-82-0-0.

:angry:

play in easy mode til you figure out the secrets.

FireFly · 09-08-2005, 12:27 AM

There are secrets in these games?! No wonder I always lose. I kick serious butt at the shuffleboard and air hockey on 2K5 though...

MassFlames · 09-08-2005, 12:34 AM

Boy does Kipper stink in this game. His GAA with me through 7 games is hovering close to 4, and his sv% is around 86.5

i'm lucky to be .500 at this point

Gravitykillr · 09-08-2005, 12:40 AM

well I talked to a guy at Walmart(Westbrook) and he said tommorrow morning for sure, available as soon as they open so I'll be calling them and then Eb cause they are both at Westbrook then going to buy it, I can't wait thanks for the info so far guys. I'm glad somebody got to play it today

DJRice · 09-08-2005, 12:55 AM

ya, which is $40 cdn lol.

Ive played the demo and its good Ill admit, but Im one of those believers who have set a personal goal to never buy an EA product again, by how crap their last 3 yrs have been or so. I just end up regreting it a month later.

Ill see I guess. Could wait, a bit and just download it lol.

DJRice · 09-08-2005, 02:03 AM

actually wait dogs, if you can hold off till Fri - Future shop has them for $29cdn!

SoulOfTheFlame · 09-08-2005, 02:52 AM

While the merits of EA's buisness practices are certainly questionable it won't stop me from buying some of their games.

I have friends who work for for EA (About 8 actually) on many different rungs of the corperate ladder. I choose to buy the games to support them.

Gravitykillr · 09-08-2005, 11:16 AM

well I just called Eb at Westbrook Mall and the Walmart There as well and Eb dude told me he expect them to be in his shipment today when it gets there and walmart guy told me not til the 13th.

zukes · 09-08-2005, 11:39 AM

There was a day and a half delay here in London. Supposed to be here on the 7th, then 8th around 1PM EST. Actually came in around 4PM yesterday. Played last night. Goalies are great!! Which is awesome. Dekes are cool and they actually help to score. Hitting is toned down and less arcadey, excellent. The CPU on difficult is ungodly with their one-timer goals, but I'm glad that for the first time ever I can't beat the CPU on the highest level right outta the box.

Have some of the boys coming over tonight for a little NHL before the NFL Opener. Beer, video games, nacho's, pork, cheese sticks, jalapeno poppers and football. Might make for a long Friday work day. :P

Calgary Flames · 09-08-2005, 03:08 PM

Gravitykillr · 09-08-2005, 03:25 PM

I just bought 06 for the Xbox, i was told that EA was outselling 2k6 by a wide margin. I'd like to know which peeps here prefer.
