NHL 2K6 is full of features and has great game play. But the Graphics are pretty bad for a Next-Gen title on the 360. Madden 06 was known for having great graphics but pretty shallow on the features and that was true even though it played fine. KUSH games must have spent time making sure all the current Gametypes like Franchise, Skybox, Pond Hockey and more remained in this version and spent less development time into the looks. One great improvement is now you can control the goal keeper and that adds a new twist on the gameplay, it is a welcome addition, I also like that you can skate backwards now by holding a trigger and you can also control the hockeystick by using the right toggle. Overall i would recommend this game to any hockey fan for it's solid gameplay. If you can ignore poor graphics you will have a good time with this game.Read full review
NHL 2K6 I've never been a fan of the 2K series of hockey games. They're decent but just don't deliver the goods the way I hoped they would! Here's my list of reasons why: - Too easy to score - Gameplay not realistic - Players look like they're floating not skating - Unlockable teams only have numbers on jerseys not actual players - Controls are awkward and hard to get used to - Put in features that most people will find repulsive NHL 2K6 did build on the greatness of the 2K5 dynasty/franchise mode. But I just didn't find this game very fun. It was alright, but the additions to the gameplay I found stupid. Most of the mini-games sucked, and the unlockables suck. A plus side to this game is the multi-player pond hockey mode. Overall, like other 2K NHL games, 2K6 just doesn't do it for me. Final Verdict: 3/5 Rent or Buy?: As I said at the beginning, I've never been a fan of the 2K series of hockey games, if you're looking for a great Hockey game pick up a copy of NHL 06 for multiplayer and NHL 07 for Xbox 360 for overall play. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.Read full review
I recently purchased this game for my xbox 360 because the xbox version the I owned and worked does not work on the 360. This game was obviously not completly tested before release because it has freezing issues after you complete one game, 2K6 games knows about the problem but only gives suggestions on how to fix this problem and if they don't work they say it must be your xbox 360. Graphics aren't as good as they make them look. Very easy and unrealistic game play. I'm glad I didn't pay new price. Update: recently took my game back to walmart and exchanged for a new copy and the game seems to be working fine now.
I used to own NHL 2K5, and this game seems like a step down from that. The controls don't work anywhere near as well. Hitting is harder to connect than 2K5, as the animation for the hit goes off but your player slides off the opposing player without anything happening. Yet, when the opposition just gets too close to you the puck magically transfers from you to them. No check, no poke, nothing. Also, computer player executes the toughest moves with such precision and accuracy on any difficulty that it makes it frustrating to defend. Especially your own defenders are so bad because they never pressure the opposition, they just keep backpedaling waiting for something to happen. Also, the game is very buggy. I've owned the PS2 version of this game AND the 360 version and both have horrible problems with freezing. Once you've completed a game and are exiting to the main menu to save the game will freeze quite often, making you lose the game you had just played. There is no way to fix it and it can occur any and every game you play. Bottom line, DON'T GET THIS GAME. Even if it's just for the easy 360 achievements, it's not worth it.Read full review
