NHL 2005
 



Thought this needed a topic. :o

Open Ice Control: Seamlessly switch between players with or without the puck with the push of a button.

Total Player Awareness: With more player awareness than ever before, make saucer passes just before the blueline, call in a second defender to break up a 2-on-1, or fire off wrist shots at the perfect angle on net.

Face-Off Playbook: New playcalling system allows you to choose offensive and defensive face-off strategies every time the whistle blows.

The World Cup of Hockey: Take part in this year's World Cup of Hockey featuring teams from USA, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and more .

All-New Skating Engine: Glide then use explosive speed to get to the open ice -- now you have more puck-handling and turning control.

The Drill: One net, one goalie, and every man for himself. Up to four can play and the one who scores the most wins.

Sounds awesome, anyone else gonna be getting this?

And look who's on the cover :love:

Hired Hitman 07-08-2004 12:40 PM

Looks GREAT!

Markus Naslund :love:

DaveWadding 07-08-2004 12:43 PM

the curse has now been placed upon Mr. Markus Naslund.

Hired Hitman 07-08-2004 12:44 PM

What do you mean, DaveWadding?

DaveWadding 07-08-2004 12:50 PM

the EA curse. look it up.

Penner 07-08-2004 01:00 PM

He means Naslund will get injured/arrested or something because he's been put on the cover.

Hired Hitman 07-08-2004 01:10 PM

... Oh shit :'(

AareDub 07-08-2004 03:01 PM

This is the first I've heard about the game, but I'll be getting it for sure. I think I've bought every one since 2000, and of course there's 94 and 95 :D

MoRcHeEbA 07-08-2004 03:45 PM

doesn't seem that different from 2004... I usually only buy the sports games like NHL and Madden every two years, so I doubt I will buy this one. Dave it might also want to be pointed out that Heatley was the first NHL player to get the EA curse, it's usually just the guys on the madden covers that get it.

I won't be picking Ray Lewis in fantasy football this year though :shifty:

Yeah i'll probably get it, seems a bit pointless getting 2004 now.

Any news on the release date?

Kapoutman 07-11-2004 11:40 AM

Sounds awesome. :love:

Loose Cannon 07-11-2004 02:00 PM

I haven't bought a hockey game since Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey for N64. I think I may finally have to get one. Can you play these online now?

BTW: That "Drill" thing sounds fk'n sweet.

Y2Ant 07-11-2004 06:02 PM

Yeah you can play online on a PC, don't think you can on consoles though.

Should be out in September/October.

DaveWadding 07-11-2004 06:06 PM

You can play online with PS2 (on 04) and should be able with both PS2 AND XBox this year.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 07-11-2004 07:29 PM

That drill thing sounds cool...I dunno tho..Im not a big fan of hockey so I think I can live with '04 for a while

Y2Ant 07-12-2004 10:47 AM

I'm not sure what platform to get it on, if Gamecube had online play i'd get that, but I had much more fun with my PC version of 04, with playing online. :o

Buy it on PC or buy GC, and download PC.

Y2Ant 07-14-2004 07:38 PM

Yeah i'll probably do that.

I dunno, it was kinda weird though, like I was better at playing when I was using my keyboard for some reason. :o

Yeah, that was nice seeing Jan Bulis go back and forth between all your players, including the goalie. :cool:

Y2Ant 07-20-2004 10:34 AM

Whooped Mr. Metal Ed 3 times in 3 games :love:

Or did we play 4, I forget. :o

That shorthanded goal that went in off the bar. :cool:

LoDownM 07-20-2004 04:13 PM

Y2Ant 07-20-2004 04:58 PM

Challenge for a game (and don't lag) :mad:

LoDownM 07-20-2004 05:20 PM

Pfft. Get a better connection next time :rant:

Y2Ant 07-20-2004 09:40 PM

Try rebooting more than once a week perhaps. :roll:

LoDownM 07-21-2004 01:43 AM

Try not looking 12 :roll:

Y2Ant 07-21-2004 10:04 PM
