 Great to play, but not much to it. September 8, 2007
Definitely the most fun hockey game to play, if you just want to sit down and play a game or two.
If you are looking to manage your team, chemistry, rosters, trade buy and sell, etc... go for NHL 2K7.
The Dynasty mode is seriously lacking and is showing it's age as being about as sophisticated as it was 5 years ago.
The music is incredibly irritating, just like 2K7. Though in 2K7 you can select your own soundtrack. In this game you are stuck with the same 5 emo songs over and over.
 Tons of fun January 10, 2007

most of us cut our teeth on NHL Hockey for Sega Genesis back in the day, (okay, maybe Ice Hockey or Blades Of Steel on 8-bit NES) and EA's juggernaut has been lumbering forwards (sometimes sideways, rarely backwards) ever since. as gamers face another change of seasons and another "next-gen" console war, we're faced with the last few iterations on the current Xbox/PS2. now the current gen of NHL has been fairly well maligned, and since 2003 properly so. given EA's seeming lack of interest in making this series sparkle one has to wonder if the waning months of Xbox will yield some seriously scary results. fortunately, we're lucky to have been graced with a winner.
for me, the worst part of the last few versions of NHL has been the mechanical quality of it: Y = big hit anywhere on the ice, one-timers = automatic goals, hold down sprint at all times, the sum total of these maxims is to make the game less like real hockey and more like a cheap cardboard lookalike. but this time around we get some refinements. passing is now done with the right analog stick. this will take time to learn, but once you do, it's really intuitive and makes the game flow more like real hockey. sprinting is still an advantage, but doing it now results in the puck dangling just out of reach as you speed to catch up with it, resulting in more opportunities for the D to snatch it away. big hits are still around, but thankfully don't overpower the finesse of the game. and thankfully, one-timers are toned down (something i can't say about the latest from EA's rival, NHL 2K7) which will make you work the puck a bit more. i must bring up the fact that the Xbox360 version of the game gets a totally revamped stickhandling system that really does redefine console hockey, but i'm sure if you cared you'd be reading that review instead. as for this edition, the graphics & sound remain mostly unchanged from the '06 version.
so don't consider this edition a wholesale change, think of it as refining a smattering of things that result in the game feeling less like an exercise in "how many cheesey moves can i pull off without feeling guilty" and more like "wow, NHL hasn't felt this much like real hockey since the Pens won their first Cup!"
