First off I love sports games as well as hockey but every single year this game comes out the only difference is perhaps a little better graphics and the updated rosters.I have played a good majority of EA Sports games and why is it they put ALOT of work into a game like MVP 2005 Baseball,you work the minors as well of play them if you wish.Your bats can break when you hit a good pitch.You can charge the mound and start a fight.Get suspended.It even has a little card beside "Americas top 100 Prospects".Add broken sticks to hockey when your playing,ad line brawls from dirty hits,add injuries that are realistic.Change the schedule around once and awhile.Add some cool features like in Madden 06 where you can create a superstar and play them.WHY can't you do that in hockey?

the bottom line is this game is downright boring.Signing a contract regardless of the amount of money for players,has no bearing on the game whatsoever.EA wouldn't even spend the time ti input a patch for the salary cap.Yet if they made a new kind of Soccer ball i am sure in FIFA Soccer that would be implimented the same day.

How about get some Canadians to help EA with the game since apparently hockey to them is like Bowling to everyone else.We know it exists but no idea after that.Possibly even have a poll and ask the people who are BUYING the game every single year,what they would like implimented to THEIR game?

"hockey is our game,and it will always be ours"
Team Canada :)

  Those familiar with the series won't notice too much new. As a whole, it's still a great game, but flaws still exist.

  It's NHL 2005, without the hitting.

  I REMEMBER THE GLORY DAYS of EA's NHL series. Not coincidentally, they were the most recent glory days of the NHL itself, back in the early 90's when the New York Rangers were making their run at the Stanley Cup, before ... Read Full Review
