This is a really fun game and it is also very challeging. I agree with the people that say its to much like 2005 but its got some new stuff and is a lot of fun. One of the new things in 06 is the skill stick. The skill stick is a great way to score on an oppenent, using cool moves like the player hitting it to himself by knocking it off of his skate or doing a spin move and then shooting or shooting between his legs. I thing skill stick also works for passing but i am not completely sure. The hitting in this game is awesome. There are alot of big hits that can get the gamer excited. The big flaws in my mind are the fact that its very high scoring and the computer scores way to easily. If you play by yourself in a harder level there is no way you will win.NON! If you play with a partner you have a chance but you always have to be aware of a person cutting in for an open one timer behind you and they usualy cant be seen on the screen so you need to aware of that happenin. Me and my bro play toggether on the hardest level and its very competive after losing for awhile. We play in 5min quarters and the scores are still 4-3 or something which is way to much for only 15 minutes of actually playing. THis game is really fun but very diffucult to win at the same time.
