though the real life leagues having some troubles at the moment, the new game out for NHL 2005 is, surprisingly, really not all that bad.

The bad points are the fact that the d-pad doesn't control players, which isn't what I'm used to. Second is that they've done away withcreate-a-player :o My anime character custom team used to kick-ass on the ice... now it can't anymore... :(

Thirdly, and most importantly of all, they did not bring back Don Taylor to do color commentary. The man rocks! Waaay better than the dull Craig Simpson... <_<

Other than that the game plays well enough (once I got used to the stick), the dynasty mode is well worth playing and much improved, plus the great little Free4All multiplayer mode is hilarious!! Big head, big head, big head!! :lol:

The in-game music wasn't badly chosen either (me loves Lola Ray and Franz Ferdinand...plus Ash's Orpheus is cool too. ^_^)

I'm sorry!

I think that I have played NHL 99, NHL 2000 and NHL 2003... not much though :P
I deeply and sincerely apologize! Can ya'll forgive me?

2003 is my favourite for the PS2, though I am gradually warming to the latest release, I just wish it wouldn't keep freezing on me...

just found that NHL 2005 actually lets you have goalie fights! :lol:
