This is one of the best hockey games ever made. Everything about it is great. The visuals still look good. The gameplay is great. The commentary is from the best in the biz in Gary Thorne and Bill Clement, and is where this game really shines IMO. If you are a hockey fan and have an Xbox, you gotta have this game!
Damn this makes me want to get out one of my PlayStation 2 consoles and this game and play again! See what you will of the EA franchise but I think this game blew away EA during this era.
100% agree. There def was a lot of love put into sports games during that time. 2k blew EA away but Madden 2005 and NBA Live 2005 were EA's best NBA game ever- still not on 2k's level though
