Nhl 05 is even better...............
Gameplay: The gameplay is poor i give the gameplay 4/10 the players move to slow..... by the time you get to the net everyone will be there if you are about to go on a breakaway but still poor gameplay. If you want a game with good gameplay nhl 06 is what ur looking for.
Franchise: Amazingly boring to much less options for franchise nhl 06 is better in everything except crease control thats all.
Summary: So practically this game is not so good as you think it is thats why i gave it 7.0/10 in total becuz the crease control and the graphics are good without those this game i would rate 1.0/10.
