I remember the glory days of EA's NHL series. Favorite features from earlier seasons return, including professional play-by-play and color commentary, the chance to design and develop a custom player, and full representation of the National Hockey League's real-life teams, players, and arenas. Larger players can put their full force into a clean check, but smaller players will be more agile, and able to turn more quickly to avoid those big hits. In addition to puck movement, the momentum of the players themselves is now accounted for. Fast-moving pucks may now even injure unwary defensemen, or cause goalies to lose their cool. The game's "Real Puck Motion" ("R.P.M.") physics system is designed to accurately reflect the sheer power of that little hunk of hard rubber moving at 90-plus mph, and allows effects like "rippling the twine" of the net, or even bumping the goalie's water bottle. The "Skill Stick" control option is designed to allow players to aim their shots more accurately, with a quick flip of the right analog stick. The "06" edition of EA Sports' classic hockey series hits the ice with a number of new features.
