NHL 2K6

Top Shelf Tuesday 2005 - 07/26

Passing the puck is an elementary skill in hockey, but one that is important to master. Setting up give-n-go shots, breakaways, dump and chase situations, and other scoring opportunities not only develop from good passing, but from great execution and control. NHL 2K6 is proud to introduce the ProControl™ system, giving gamers a completely new set of mechanics and techniques. At the most basic level, ProControl™ is an icon-passing system with the ability to queue up passes to other team members. By pressing down on the Right Analog Stick, button icons will appear over each player, enabling more precise passing.

For the advanced player, ProControl™ enables true puck cycling to properly set up offensive scoring chances. By pressing a quick button sequence, the player can create a pass sequence to set up exciting scoring chances.

Additionally, ProControl™ gives the player the ability to protect the puck, and make dump passes. No other hockey game delivers the authentic NHL experience like NHL 2K6.

 

Top Shelf Tuesday 2005 - 07/19

The high-speed, physical play in the NHL makes hockey one of the most exciting games in all of sports. Quick reflexes, hard checks, and unbelievable agility are some of the things a casual fan may see. What's not so easily seen are the more intricate strategies and tactics that are constantly being used on both offense and defense throughout the course of a game. This deeper level of play can now be experienced by hockey fans of every level through NHL 2K6's On-The-Fly Coaching™ system. Players can select four quick offensive tactics to call at anytime that include crashing the net for rebound opportunities and screening the goalie, which positions a player to specifically impede the netminder’s vision. These offensive strategies are countered with defensive On-The-Fly Coaching™ tactics that include clearing the net of opposing players and calling for double-team help. No game delivers the unique blend of intense hockey action with the deeper strategic decision making like NHL2K6.
