Opis:
NHL 06 to kolejna część jednej z najpopularniejszych serii gier sportowych sygnowanych logo EA, a już na pewno najpopularniejszej serii traktującej o hokeju na lodzie. Jest to również swego rodzaju pocieszenie dla wszystkich fanów najlepszej ligi hokejowej świata, gdyż jak wiadomo, jej rozgrywki z sezonu 2004/2005 zostały przerwane z powodu braku porozumienia między graczami a przedstawicielami NHL, zaś kolejny sezon, który prezentuje właśnie NHL 2006, również stoi pod znakiem zapytania.

W najnowszej odsłonie serii NHL otrzymujemy spory wachlarz nowych zagrań i ruchów, tzw. Skill Stick, dzięki któremu znacznie lepiej operujemy kijem, a co za tym idzie oddajemy bardziej precyzyjne strzały (np. między nogami bramkarza) oraz nową fizykę R.P.M. (Realistic Puck Momentum) - groźne i potężne strzały mogą kontuzjować obrońców czy też dość ostro potraktować bramkarza lub siatkę bramki. Poruszanie się po lodowisku jest bardziej intuicyjne i realistyczne, gracze m.in. zostawiają wyraźne ślady na lodzie przy hamowaniu. Ulepszenia znajdujemy także w oprawie graficznej gry. Twórcy umieścili tutaj również kilka „smaczków”, jak na przykład szramy i blizny na twarzy naszego zawodnika, które mogą powodować spadek morale u przeciwników.

Description:
Last year, EA's NHL franchise took something of a misstep with NHL 2005. Despite being a generally good game of hockey, some gameplay problems, a somewhat lacking dynasty mode, and a few other scattered problems cost the series the momentum it had built the previous year with the thoroughly excellent NHL 2004. For this year, and for the triumphant return of the NHL from its ugly player lockout, EA has righted a couple of wrongs, left some other wrongs as they were, and tossed in a couple of new ones. NHL 06 doesn't feel like much in the way of forward progress at all, really, as it simply tweaks things that probably needed bigger overhauls and leaves an awful lot of the package generally untouched. Sure, it's got all the new rule changes, as well as an almost entirely up-to-date roster (on the Xbox and PlayStation 2 via online downloads), but considering how similar the game is overall to 2005's version, you have to ask yourself, "Is that really enough?"

Gameplay-wise, NHL 06 plays a lot like the last few games in the series have by focusing on a faster, more furious brand of play that can't exactly be called realistic but manages to be fun, regardless. Mechanically, all the changes made last year are back once again, including two-button shooting and the easy one-step wraparound shot. One thing that isn't back is the overwrought defensive artificial intelligence that made setting up offensive plays a gigantic pain in the neck. The defensemen in NHL 06 actually do things like poke-check and play you up close without necessarily hip checking you to the ice every time you cross the blue line into the offensive zone. Sure, they'll still knock you back, given the opportunity, but thankfully, those opportunities aren't nearly as plentiful in this year's game, giving you more chances to play realistic offense. That isn't to say the balance is perfect, mind you. On the default difficulty, we found it a little too easy to exploit certain one-timers and fancy shots--though to be fair, that wasn't so much the fault of the defensemen so much as it was the fault of the goalie, who for some reason finds it necessary to drop to the ice sideways at rather bizarre times. But once we bumped the difficulty up to either of the upper two levels, that issue went right away.

The audio experience of NHL 06 is on the same level as 2005. There are great on-ice sound effects, and there's periodically useful, but mostly overwrought and nonengaging commentary from the same twosome that's handled the commentary for the last few years, Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson. Additionally, more rock-based EA Trax tunes make up the soundtrack, which includes artists like Fall Out Boy, American Head Charge, OK Go, and Pennywise. None of the music exactly stands out, but it's all fine menu-screen fodder.

Fans of EA's brand of hockey will undoubtedly take something positive away from NHL 06, but even they will find it hard to deny that the game isn't everything that it could have been. 06 just doesn't do anything significant for the franchise, as it just adds some ancillary features that are neat to have but don't ultimately change the face of the game, leaving some of the most important (and, in some cases, most flawed) aspects of it practically in stasis. It's good hockey, but it's not great hockey. And there are better choices available.
