About this product

Product Information

Sega's Visual Concepts rejoins developer Kush Games to bring the "2K5" edition of ESPN NHL to the virtual ice. This 2004 release is designed to retain the solid, core play of previous years' hockey games, while adding new features and a refined presentation. New moves are included to allow gamers to more fully take control of their players and the puck, and the fighting system has been redesigned. The Franchise mode has also been thoroughly revamped, and a new "Party" mode has been added. Even the "Skybox" feature has been enhanced, with a number of new unlockables. As in earlier versions of the title, ESPN NHL 2K5 features all of the National Hockey League's teams and players, based on the most recent full season (2003-2004).<br><br>In many situations, the right analog stick can now be used to directly control a player's hockey stick. On defense, gamers can make their players sweep at the puck, or poke-check a passing opponent, even while skating backwards. The fighting system in ESPN NHL 2K5 is tied to a tension meter that rises and falls according to the mood on the ice; when teams are hitting harder (or playing dirtier), tensions rise, and players are more likely to drop the gloves at the slightest provocation. Players involved in a fight can move freely around the ice, and retreat or charge into the brawl at will. A wider selection of punches and grabs is available, but good tactics are required, as each attack drains some the player's stamina.<br><br>The series' Franchise mode was rebuilt for this 2K5 version, designed to produce smarter GM opponents who make more realistic trades and staffing decisions. The gamer's own staff now consists of coaches, scouts, and players, all the way down to the minor leagues, and gamers can check out up-and-coming prospects first-hand, instead of just guessing at their styles of play based on statistics. All minor league games are simulated, and virtual managers can keep an eye on prospects in their farm teams throughout the season, or even influence the rosters to give a hot minor league rookie the ice-time he needs to develop his skills.<br><br>Over the previous few years, the SegaSports hockey games have gained a reputation for highly realistic, almost simulation-style gameplay, especially in comparison to EA Sports' popular, more action-oriented NHL series. In contrast to the authentic style of ESPN NHL's standard modes, this year's version of also features a "Party" mode, designed to entertain players of all skill and interest levels with its accessible, forgiving action. In addition to the ability to relax rules and turn off penalties, a number of party-style mini-games are included, in which gamers compete to score the most goals or deliver the most checks in fast-paced free-for-alls.<br><br>Online multiplayer gaming is once again supported, on PlayStation 2 through the PS2 Network Adaptor accessory, and on Xbox through the Xbox Live service.

Seller listed as “like new” with “mint” disc. Item arrived in a fake Xbox case, with photo copied cover art, was water damaged including a water damaged manual. Picture or description failed to mention this (listed as “like new”). Seller admitted to repackaging the disc and claimed he only rates the disc, though he described item and disc separately. Got aggressive when I asked for a partial refund. Told him I was trying to avoid this neg feedback. Do not trust descriptions from this seller.

Pictures and description were accurate, price was very reasonable, shipping time was prompt, however there was no kind of internal padding inside the disc case to make sure the disc wouldn't come loose during shipping, my disc did come loose in the case during shipping causing some additional light damage that was not shown in the pictures however when I went to test the disc it still works just fine. Not really a big deal at the end of the day. 8/10 would recommend anyone buy from this seller.

  • Great franchise mode, but little else!!

    NHL 2K5 I've never been a fan of the 2K series of hockey games. It has a great franchise mode, but little else and the gameplay is just not realistic. Here's my list of reasons why I don't like games from the 2K series: - Too easy to score - Gameplay not realistic - Players look like they're floating not skating - Unlockable teams only have numbers on jerseys not actual players - Controls are awkward and hard to get used to - Put in features that most people will find repulsive NHL 2K5 does offer one of the best franchise modes available. That being said, I still didn't find the game all that great. Final Verdict: 3/5 Rent or Buy?: As I said at the beginning, I've never been a fan of the 2K series of hockey games, if you're looking for a great Hockey game pick up a copy of NHL 06 ...

  • ESPN NHL PL2

    Both my son and my father are Hockey fans. We bought this game because of the price and the fact that you could use this game at camp because of its rating. But both my son and Dad/Grandfather enjoyed this game very much. If you are looking for something to get started with or you are looking to understand a little more about hockey this will certainly help while providing entertainment.

  • Awesome game. Brings back memories

    Awesome game.

  • This was a great but for my buck.

    I am a big hockey fan and i love to play it on my play station two, I am so happy to have bought this game and I would recomend anyone who plays sports in real life and on game systems to play hockey its one big thrill. So spend your cash and purchase the hockey games.

  • Playstation NHL Hockey

    Excellent grephics. Very smooth game flow. I like it because I can set up the games very simply. Users have a miriad of options to suite any level of expertise. I can hardly wait for the Playstation 3 version.
