Puck fans will be immersed in all of the authenticity and excitement of NHL 2K6 as they play like the pros. A revolutionary icon-based passing system, Pro-Control, allows players to execute all-new combo passing and shooting controls, queue up give-and-go attacks, tic-tac-toe passing, puck cycling, behind the net plays and more.

On-the-Fly Coaching invites gamers to play their style of hockey at both ends of the ice by calling team strategy during the action. Players can crash the net, screen the goalie and have defensemen pinch in toward the net, and then counter the attack by clearing the crease, collapsing the defence, or setting up a breakout for an offensive rush.

Gamers take matters into their own hands with Maximum Goaltending by swapping into the cage and utilizing their right analogue stick to make quick, intuitive saves when it counts the most.
