NHL 2005 Windows, XBOX, PS2 game

NHL 2005 challenges gamers of all skill levels to lace up their skates and create open ice. Dominate the open ice with NHL 2005, the most authentic and complete experience for hockey fans around the world. With new five-man motion capture technology, you'll utilize the entire ice surface by simultaneously controlling players without the puck. Open Ice Control adds a new dimension of realism to the gameplay experience. With the addition of choosing play diagrams to select your face-off strategy, the World Cup of Hockey, and the Drill, you can light the lamp like never before. NHL 2005 is the hockey experience that is easy to play but hard to master.

Open Ice Control allows players to execute offensive plays such as the Give-and-Go and breakaway passes. Or call for a defensive double team with the touch of a button. A completely overhauled skating engine captures both the explosive speed of offensive skating and the surgical precision of backwards defensive movement.

Dynasty Mode goes even deeper with a new, easier-to-navigate interface and more interactive GM/owner relationships, including a deep new email system.

NHL 2005 also delivers all the action of the World Cup of Hockey, with International Teams and venues from North America and Europe. In addition to all 30 NHL teams, NHL 2005 includes 39 teams from the Swedish, Finish and German Elite Leagues, as well as 21 International teams.
