Synopsis Rookies and seasoned players alike will find plenty of fast-paced, hard-hitting hockey action in NHL 2005. Don't sit on the bench and dream of being part of a winning squad. Lead your team to hockey glory and show off the moves of which legends are made. Heat up the ice and sizzle through a wide range of teams, modes and options. NHL 2005 adds even more fun to the game with a new skating engine that highlights the fast speed of offensive skating and the precision of backwards defensive movement. A new open ice feature allows you to complete offensive plays, including breakaway passes, with just the click of a button. If you aren't satisfied with just being a player, an enhanced Dynasty mode allows you to take on every aspect of being a general manager, such as setting ticket prices and calling up minor league players. You can also go international with the World Cup of Hockey, including international teams and venues from North America and Europe. Try out all the online features of this game with an Xbox Live Two Months Free Trial Card included with your purchase.
