Delivering top shelf gameplay that captures the speed, finesse, and hard-hitting action of pro hockey, EA SPORTS lights it up in its 13th season of NHL action with NHL 2005. This year’s enhancements include smarter and less scripted player AI, context-sensitive control features based more on the personalities of each real player. The world cup of hockey takes part in this 2005’s world cup of hockey featuring teams from USA, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and more. New EA SPORTS Open Ice Control allows players to execute complex offensive plays such as give-and-goes and breakaway passes or call for a defensive double team with the touch of a button.
