The demo's buggy. As in, "can't get to the main menu" buggy for me and a lot of people.
But I'm stupid. I must be. I like Doug Flutie.

Yeah i had the same problem.
I changed my drivers to the 78.11 and it worked.

I would do the same but I'm pretty sure my ATI card wouldn't appreciate it.
Guess I should look for new ATI drivers, though "new" and "drivers" and "ATI" all together is scary.

No, Legion. I'm not leaving.

I hear that this kind of goal is a staple in NHL2006 ;).

snagged the demo yesterday afternoon... not bad. I like my hockey games on the consoles though.
Still undecided which to get... nhl06 looks pretty, 2k6 is cheaper and looks pretty (but judging from the movies, the commentary is uhhh... not as good as ea's), )PLUS 2k6 is showing up on the 360's release list in november as well... so what to play, what to play

Har!
EA is teh suxxors!
Cuebert, if you like leagues and such, get 2k's for the X-box, and watch for the next season start thread. It is a good group of guys and a blast to play with them.

Yeah, I always seemed to miss the starts of the leagues here.. been around so long, but have never gotten the chance to game with anyone here...
2k6 is definitely looking like the choice i'll be making.
Eternal Darkness | Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes | Too Human | Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon | Captain America: Super Soldier | Max Payne 3 | Splinter Cell: Blacklist | Assassin's Creed: Unity | Far Cry Primal | the Division | For Honor | Far Cry 5
You get 2K6 for $20 for the Xbox.
Then you get it for the Xbox 360 later!
That's my decision. I'm more than happy to reward 2K with an extra $20. Especially since EA will probably come gunning for the damn NHL license next year, now that the league's back.

That was actually my train of thought as well. Getting the itch to start playing now though, this ea demo has been good, although you only play the last period, it's been helping
Suppose i'll look at the release date for 2k6 now..
/edit
oooh, sept 6th... excellent!

That's my path... Xbox version (hopefully) next week and 360 version ASAP. Luscious, luscious high def. Oh yes.

I'm looking forward to playing as a Kings team that isn't crippled like they were in 2K5. (once the roster update removed Allison and Deadmarsh, it was teh suck)

When it get's closer, I'll be needing teh helps in joining a GWJ league, etc, as I haven't done so in the past, and i'm a little stupid.

Don't worry, Swampy is in every league and he's doing just fine.

Is there a hockey game where you can actually create a team from scratch and enter it in a season? I've always wanted this feature and the closest I've ever seen to it is NHL 2000 (I think) where you could draft players for the Atlanta Thrashers. Also, 2005 is pissing me off now that I realized that it doesn't have a create-a-player or some sort of fantasy draft option.

Not that I'm aware of Vector. I'd love that as well. I guess we just have to wait for next year once EA has bought the NHL.

NHL2K6 has a create-a-team feature that you can bring into franchise. You choose your colors, logo, name, arena, etc. I think there's a fantasy draft, but I don't know for certain.

Online? No. It is called NHL2K6 for a reason, after all.

Oh aren't we clever!
Seriously, drafting our players in online leagues would be awesome.

Weelllll... I heard that this year there is a fantasy draft for online leagues as well. I don't think you can do create-a-team, but you can have a draft. Huzzah!
