How it feels
A grounded hockey simulation that rewards tactical thinking and careful team management as much as on-ice execution.

About
Capture all the speed, finesse, and action of professional hockey with NHL 2005, the successor to NHL 2004. The game's new EA Sports Open Ice Control lets you execute offensive plays, such as a give-and-go and a breakaway pass, and you can also call for defensive double-teams. Dynasty mode has been enhanced with more interactive GM/owner relationships, including a new e-mail system. NHL 2005 also delivers all the action of the World Cup of Hockey with International Teams and venues from North America and Europe.
What players say
A fast, hard-hitting arcade-style hockey game that leans into frantic body-checking over finesse, which divides fans. Generally seen as a slight step back from the better-regarded NHL 2004.
