ESPN NHL 2K5 continues the ESPN NHL series by introducing a host of new features. The gameplay, presentation, and graphics from last year's episode have been improved in the sequel.
This time you can use improved body checking and defensive maneuvers to get even more physical with your hockey players. An enhanced ESPN presentation introduces locker room cutscenes and includes stat-heavy overlays, crowd chants, and more.
You can also compete against your friends in the all-new Party mode, and you can participate in online tournaments.
