I'll still buy both. 06 looks promising though. If the gameplay improves ( it only can compared to last year)

IMO Itech helmets are junk. Mine literally fell apart. In the long run it would be cheaper to get one of the Mission Carbsters on hockey giant for $20 and just buy the game.

I had an HC 85 that lasted four years(and is till wearable) and I've seen no signs of the newer ones I've had falling apart.

Off topic: Kobe, I recentliy changed jobs and now work for a lawfirm that has it's office in the same building as EA Germany. EA has the two floors above our two floors. However, meeting EA guys in the lift when going to lunch is a darn funny thing. Nothing but freaks. Most of em long haired, leather cloth and army boots wearing, thick cloud of cigarette smell surrounding them. I hope you EA guys ain't all like that, as it might give me a precise picture of what YOU are like.

They have some HOT chicks though. In the lift in the morning the hottest ones push the button for on of the EA floors. Makes me think "Challenge everything!" every time...

Hahaha. No, I'm nothing like that. I'm a jeans and tshirt guy with a shaved head! Must be an EA Germany thing. About the chicks. You should swing by EA Canada and check out our HR and Finance department. All of our development coordinators are hot too so the scenery at EA is pretty nice.

doesnt the new game come out in Augest anyways?

The game will be out in the fall when the hockey season is 'supposed' to start. And no, I didn't just steal opinions off of the Litty interview. I actually worked on NHL 06 so I can truthfully say that it is a great game. Bias aside, it's definately the funnest NHL game that I've played aside from NHL 2005 multiplayer.

really? I've seen so many dates around online like a week after Madden 06 comes out and September or October.. I guess it's September then? BTW 06 looks great.

Were you actually one of the ones that programmed the game or what Kobe?

The NHL series from EA (well, since NHL 2000 anyway) doesn't hold a candle to the NHL 2K series from Visual Concepts/Take Two Interactive/Kush Games.

Can't agree more...
