Electronic Arts returns for its 13th year as a pro hockey simulator. With NHL 2005, EA's open ice control allows you to seamlessly switch between players with or without the puck, call for passes, set up vicious one-timers, drive the net for a deflection, or call for a defensive double team on the fly.

NHL 2005 also features all the teams and locations of the World Cup of Hockey, a deeper Dynasty Mode with PDA and e-mail capabilities, major online play, and player-specific AI.
Online play requires Ethernet Broadband or Analog Modem and Network Adapter for 2 players.
