And if so, will the game be at a discount price? There's no NHL season this year, wtf is EA going to charge for? They usually have "features" such as updated roster, improved AI (which i never noticed) and they mess up something that worked in the last edition. I'd assume they'd use the NHL2005 roster and remove the retired folks..

This thread made me crack up when I read the title. Good question though.

The new feature for NHL 2006 from EA will be the inclusion of scab players.

Sales of all hockey games came in just under $30 million in 2004, down from just over $41 million in 2003, the NPD Group said. Hockey fell to 8th among sports genres from 6th a year earlier, but unit sales were steady both years at 1.1 million.

What were the seven ahead of it? NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA Football, NCAA Basketball, PGA, NASCAR (?).

They can always improve the gameplay. Im sure there will be a season next year so they would be stupid not to capitalize on us canadians having hockey fever.
