Over a week after online retailers began listing it for $19.99, ESPN NHL 2K5 has been officially discounted. Making the announcement under the ESPN Videogames brand, Sega confirmed the next installment in its hockey series would be available for the "incredible price" when it ships out August 31. The game is rated "E" for everyone and will be available for the Xbox and PlayStation 2.

Sheeit - I'll play this for the greatest depiction of hockey in online exhibition play alone, never mind an 82-game schedule. It'd never happen anyways, not on these boards. :\

hahaha, i fucking love how they have screenshots of Kvasha, Hejduk, Kaberle, and Straka fighting, and then one of Brashear playing hockey

 

[Fifty]

wtf is F. Kaberle doing in a fight?!

 

[worldrunover]

That is one mighty big puck.

I'm sure this will hold over all those hockey fans hurting from not having a REAL season next year....

While this game will be godly, no way in hell will it replace an actual season for me.

 

[shpankey]

Wow, this game looks AMAZING! The gameplay from last year was awesome too. To bad they couldn't do this with the NBA series.

Too bad it isn't coming out a little earlier...but it'll still be landing right in the middle of the World Cup tournament.

 

[Socreges]

$29.99 CDN (I would guess)?? Definitely buying it now.

$29.99 CDN (I would guess)?? Definitely buying it now.

Yup.

 

[FightyF]

From what I've read, you won't see these kinds of players fighting, even after an entire game of constant intimidation.

I'm thinking that these screens were taken after putting in the fight all the time debug code...but I can't say for sure...they should be more careful when taking these shots.

 

[Mike Works]

Hahahaha, that screen reminds me of that guy on the Comedy Central standup

"DURRR, I'M BRETT LINDROS"
