PlayStation 2 · 2005
About this game
New rules and updated rosters and season schedules feature in this update of the longrunning NHL series, as do many new features.
Deking is now performed using the left analog stick, with swift signature moves of star players that confuse opponents and reward skill.

The same stick is used to increase the accuracy when shooting.
While preparing for a shot, a bull's-eye appears in the enemy goal and you can quickly move the target to the corners for precision.
To add to the individual qualities, statistics such as speed and size are now reflected during gameplay in the players' momentum and turning radius.
To get past opponents quickly, you can generate momentum for quick speed boosts.
With the introduction of R.P.M. (Realistic Puck Momentum) dynamics, there is more randomness with the puck, as a shot off the mask can now stun goalies.
Another small addition is the deformation of the ice during the match.
In the player creation mode, where you can now apply bruises, broken noses, black eyes and scars to your players, the thumbstick is used for "face sculpting" - changing the different features.
All the regular game modes are present, of which the Dynasty Mode from the previous version is the most complete, with scouting and full management options, inside and outside the arena.
Contrary to the last game, you can now intervene during simulated AI games and win the match for your team.
The PC, PS2 and Xbox version support online multiplayer games, and as a special bonus, the original NHL 94 game, one of the first in the series, has been included with the PS2 edition.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks NHL 06 for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding NHL 06 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2005.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
NHL 06 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
