Ultimate Electronics has a deal on a Panasonic 50" Plasma for $998. It's the Panasonic TH50PX77U model and it's very highly rated by CNET, Consumer Electronics and the ratings people.

I have it and it's a great TV. At $998 you can't possibly go wrong or find a better deal for that type of quality ...

Well beside the graphics, I'd like to know what people see that mean this game plays hockey. EA Sports hasn't gotten hockey for a very long time. This is nothing more than a rental based on EA's history. There were a couple significant problems with NHL 06 that made it a bit ridiculous. Other than ...

I think Bonds will come back as an AL DH and will break Aaron's record. Everything he's been saying would indicate that is his intention right now.

To those that claim Bonds is the most hated man in baseball and therefor he should quit the pursuit of the record, or nobody wants him to break the ...

I must say that 2K Sports has really taken it up the arse with the recent sports gaming license wars. .

Wrong!!!

We are the ones who are taking it up that arse.

I lost track... Is someone going to ruin hockey and basketball by getting those licenses? Both the consumer and 2K Sports has taken it ...

Good thing these f**ks got the exclusivity on the MLB license and EA is left with the best game that can't be sold. It's hard to believe in a free enterprise society that licensing crap like this has to ruin it for the paying customer.

The videos are good and the gameplay looks similar to MVP 2005. The throwing system and throw meter are a bit different from last year. Same with the hitting system. Everything else looks similar which is a good thing.

However, I don't believe the game will be nearly as good as MVP 2005 because of ...

In my best Minnaasowwta accent.... How bout them Gowwffers.....

I picked this game up today and played a couple games. In HD the graphics when the action is happening is great. If you happen to walk by and glance at the TV while the play is happening it looks like a real game is going on. I might be in the minority but I wasn't that impressed with the graphics ...

I played COD2 and the single player mode is great. Tons of tactical decisions to make and lots of fire fights. Multiplayer is fun too but not quite as good as single player. The COD2 graphics on HD are unbelievably good.

I also played Condemned this evening and it is quite a trip to play. The sound ...

Premium bundle just arrived this afternoon. I ordered it on Nov 18 from Circuit City's online web page. No standing in line, no pre-order, didn't even have to leave the house.

Came with PGR3 and NFSMW as well as a 2nd wireless controller and a recharge kit. Also picked up COD2 and NBA2K6.

NHL 06 on the PC is actually a very good game now that the game has been mod'ed by someone named iam on the DMHN web site. The big complaint out of the box was that the CPU played too passively, didn't hit enough, and rarely took penalties. With iam's mod the game plays a pretty realistic game of ...

62 penalties doesn't necessarily mean 124 minutes of shorthanded hockey.

There's lots of situations where both teams get penalties and nobody plays shorthanded. Misconducts also don't result in a shorthanded situation either. Also, if a powerplay goal is scored then the typical 2 minute penalty ...

I saw someone on another board messing around with player's resist penalties attributes and said they were getting pretty good results. I gave it a shot myself and used NHL View to lower all player's resist penalties attribute by 15 points. I also increased the fighting frequency for a few players ...

I read a post elsewhere, from a fairly reliable poster, that it might be possible to increase the CPU penalties and CPU hits by adjusting each player's resist penalties ratings. It sounds like adjusting this will make the CPU players play more aggressiveley and they'll go after you with more hits ...

I think NHL 06 was meant to be a "fun" game and on that it delivers. It's not a perfect simulation of hockey for sure but it can provide a fun and challenging game of hockey if you let it.

There's lots of ways to score, there's lots of types of penalties called, the skating physics are very good ...

I have not messed with sliders yet, but I don't think I will bother.

Played on default setup, but with Veteran difficulty and 10 minute period. Midway through the 3rd period, the score was 12-11. It was just ridiculous. Like someone said, I don't mind arcade hockey but this is insane. This is not ...

Are you guessing again? Why do you keep making assumptions that have no basis in reality?

Was this not your original question below?

Have you played any games with the hit difficulty slider way down and the hit power way up? I'm wondering if it helps the CPU hit more while not allowing me to ...

Assumptions of what? That you are desperate for Jack to tell you there's a magic bullet in NHL 06 that will make defensemen check, pinning to occur and cycling and grinding along the boards to happen? Are you guessing again? Why do you keep making assumptions that have no basis in reality?

Lord ...

Now, what would be the difference between Jack moving his sliders to the same spot as me? None. Because you're clearly anti-NHL 06 and I don't trust your opinion. That's why.

So as BDitty said, the next time you want private responses in a public thread, use the PM function. I don't want or need ...

PK, you don't like NHL 06, I understand that. It's been made clear on numerous occasions.

What I was asking jackB1 is whether he tried changing hit power and hit difficulty the opposite directions from what I had and what he may have seen.

You just don't grasp the Dana Delaney connection. AND THATS OKAY!

I grasp it just fine. You just don't understand why I said the beautiful comment and that's OK... Skippy.

Here's a question that has no good answer.... why doesn't EA have a set of sliders for the CPU and a set of sliders for the human controlled players in the NHL series? Lot's of other games do it, even games that EA puts out, and it's a great way to adjust the gameplay to individual preferences.

I ...
