2K Sports Will Not Release NHL 2K12

I never knew there was an ESPN NHL 2k5!!!

Just how good was it, as I was only familiar with their NFL title? Did it have great presentation, gameplay, etc.?

LOL! I remember flirting with "Jenny" from Treyarch on their message board.
I'm such an internet stud! Hahaha!

It was good and the presentation was revered. Offline left something to be desired as the cpu seemed to continually skate circles in the corners and 1 time too much. But, online, I always loved it and we even had a short lived 20 min/periods league. Finn even made an editor for it, but it didn't seem to respond to changes like NFL 2K5 did.

LOL you old dog you! Flirting with a Brit myself over on the Bioware boards. heh

On topic, 2k3 and 2k5 were brilliant, it's a shame this series has gone the way it has due to legacy issues and just lack of resources.

can you blame them, hockey doesn't sell, even nhl's sales figures with all their awards are beyond brutal, just not a popular sport

Not in the states at least, which is a crying shame. It's much more enterataining than any of the other sports.

I have the XBOX version and if you'd like I could post some gameplay video.

I've always been a 2k3 guy (and they had some ESPN presentation in that, too, but it was the first year for that so it wasn't too full blown), but ESPN NHL 2k5 was a good second place candidate. Fleshed out more, but the 2k3 gameplay always had me.
