NHL 2K6 is an ice hockey simulation made by 2K Sports, and published on the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Xbox 360 consoles. It features goalie Marty Turco on the cover of games sold in the United States, and forward Mats Sundin on the cover of games sold in Canada.

The game brings all the features from the previous year's game, ESPN NHL 2K5, along with others. It features a new "crease control" system, which allows you to control your team's goalie and make critical saves. Also, it implements the new NHL shootout system as the default.

The game is also the first ice hockey simulation to be made for the Xbox 360. It is priced at USD $19.99 for the Xbox and PlayStation 2, and $59.99 for the Xbox 360.

[edit] Technical issues

The Xbox 360 version of NHL 2K6 features an annoying bug, in which the game freezes constantly with the hard drive being used. The bug is solved by simply removing the detachable hard drive, but is considered a major annoyance. 2K Sports has issued a fix on Xbox Live that is automatically installed with use.

The Xbox version has also been plagued by several complaints.
