NHL 2K6 Beta Movie Clip (8-24-05)

[Steve_OS]

We have just posted another movie clip from our beta copy of NHL 2K6.

"Play like the pros with our revolutionary icon-based passing system. All-new combo passing and shooting controls let you queue up give-and-go attacks, tic-tac-toe passing, puck cycling, behind the net plays and more!"

I used a combination of Malignant and VeNOM2099 sliders for this clip.

Thanks a bunch for listening to requests. That's service . Looking forward to seeing what this one has to offer. I'm assuming your hardware problems (half-second lag) are still an issue, so it's hard for you to react precisely, yes? Is that a capture problem or something?

[Steve_OS]

Yes, it's a capture problem. I need to get to Radio Shack and try something new.

Great clip Steve.

The slider adjustment really brought the game to a more realistic pace!

Hopefully we'll see the Habs in action soon! Thanks also for cycling through cameras - especially the HIGH SIDE!

Question - are there any apparent bugs (i.e., the previous nhl 2K games were plagued with NOT properly saving your settings... like the goal horn volume etc.)?

Cheers,

Cozmicoz

The difficulty level was Pro. You can find the sliders I requested (that are 95% based on Alpha99's sliders) and VeNOM2099's tweaks from this forum thread.

It's the best video we've seen so far. As some people have mentioned (on other forums) there were too many Interference calls but it needed bumping up in 2K5, so we obviously now know it won't need altering for 2K6. The video shows the 'Interference' slider at the maximum level.

There was a lot more stoppages, due to 'Goalie Freeze Puck Time' being put to Zero. Plus the 'Puck Retention' slider did its job, we maxed it out and because of this the CPU looked a lot better during the PP.

Oh one more thing. Yesterday I was pondering as to whether to bother sending some sliders to Steve (as I was in a lazy mood) but I'm so glad I did and even more thankful that Steve listened. It's the best video I've seen at the moment and I thank Steve for taking the time to do all of this.

Hey Malignant and Venom. Go ahead and let me know what I should adjust for the next clip. I think I'll bump it up to All-Star and get the penalties back to default. Let me know what else you'd like to see.
