Bob Cole and Harry Neal are one of the big reasons why I love NHL 2K6 for the PS2. Plus classic 2K gameplay with a ton of really awesome unlockables.

I know that this is an old thread, but which game did you end up getting, and do you still play it?

I'd still be playing 2k10, but it just quit working on 2 separate PS3's. It was so weird, couldn't get past the loading screen for the main menu, just froze there. Like I said it did this on both of my PS3s. So disappointed bc I can't stand any of EAs hockey games.

Do you have a PC that could run emulation?
I switched over to playing 2k10 on RPCS3

Runs like a dream

This game will kick your *** if you don t play properly. Finally I really like 2k9. This game was dismissed outright by everyone. But the AI is fun to play against.

2k hit on all cylinders with their 2k8 series. APF 2k8, NBA 2k8 and NHL 2k8 were all amazing

I forgot to mention college hoops 2k8 that could get my membership revoked LOL

Be interested to see your RPCS3 settings are. I am running an i7 7700K, 16gb ram and GTX 1080ti. Most of the time it runs like a dream really well but certain ice rinks and teams seem to cause compiling shader delays. I think its to do with the fact the game engine is animation heavy. Get 55 to 75 fps stable easily. I can live with it only 10% of time its a bit jerky/glitchy.

There is a noticeable difference between playing it on PS3 and emulated though.

I'd freeze it at 60.


Considering how the 2K11 version runs when at incorrect fps I suspect there could be game engine things depending on a set fps. This is just a theory though so I might be wrong.

If you need help getting a PS3 emulator set up and, provided you can prove you have a copy of the game, I can help you find a working ISO (won't post in public).

The game does run well enough in RPCS3, I can run it in the current version pretty smoothly even at 4k, in side view (up until very recently tended to stutter in the neutral zone) and with most cutscenes at 30 or 60 fps, though sometimes it dips down to 15-20 depending on the angle and what's going on.

That said, 2k7 and 2k8 also play really nicely, but unless you lock the game at 30fps, resulting in less smooth gameplay, the cutscenes will run at double speed.

2k9 plays really nicely in emulation.

Xenia is also an option, but less reliable, with a few more issues, can only render at 1440p max, and 2k sports games seem to have issues saving.
