complete game experience true to the sport itself.
Vincent Lecavalier, the highly-skilled assistant captain of the Tampa Bay
Lightning and one of the most decorated young stars in the NHL®, graces the
cover of NHL 06. In 2003-04, Lecavalier, 25, led the Lightning to the Stanley
Cup® Championship in an exciting seven-game series against the Calgary Flames.
Three months later, Lecavalier was named the Most Valuable Player during the
2004 World Cup of Hockey and lead Team Canada to the gold medal.
Electronic Arts has also announced that
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06 has gone gold and will be in North American stores

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06 offers all new gameplay challenges with the introduction of the dual analog swing.* Both analog sticks are used to give players more control than ever. Players will need to think more strategically before executing their shots and focus on the impact point on the ball. A new putting mechanic also provides the opportunity for players to rely on finesse and move the analog stick only as far as needed to make the putt.
Another exciting addition is the all-new Rivals mode in which players get the chance to earn and defend the title of #1 Golfer of All Time. After creating a detailed golf character in GameFace, players follow Tiger Woods’ path through time in an attempt to best both Tiger’s accomplishments and the accomplishments of elite golfers from each era. Legends such as Old Tom Morris, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus stand in the way as you attempt to become the greatest golfer ever.
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06 features 12 licensed courses including Pasatiempo Golf Club, Pebble Beach Golf Links, Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, and Reflection Bay Golf Club, plus three new fantasy courses including New York’s Central Park. Sixteen PGA TOUR players hit the links including Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, and for the first time, Mike Weir, Chris DiMarco, Ian Poulter, and Luke Donald.
