2004 has to be one of the best NHL games of all time. Better franchise mode/settings, better create player, euro leagues, charge up hitting, and so much more. The game doesn't get old. While 06 may have better facial graphics for the players, their other options lack. 04 is better looking overall.
06 gameplay is clunkier with difficulty settings changing both teams. On amateur setting, it may be really easy to score a goal, but your goalie is just as bad as theirs, which changes nothing about competition. On pro setting, it's routine to get beat by more than 3 goals when their goalie is unstoppable and yours is still back on amateur setting. I feel like I'm cheating to have to boost my goalie attributes.
