Gretzky NHL 06 is another in the long line of hockey games and a line of Gretzky licensed games, this one featuring the obligatory roster updates and games modes, exhibition, season mode and a new feature called "99 mode". In "99 mode" the player can sign Wayne Gretzky as a free agent for any team they play for, filling up a meter during the game, once it is full they can activate "99 mode" and bring Gretzky into the game.

Players competing against each other can both activate Gretzky if they "99" meter is full. The action is more fast paced, arcade-styled gameplay as to the traditional simulation games on the market. There is also on-line capabilities where players can compete against each other and view each others stats. Not only does the game contain license's for Gretzky, the NHL, and the NHLPA, but also the AHL as well including it's top players.The games are also called by color commentators Mike Emrick and Darren Pang.
